Ahora en el entre Exhibition

In this exhibition, Julia Aurora Guzmán (Santo Domingo, 1993) explores the idea of origin, thresholds and the silence that accompanies the transitory moments between cycles. Using local materials such as coconut mesh and the adenanthera pavonina seed (coralito), and combining them with her own craft techniques that she has developed over a period of nine years of work, the artist presents a series of sculptures and site-specific installations that contemplate and honour the architecture of the Colegio de Gorjón located at the mouth of the Ozama River, now the Centro Cultural de España in Santo Domingo.

With this return to his own origin, Guzmán invites us to consider ‘the in-between’ as a potential place of introspection and discovery. From an anthropocosmic perspective, Ahora en el entre  [Now Inbetween] highlights the interconnection between the human and its environment, between the material plane and the spiritual dimension. The exhibition presents the point of origin as a great navel of the universe that is both empty and containing; a space-time centred between vertical and horizontal axes that point to the present moment as the eternal meeting of the beginning and the end.
