During this years sommerbreak of Les Complices* Paloma Ayala will show her installation Lost in a snowstorm we are friends.
Come by and celebrate the opening and the upcoming hot days with us, some homemade tamales and cool drinks! See you there! Love Paloma, Gökçe, the janitoress, Les Complices*
Paloma Ayala elaborates upon a story about an extraordinary summer rest, a partly fictitious stop that interrupted the dynamics of a post-industrial city in 1967. But within this story, many more lie. This specific piece is a reflection about artistic-hood: how do artists create relationships between fictional and non-fictional narratives, historical and domestic events, find and use of materials, to render a story, however fictitious or real, relevant to the now?
The window display is accompanied by the text Lost in the storm we are friends (an American painting), a fictional conversation that sets off the beginning of a series of artworks about moments and monuments of exchange between narratives.
The installation in the Sommerfenster will be shown from the 5th of July to the 5th of August this year.
