Art Basel Miami Beach 2017

Thursday 7 December, 2017 — Sunday 10 December, 2017

Carolina Caycedo transcends institutional spaces to work in the social realm, where she participates in movements of terri torial resistance, solidarity economies, and housing as a human right. Carolina’s artistic practice has a collective dimension to it in which performances, drawings, photographs and videos are not just an end result, but rather part of the artist’s process of research and acting. Through work that investigates relationships of movement, assimilation and resistance, representation and control, she addresses contexts, groups and communities that are affected by developmental projects, like the constructions of dams, the privatization of water, and its consequences on riverside communities.

Manuela Viera Gallo was born during her parents’ exile in Rome, Italy. Her point-of- view has been strongly shaped by the social and political violence that has affected the history of most Latin American countries and by a constant state of migration. As a consequence Viera Gallo ́s work engages preoccupations, anxieties and fears de- rived from her own experience. The artistic practice presents a multidisciplinary body of work that departs from absurdity to manipulate and distort known symbols and imagery into an allegorical, fantastical and darkly comical framework that allows her to take ownership of the subsequent transformation to analyze different processes of political and social instability.
