SER/VINIENDO – BE/COMING – DE/VENIR

June 15th - July 21st, 2018

 
 

SER/VINIENDO - BE/COMING - DE/VENIR: Laura Acosta, David Jaime Ruiz

TAP is proud to present an interdisciplinary exhibition of two Latin American Montreal-based artists. Colombian-Canadian interdisciplinary artist Laura Acosta, and Mexican Architect David Jaime Ruiz.

Through this collaboration and informed by their experiences as immigrants to Canada, the artists explore notions of representation, belonging and embodiment of spaces. Utilizing a performance-activated sculpture and virtual reality piece, this exhibition presents a space of liminality in which abstract floating bodies are suspended in a state of repetitive motions and unresolved gestures.

SER/VINIENDO – BE/COMING - DE/VENIR proposes a conversation between physical and intangible realities, where the roles of performer and viewer are blurred as both find themselves in a perpetual loop between being and becoming within the constraints posed by the spaces they inhabit.
