Mauro Giaconi: cae a plomo (desde el fondo del tiempo)/falls to lead (from the depths of time)
June 9 – July 9, 2017
@ BMoCA
A site-specific wall drawing and installation commissioned by BMoCA.
Mauro Giaconi’s graphite drawings on walls, paper, and found maps were created from a layering process where the representational image is built only to be destroyed by gestural strokes of erasers, sanders, and other corrosive materials. Basing his work on abstracted architectural forms, such as columns, fences, and walls, Giaconi’s process dissolves psychological barriers and symbolic connotations of architecture that are socially embedded in our consciousness.
