“En su actual muestra en el Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo – ICA Boston, Caycedo presenta la culminación de una parte importante de este proyecto, basado en una serie de esculturas colgantes llamadas Cosmotarrayas, ensambladas con redes de pesca artesanales y otros objetos recolectados durante una investigación de campo en comunidades ribereñas afectadas por la privatización de sus aguas. Estos objetos, muchos de los cuales le fueron confiados por habitantes de estos poblados, evidencian la importancia de las nociones de conectividad e intercambio que son fundamentales en la práctica de la artista.”

Fishermen and women along the Magdalena River in rural Colombia tend to use the same kind of handmade net, but each fisher casts it differently. The artist Carolina Caycedo, who spent her teenage years there, noticed this around ten years ago, during a visit. Such nuances in casting, she said, represent an “embodied knowledge” based on a “relationship you build with the river.” She was fascinated by the beauty of the nets and began buying them directly from the people who made them—many of whom became friends. She dyes them in brilliant colors, and uses them as the structure for her large sculptures that often resemble birdcages or hollowed drums.

‘Walking is my primary process,’ artist Carmen Argote tells me as we stroll through the commercial district of Karaköy, Istanbul. When she arrived four weeks earlier for a residency at Ballon Rouge Collective, the Mexican-born, Los Angeles-based artist began walking aimlessly, sometimes for hours on end, observing mundane details of the city’s urban fabric: corn fibre street brooms, chipped plastic fruit crates, the light dancing on the surface of the Bosporus. ‘A way of understanding how I can connect with the city as a material,’ Argote explains of this dérive, which provided inspiration for her exhibition at Ballon Rouge, ‘Nutrition for a Better Life (Compre Chattara)’. There, a derelict wooden handcart used by one of the city’s many harduci, or scrap dealers, was festooned with knotted blue fishing rope, like the small boats docked on the river’s edge.
