The Armory Show 2022

For this occasion, Instituto de Vision was in the Focus section with Aurora Pellizzi curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates. In the Platform section we presented the work of Carolina Caycedo curated by Tobias Ostrander.

The work of Aurora Pellizzi explores the female body and its relationship with crafts traditionally generated by women. In the series Plastex, we find solitary bodies of swimmers floating in the waves, Pellizzi weaves with a traditional technique, strips of plastic on a weft of ayate in order to propose different perspectives on notions such as heritage, craftsmanship and design.

Carolina Caycedo was born in London to Colombian parents. In her work she transcends institutional spaces to work in the social realm, where she participates in territorial resistance movements, solidarity economies and housing as a human right. Muxeres en mi is a work built, as a tribute, with clothes of Latin women who have influenced Carolina’s artistic practice in order to rethink the idea of art history as a discipline narrated from a single dimension.
