Double Words from "Materials Lab" 2015

Editor: Fernanda Fragateiro’s *Double Words from “Materials Lab”* presents a curious collection. The boxy composition feels almost like a puzzle. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The repeated forms, the cubes, strike me as containers of meaning. The red echoes across the work, a visual rhyme linking different elements. Red often signals warning or importance, but what is Fragateiro highlighting here? Consider the box itself – a repository of memory. Editor: So, it’s less about the individual objects and more about how they relate and what they might symbolize together? Curator: Precisely. The symbolism lies in the arrangement, inviting us to decode the relationships between image, object, and text. What stories do these "materials" tell? Editor: I see now. The arrangement creates a visual language. Curator: Yes, and that language is both personal to the artist and open to our interpretations.
