Ximena Garrido-Lecca: Demarcaciones Inversas: Meridiano, Puerto Escondido, Mexico

-
Meridiano announces an exhibition of new work by Lima-born, Mexico City-based artist Ximena Garrido-Lecca (b. 1980). In Demarcaciones Inversas (Reverse Demarcations), Garrido-Lecca explores the contrast between ancestral practices, such as weaving, and the forces of modern industrialization.
Each of Garrido-Lecca’s projects begins with intensive research into historical events and cultural narratives central to the identity of her native Peru. In this exhibition, she uses copper—an exploited material and one of Peru’s most valuable economic assets—to create a metaphor for the re-appropriation of national resources that addresses the tension between modernization and the preservation of cultural memory. In the gallery’s courtyard, Garrido-Lecca presents a freestanding cast-copper sculpture from her Transmutaciones series (2018–ongoing), inspired by the wooden structures that migrants have used to mark land on the outskirts of Lima since the 1950s. Inside, new wall-based works from the artist's Aleaciones con memoria de forma (Shape Memory Alloys) series (2013–ongoing) are realized from industrialized copper, transformed by Garrido-Lecca into artisanal handwoven textiles.
This exhibition is the fourth in Meridiano’s program, following installations by Joel Shapiro, Gabriel Chaile, and Kimsooja. -
