Uni– verses | María Edwards
Exhibition video
For documentation and future sharing proposes, I recorded a video of Maria's exhibition after working on its visual identity and book. The video shows every artwork in detail, and how they occupied the gallery space while establishing a dialogue with each other.
About the exhibition:
Edwards’ work has developed around the role of herself as an active observer of reality, an agent producing object-scenes from a collection of random elements she finds and selects. From these journeys she creates relationships and constellations between objects or fragments, guided by intuition and amazement that find their correlation in the strong influence of scientific and philosophical thinking. These constellations, which take the form of installations, notebooks and chalkboards, among others, relocate that which has been discarded or has gone unnoticed by others, giving it a new presence and appearance.
Continuing, but at the same time turning her research around one of the most transversal themes of her work, the astronomical universe, the artist presents three new installations, with subtle mentions of the objectual world of music: a mobile construction, blackboards and a machine-like object. The first of these stands out for its scale by presenting us with a constellation of transfigured musical scores, which are invisible as such in their continuous, dynamic and innocent movement. This piece dialogues with the other two, which emphasize the tension between reinterpretation and objectual uselessness, generating an atmosphere of fragility, lightness and balance.
