Common Frequencies, Spring 2021 at BioBAT Art Space, will bring together a group of cross-disciplinary Mexican artists whose work meets at the intersection of art and science, and explores the relationship between these two disciplines through sound, urban ecology, language, and the construction of symbolic imageries.
The exhibition, curated by Elisa Gutiérrez Eriksen* features the work of Tania Candiani, Lorena Mal, Gilberto Esparza, Marcela Armas and the Interspecifics collective.
The artists—working mainly across sound, performance and installation—are inspired by nature, resonance, mechanics, electricity, and magnetism and take these phenomena as the basis for the invention of poetic mechanisms that permit the possibility of tuning into multiple natural frequencies —emerging from minerals, animals, bacteria, plants, and humans—that are translated into visual and sonic landscapes.
