Exhibition “Tabula Rasa” by Lucia Hinojosa y Néstor Quiñones

     As part of its summer programme, Chalton Gallery  presents “Tábula Rasa”, a result of the artistic work of Lucia Hinojosa and Nestor Quiñones. The exhibition is supported by The Arts Council England and the Embassy Mexico in the United Kingdom.

     These two talented Mexican artists from different generations and practices have worked together in a series of processes that explore the concept and the object of “The Table”, from where multidimensional perceptions of meaning and action emanate.

     The Table, object and accomplice of ideological and social behaviors, is explored through the epistemological idea of the phrase Tabula Rasa; the title of the show.  The table is perceived as a silent space that witnesses the transformation of ritual conduct through time. The project integrates social and systemic contemporary paradigms along the event of the rite, and the complicity of the table among these.

 
     Lucía Hinojosa is a writer and visual artist working with video, text, sound, and performance. In 2013, she co-founded a bilingual editorial project, diSONARE. She received a BFA in Visual & Critical Studies at the School of Visual Arts, and is currently studying at SOMA in Mexico City.

     Nestor Quiñones is a multidisciplinary artist who since the late eighties has maintained a critical view regarding the art world's established conventions and formulas. Through social and political manifestos, Quiñones has created projects which involve not only artistic processes, but permanent concerns for cultural policies in Mexico. Quiñones co-founded La Quiñonera in 1988, an emblematic space dedicated to the development of experimental projects and exhibitions.

 

      “Tábula Rasa” arrives to Chalton Gallery under the curatorial efforts of Sofía Casarín (1988), an independent curator, art historian and editor of diSONARE. She holds an MA in Arts and Politics from Goldsmiths University of London, and a double BA in Art History and International Relations from Florida International University.
