Melanie Smith: Mexican Pavilion at LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA

Melanie Smith
Cuadrado Rojo, Imposible Rosa / Red Square Impossible Pink / Quadrato Rosso, Impossibile Rosa
Mexican Pavilion at LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA
4 June ‐ 27 November 2011
Red Square Impossible Pink is an exploration on the frame as the aesthetic and political limit of representation in art. In Melanie Smith’s work the pictorial question on the frame as a limit has driven large part of her artistic research. By questioning the aesthetic and artistic practices of modernity — particularly the relationship between abstraction and utopia in Suprematism — this project works on the displacements and variations this utopia has produced in Latin American geo‐esthetical emplacements. Thus, Smith tackles the issue of the transformation of utopias as artistic projections into heterotopias as productions of social and political experience in Latin America.
