International Center of Photography- Bard is pleased to present its second group exhibition with Spanish – New York based mixed media artist Ivana Larrosa at two different locations in New York this weekend.
For
these exhibition MFA candidate will present for the first time her new work of
textiles, chemigrams, photo-paintings and embellished photographs of her series
“Engrams”.
The
exhibition, which is on view at the ICP-Bard MFA U02 booth at the Printed
Matter 10th Annual New York Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1, includes
five embellished textiles that she made this summer in collaboration with sculptor
and textile artist Elyse Allen, as well as two embellished photographs. The show continues
two blocks north at ICP-Bard 2016 MFA 2nd Open Studios at our 24-20
Jackson Ave, Long Island City space, with the debut of Ivana Larrosa’s video performance
pieces, created this summer at Haystack Art Residency in Maine, and her family
archive series.
The new body of work features Larrosa’s expanding
exploration into the car accident that left her with permanent double vision
since 2002. Rooted in this accident, Larrosa
has developed an aesthetic that has turned into a celebration, exuberant,
playful, as well as eccentric and goofy. Identity emerges
to reveal the impossibility of representing trauma inherent in Larrosa’s work. Through her reenactments and
performances, Larrosa investigates the visual representation of peak experiences
and memory as an act of psychological health and an attribute of the
self-actualizing person.
Ivana Larrosa
uses the scan as a medium of connections between present-past and gender
identity, like a reenactment of brain imaging technique. As she describes “the
scanned distortions are like engrams,
like physical memory trace stored in my brain that helped me to catalyze my
feelings about my female role in my family.”
Ivana Larrosa
embellishes, paints, creates psychedelic rolls and scanned distortions with her
family photo archive. Each method is specific to the subject and meant to
ignite and recharge the image, often that following the pattern of her
diplopia. She blends colors to create new palettes that activate and
give depth and breathe life into her imagery.
