2011-12 Self-narratives

20011-12 Identity, autobiography and self-narratives

International Small Format Contemporary Art Exhibitions. Eleventh edition organized.

From the art project-laboratory MX Espai 1010, we started together with Nora Ancarola in 1998 some international calls that lasted until 2016. With this proposal we wanted to observe the drifts that were taking place in the world of textile art in connection with its insertion into contemporary art after the Lausanne Biennial closed in 1992.

A small inner journey. We know that autobiography is a literary genre and that its correlative visual art is self-portraiture, but we feel that to spread the possibilities of representation over the full range of the context of narration has made it possible to generate works of greater richness and complexity.

It was not until the twentieth century that artists have generated a veritable catalogue of viable acts-of-representation in which what is private always takes place within a context. Atlas by Gerhard Richter, or the entire work of Louise Bourgeois, are magnificent examples…
