ALDO ALEJANDRA GONZÁLEZ AND SOCA Baroffio
Curator: Alfredo Torres
" When Baroffio Aldo Alejandra Gonzalez and decided to address this work on the figure of José Artigas , choose a word that will be key for all possible readings of the proposal: Fiction fiction comes from the Latin ...... fictio-onis, and refers to the action and effect of faking. It also means invention, whether it is undertaken with good or not so good. (...)" The purpose was to guide the work addressed the manner in which the heroes are often seen. Models, paradigms, ideals, figures that serve many different purposes and faces showing polymorphs. It was necessary to start from elementary lines. The deconstruction of the figures, monuments as possible to reconfigure and reinterpret the image of a hero from their molds of sculptures. Artigas (...) Not the huge sculpture inaccessible pedestal. Most important: no bronze or marble. Materials has dropped solemn and overwhelmingly cool. He is a hero coined in the rough simplicity of mud, in the fragility of the plaster. He is a hero just visible behind the veil of weakness, blurred by the choir who have sought cumulative perverse appropriation or lyric banal or kind, always insufficient. A hero brittle, rough and fragmentary poetics of absence that can only be filled from the emotional complicity. A hero is needed garrison from their desolate, hot, the simplest of pieces. "
