Lagos presents

PAPI (CDMX) + UV (Buenos Aires) + Fair Entrepreneur

Artists: MSHR, Lolo & Lauti, Julián Sorter, Emilio Bianchic, Yiyo Tirado Rivera, Chemi Rosado Seijo + Irma Sofía Poeter

Opening, performance

Lagos is pleased to invite you to the first exhibition in collaboration with PAPI (CDMX Independent Public Art Program), UV (Buenos Aires) and FE Fair Entrepreneur. PAPI invites the first residents of Lagos, MSHR (Birch Cooper, Brenna Murphy - Portland, USA), to create a sculptural installation, in continuation of their previous work, for the first time presented in Mexico. The piece combines analog circuit systems with sculpture, and the performance provokes an immersive experience in which movement affects light and sound. UV Estudios (Buenos Aires) presents a performance by Julián Sorter (AR), a video installation by the Argentine duo Lolo y Lauti and a video by the Uruguayan Emilio Bianchic. Puerto Rican artists Yiyo Tirado Rivera and Chemi Rosado Seijo will present recent work, a fan that also kills mosquitoes and a video that, from a skateboard point of view, maps the neighborhoods of Havana. The Mexican artist Irma Sofía Poeter will open the doors of her studio, on the occasion of her participation in Salón ACME.

MSHR does digital sculpting, analog circuitry, and live cybernetics.

Us

UV is a gallery in Buenos Aires in constant construction and definition. A project of work, research and exhibition in coexistence. His research focuses on how the visual is a consequence of behavior, performance before and after the object.

PAPI (n. 2017) is an independent public art program in Mexico City that aims to facilitate specific site conditions for the production of exhibitions, promoting a critical approach to public space.

MSHR is an artist duo from Portland, Oregon, made up of Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper. His work mixes digital sculpture, analog circuitry, and ceremonial performances. They build and activate cybernetic compositions with synthesizers of their own design. For their exhibitions, they install framework arrangements of these sculptural instruments to create immersive landscapes of light and sound. In their performances, they activate those systems through a series of unique interfaces.

Lolo and Lauti (Buenos Aires, 1980 and 1986) are a duo formed in 2011. They do performance, video, photo, installation and theater. His work investigates communication, adaptation and everyday behavior. His works include directing the opera Perfect Lives (Teatro Colón, 2016), Carousel (Faena Arts Center, 2014) and El Corps Del Delito (UV, 2017).

Emilio Bianchic (Montevideo, 1990) works with video, performance and false nails. His work examines the generation of identities and their production and ineffectiveness in the real and virtual world. Among his outstanding exhibitions are FNORNRNO (Miami, Bogotá, 2017), Nailture (Postmasters Gallery, New York, 2015), 89 Plus America (Museo Jumex, México, 2014) Serpentine Gallery Marathon (Serpentine Gallery, London, 2013). He is part of the Basic TV collective.

Julián Sorter (Argentina, 1991). He works with performance, painting and objects and since 2016 manages chiquita, an art space in a cardboard box. The axis of his work is the desire and the impossibility of being something else. His main individual exhibitions are Me llamo Julián (UV, 2017), El Pelo (Performance at Café Müller, 2016) and Cara rota (Militants, 2015). In 2017 he was selected as an agent of the Center for Artistic Research. In 2016, his performance Ojitis won a Golden Bottle at the International Biennial of Parallel Thought.

Yiyo Tirado Rivera (San Juan, PR, 1990). Interdisciplinary artist and co-founder of the contemporary art space Km 0.2 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. The narrative of his work unfolds in the dichotomies of economic and tourist development in his country.

Chemi Rosado-Seijo (Vega Alta, PR, 1973) his work reflects his main interests in socially committed art, collaborations that juxtapose architecture with the urban landscape, art with social action and art with its history. He is currently exploring the parallels between skateboarding and contemporary art, an investigation that evokes techniques of abstract expressionism and documentary video.

FE I Fair Entrepreneur is a fair trade initiative for art that seeks the common good. In a commercial exchange platform, supported by the emotional and affective encounter of people with the work of art, it assembles the individual perception, the uniqueness of the pieces in the space, with the information of their artistic and market valuation.
