Asimetrical from "Materials Lab" 2015

Curator: Fernanda Fragateiro’s "Asimetrical from 'Materials Lab'" presents us with a boxed assemblage of found images, color fields, and collected paper. Editor: It feels like a fragmented archive. The red square shouts for attention, while the stacks of paper seem like silent witnesses. Curator: The piece engages with Charlotte Posenenske’s modular structures; Fragateiro recontextualizes minimalist aesthetics through a decidedly feminist lens. Editor: I am intrigued by the date "July 1, 1977" inscribed, it must be a symbolic marker. Could it be the date of an important event, a birth perhaps? Curator: Indeed, the work invites reflections on authorship, legacy, and how we construct meaning from fragments, it brings a new point of view when inserted in history. Editor: Seeing these elements together makes me think of how individual memories coalesce into a collective cultural consciousness. Curator: The work certainly asks us to consider the political implications of form. Editor: Precisely, It makes it more than just a collection of materials; it's a conversation across time and disciplines.
