Attended the opening reception and vernissage for Liminal Monuments by Claudia Gutierrez & Pat Bolduc at the Embassy of México in Canadá located in the 10th floor in 45 O’Connor Street.
About the exhibition:
‘Liminal Monuments’ is a duo exhibition of woven textile and photographic works exploring Latinx identity, ancestral iconography and commemoration by Ottawa-based artist Claudia Gutierrez.
In collaboration with photographer Pat Bolduc, images of Gutierrez’s pieces exhibited alongside the objects adds a narrative quality.
The textiles are held in the arms of Latinx subjects—including Gutierrez and her sisters—obfuscated in a dream-like blur of the camera.
For Gutierrez, memories are like dreams: liminal spaces distorted by our past, present and future.
They are an unstable, shifting foundation for personal identity.
The exhibition runs until June 30, 2022.
