Angie Saiz

Futuro entes

Chilean artist Angie Saiz proposes a configuration, based on the symbolic landscape of Vouzela, of a collection of audiovisual poems that dialogue with the current fragile state of normality, one that is disposable, unstable and vulnerable. Through cartography, documentation and artistic production, the artist residency is understood as an urgent space for creation, an opportunity to resume suspended practices and a possibility to meet other people. The project plays on the concept of ecotone – from the Greek eco- (oikos or house) and tone, (tonality or tension): natural transition zone between two different ecosystems or ecological boundaries–using this notion from biology displaced to geographical, archaeological, historical and natural contexts, as sources for the construction of personal and collective memory-forget fulness.

Angie Saiz (n. Santiago, Chile 1977) is a visual artist with production in painting, photography, public actions, video installation and sound art. Her work develops aesthetic issues from the biographical imaginary, the intersection and crisis between old-new technologies and the concepts of time, limbo and ruin. She exhibited at important spaces in Chile, such as the MAC Museum of Contemporary Art, the MAVI Museum of Visual Arts and the Metropolitan Gallery. She also held artist residencies, exhibitions and curatorships in Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and the United States. In addition, she is a visual arts publisher and producer. She currently lives and works carrying out exhibition and curatorial projects, both in Chile and abroad.
