Debora Kaufman
Micro-residency-Kaufman

24.06.13 28.06.13

In this micro-residence, Debora explored with Cueroflex as a material and experimented with the technique worked during the Transgraphic workshop. Through this process and the possibilities of the materials, she sought the final result of the work.
The coroflex is a material that is obtained from the agglutination of leather waste. Like the skin, the flex body extends beyond the body and is the support of the entire work. It can be treated in flat or volumetric format in the cases that the series requires.

ARTIST STATEMENT
A naked female body seeks to connect through signs, symbols or graphics and nourish itself with them as if they were the matter they need to liberate or purify themselves. Mixed techniques will be applied to the image obtained in the transfer, evaluating the process, they will be the most appropriate. You can incorporate openwork, cuts or folds, materials such as acrylic, oil pastels, inks, seams, etc. The symbols to be used are ink drawings that are repeated until they form a pattern or are diluted to suggest their presence.

The original idea is to produce several copies of the same image that can later be modified and differentiated with the intervention, making each one of them a part of the series and a work in itself. The production of these works make up a section of an installation that includes a video.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
