On August 21st, we opened the ´ace studio to share the processes of our artists in residency.
Charlie Hanson (USA) shared pieces from Chaotic Tranquility, a series of prints inspired by his time in Buenos Aires. Each work, comprised of 70 individual images, represents the chaotic state of his mind when he travels; the excitement of taking it all in and the anxieties that come with it. The colour palette of each work is representative of the wide variety of emotions Charlie felt during his stay in Buenos Aires.
Rapainú (Argentina), artist in residence thanks to the Semillero 2024 grants (in collaboration with the Williams Foundation), presented his graphic pieces as part of the work New Doors to Understanding Smallness, which he has been making using multifocal images of therapeutic plants obtained with an electron microscope.
Irene Chan (USA), meanwhile, opened the first instance of a new project she called The Secret Pockets of Women: the mother of L. During her time in the ´ace studio, and in Buenos Aires, Irene walked, remembered and documented visual forms, and discovered the local folk tale of the seventh son becoming a werewolf, which persists to this day. Intrigued, she decided to portray this story from a woman’s perspective through personal objects and small books. This project, first launched in Buenos Aires, is the first in a series of secret pockets of women from around the world.
