Dvir Gallery is delighted to present ‘Shadows and cervical hinges’, the first solo show of Armando Andrade Tudela with the gallery.
For this exhibition, Andrade Tudela has created three new series of textiles entitled ‘Shadows and Cervical hinges’, ‘Ulna’ and ‘Untitled (T.A)’, all produced using an extremely reduced number of visual signs that are modified during the production process.
Index of signs:
Hinges, necks and a double profile, smiling emoji ball and chain, a distorted scan of a batik-dyed sock, the shadow of another neck, a quote from Chichimecatecuhtli — an indigenous Mexican that while being interrogated by the Spanish Inquisition during the 16th century, said: ‘Who are these who undo us, and disturb us, and live over us, and we carry them on our shoulders and they subjugate us?’
The textiles are first printed, then cut, assembled, then reprinted, and in some cases reassembled again until they produce a text of sorts that is indivisible from its structural composition. Alongside the canvases, Andrade Tudela has produced a new series of photograms titled ‘Serflex Type’, where plastic handcuffs are used to produce grids, crosses and curves creating a form of ‘typography of violence’. These, as well as new works on paper, function as the punctuation marks of the exhibition.
With the support of Ensba Lyon. The artist will like to thank Sarah Breassier, Laura Ouakil, Vincent Guiomar, Guillaume Seyller, Julie Kieffer, Constance Burger-Leenhardt, and Denis Lecoq.
