Nayda Collazo-Llorens, Reverberación (detail), multi-channel video installation, 2010
- Thursday, August 4, 2016
- MAWA, 611 Main Street
Presented in partnership with ArtCenter/South Florida and ace art inc.
During her residency, Nayda Collazo-Llorens will be working on a new series that explores site and location through an expanded approach to drawing, involving not only works on paper but also found text, collected elements, audio and video. Collazo-Llorens considers markmaking in the most inclusive way: an erased line, a mark on the ground, a sound to be traced, lines on a map, people’s movement through space, a beam of light, etc. Her onsite research in Winnipeg will consider location as multilayered, and as a space of intersections where edges blur and boundaries are fluid.
Free! Everyone welcome!
