Felipe Mujica: One Day This Will All Be Yours
Felipe Mujica solo exhibition at Open Source Gallery will open on April 14, 2012
April 14th – 30th
The curtain “One Day This Will All Be Yours” was inaugurated on November 30th, 2011 and will be on view until April 2012 unless otherwise announced during certain exhibitions.
One Day This Will All Be Yours is a winter curtain. A fabric installation specially conceived for Open Source Gallery. It’s main objective will be to serve as a heat insulator during the cold months of winter and also as a visual and conceptual background for other projects to be produced and displayed in the exhibition space during the winter of 2011-2012.
The piece is part of a series of works made out of fabric-panels that hang dividing and organizing space. Part of a larger and ongoing project these panels must be considered as a flexible and adaptable idea, one that materializes differently depending on the context in which it is set. The project focuses on the notion of temporary architecture as a critical and fragile fabrication of space. The situations Felipe Mujica create aim to catalyze encounters, moments of collaboration: between people, people and space, people and art objects and finally between people and systems of communication. The title of this exhibition is taken from a song by the English band The Wedding Present and it has been used by Felipe Mujica in two previous projects, as the title solo exhibition in Chile and as a title of a piece in a group show in New York. The repetition of the same title is intended to create a unifying element for three different projects, which represent the three main bodies of work developed by the artist (wall-curtains, silkscreen prints and ephemeral sculpture).
Felipe Mujica (born in Santiago, Chile in 1974) studied art at the Universidad Católica de Chile. Just out of art school, in 1997, he co-founds with Diego Fernández and José Luis Villablanca the artist run space Galería Chilena (GCH), which operated between 1999 and 2005, first a nomadic and commercial art gallery and later as a collaborative art project, a curatorial “experiment”. In early 2000 Mujica moved to New York City where he currently lives and works. He has exhibited in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America, having solo shows at Die Ecke Arte Contemporáneo, Santiago; The Shop – Vitamin Creative Space, Beijing; Message Salon -Perla Mode, Zürich; Centro Cultural Matucana 100, Santiago and Galerie Christian Nagel, Cologne. Recent group shows include “Critical Complicity”, Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna; “The Nature of Things – Biennial of the Americas”, Denver; “Third Guangzhou Triennial”, Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangzhou and “Linea de Hormigas”, at A Gentil Carioca, Rio de Janeiro.
