Fluid Crust Surgery – Raquel Quevedo

Words

Collectible artworks presented at the hole project Fluid Crust Surgery;
Exhibited at Etage Projects (Copenhagen) and Marsèll Paradise (Milan) 2021.

Matter is presented as a construction of that which is natural, a source of energy and a virtual image, a rendering from another rendering. It is constructed by extracting data from the work of its physical and virtual dimensions and, along with other data generated by digital technologies, visual language, and science, matter generates more matter in other contexts of time and space than the original.

****************

Fluid Crust Surgery is a multimedia project consisting of an organic livestream installation and the exhibition of 100 sculptures-books.

The project reveals the superficial crust of life and aims to change it by surgery, using Fluid as a magnetic force.“Fluid makes us mutate, keeps us together and at the same time separates us in a circular motion.” The project works with concepts of organicity, permeability and movement reflecting the mutability of being. Like a shaman that can inhabit other bodies and allow us to live circumstantially in other bodies, matter is here the object of intersection between the computing space (digital technologies), cultural systems (visual language and science) and the identity multi-space.

These new artworks by Quevedo combine vivid colors with surrealistic textures, mixing digital and physical codes with gesture in an intriguing affirmation of life’s synergies.

****************

This project uses matter as a symbiotic human/object relationship. Moreover, far from avoiding the capitalist practice of extraction, it is used to its maximum consequences, stretching matter in its multiple forms, ideas, images and renderings. A logic of extraction to the point of turning matter into data to convert it into new matter. As a result, this project aims to be a library of symbols, samples and figures: a cell that becomes a superstructure, a loop of warped concentric circles.

It proposes a tentacular itinerary through extractive landscapes; through this scenario where this generation of matter-data takes place, creates a net-work, a deformation mesh, a new relief, through which we observe and experience matter and its nature. These extractive landscapes are hybrid scenes, where the works speak of growth and fragility, anchoring and flexibility of the object-nature/culture-human relationship. In a broader context, they work with metaphors of development and the physical-virtual construction of being.

Under the layer of materiality, questions arise about the transience of nature on the journey that unites the concepts of fiction vs. reality, virtuality vs. physicality, true vs. false, intuition vs. facts, designer vs. artist, individual vs. community.
