Exhibition Everything that begins as comedy inevitably ends as mystery, Message Salon @ Perla Mode, Zürich. August 27 - September 24, 2008

"Everything that begins as comedy inevitably ends as mystery"

The works I am showing at message salon intend to create a situation, a sort of portal into formal jokes contaminated with psychedelic and political imaginary.

Three different yet interrelated projects conform the exhibition. Weaving and clashing different examples of culture the pieces intend to leave the public in a strange in-between moment. Each work intends to become a bridge with the other works and also a bridge between the exhibition and its context. This follows my interest in creating incomplete art works and, in a way, incomplete states.

This exhibition then is a personal response to the characteristics of Perla Mode, the works have been adapted and modified since my original plan. Besides the art world and general public I have to consider that the exhibition space is located in the red light district of Zürich. My vision of the unknown (as a mental space) and the nostalgic (as history) should clash with the reality outside the windows; and this clash should leave a distance, with a specific energy, to think about.

The title of this exhibition is the final phrase of a chapter of "Los Detectives Salvajes", a novel by Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño.
