Author: Ramirez, Pablo Joe
For these 22 artists, materials operate as vital forces in the creation process. Their works are informed by ancestral practices and challenge common assumptions about the world. Stones, avocados, volcanic rock, cacao, achiote, clay and mineral pigments both perform art and behave artistically. 'Several Eternities in a Day' considers ideas around materials as records of the living and repositories of cosmic memory, Brownness and cosmopolitan Indigeneity. Refusing to speak from an ethnographic distance, the exhibition and its catalogue instead propose an approach based on permeability. Artists include: Jackie Amézquita, Carmen Argote, Gabriel Chaile, Naomi Gamarra, Raven Halfmoon, Rose B. Simpson, Ayla Tavares, Gustavo Caboco, Patricia Domínguez Claro, Sky Hopinka, Santiago Yahuarcani, Raven Chacon.
ISBN 9781636811956. DelMonico Books. hb. 280 pages. 140 colour ills. 26.7 x 19.1 cm.
