Descripción de la Exposición

For If I Can't Dance's Edition VI - Event and Duration (2015-2016), Leonor Antunes has been commissioned to produce a new sculptural-installation, in which she considers the latent performativity of her practice together with the effects of time and space on materials. Leonor Antunes understands her work as the hybridization of vernacular techniques and the cultural legacy of modernism. This can be seen in Antunes selection of materials and their treatment, which are often drawn from craft and handwork traditions, and her reference to the legacy of modernism and its specific geometrical patterns, as well as forms and structures developed by architects and designers of the early twentieth century. Mathematics, measures, scales and the beauty of certain proportions fuel her practice. Her works also enter into a dialogue with the spaces that they occupy, be it through the way they echo the architecture surrounding them, or by her use of its proportions as tools to develop each new installation.
