Maria Abaddon
(b. 1988)
Its roots clean the water
2016
Beings composed of bones and withered plants, their presence in staged scenes evoking inert stability. The artist assembles torn human bodys, worked into being with fabric, wax and thread.
Concurrently, Abaddon explores the institution as a subject of artwork, in a project called Escuela Libre de Arte (ELA), that is an exquisite corpse, a creative collection.
2017
Proyecto AMIL is pleased to announce that Esther Kläs will be the 2017 artist-in-residence in Lima.
Her three month residency will begin at the end of January when she makes an exploratory trip to the Peruvian jungle accompanied by writer, curator and friend, Philip Larratt-Smith. Their experiences together will be the subject of a publication to be released in the second half of the year.
Kläs has developed a distinct visual language, combining post-war abstraction and minimalism with a physical sense of the body and its subjectivity.
