¿VAMOS AL PARQUE?

RODOLFO DÍAZ CERVANTES>

Rodolfo’s work serves to a concern for the process and significance of the materials, as well as a formal rigor that results from the influence of architecture. The variants, the order and the meaning of different objects, such as the construction, the superposition y the appropriation are recurrent themes in his practices. Working in different medias, such as, sculpture, drawing and photography.
Rodolfo is characterized for attending certain formal rigor of the matter; that is to say, that the intention that he implies in each object is in perfect relationship with the composition of it. His work has been presented at the Venice Biennale, la Casa de Lago in Mexico City and at the Art Museum of Sinaloa.
¿Vamos al parque? Is about the exploration and the investigation of the artists, Rodolfo Díaz Cervantes. "I decided that we were going to recreate this playground inside the gallery, which gives me the intention and the sensation of modifying of the space; what you are used to see outside, is now inside, like introducing the external.I found it very interesting in a spatial level and in provocative perception. It seems very nice to understand the elements, like sculpture, which is, at the end, what the gallery is about- not because you present something in a gallery means it's, but is like the White sheet that receives you and says “whatever you put here is going to be perceived with a certain intention”.
Like the famous perception of the shoe box: take it out of the context where it is and it will be a just a shoe box, but introduce it into the actual context and what it is showing you is not the box, but a sense of sculpt it and of giving it another space meaning, removing the solemnity that a gallery can have. That’s basically what this expo is about:¿Vamos al parque? I wanted to make it a question, because, for example, if I hold my daughter’s hand and tell her: Shall we go to the park? It’s clearly a kind question, illusory; I like the phrase because it depends on where you say it and the context: it can be a little kinky and also a little dark, you know? That is for me what makes it interesting, playing with that part of the tittle.
These art pieces will be ludic and didactic. People will be able to interact with them.
