carlos amorales en el palazzo delle esposizioni.

Remix

In this show, Carlos Amorales experiments with an unprecedented way of setting the works together: five installations and one performance, created between 2005 and 2010, in an uninterrupted succession and in part overlapping. The exhibition title Remix, a musical term, derives from this choice of amplifying the hybridisation process that lies at the origin of each individual work.

All the works on show derive from the huge Archivo líquido, a digital archive which Amorales began in the late 90s. It is in continual expansion and the artist draws on it for each new work: images taken from magazines, catalogues and books, photos by Amorales himself or downloaded on Internet which, transformed through inventive and technical processes, become drawings, slides, videos, collages, paintings, sculptures, installations and disc covers.

The Liquid Archive is a kind of glossary and Amorales feels it important that others should use and interpret it, extending its significance. At the Palazzo delle Esposizioni a group of students installed, interpreting them, the works El estudio por la ventana and Black Cloud. Their collaboration took place in the context of a seminar held by Professor Claudio Zambianchi of the Facoltà di Scienze Umanistiche – Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”.

The exhibition is curated by Daniela Lancioni, senior curator of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni. The catalogue is published by Skira and drawn by Carlos Amorales.
