Adriana Beach | Artist In Residency

KOIK contemporary presents Caos simbiótico “You can touch a city but a city can’t hold you” by the artist in residence, Adriana Beach.

You can learn a lot about a city, its rhythms, its history and its contradictions when we walk through it. Adriana Beach is linked to the city through everyday portraits, materials related to the industry, and signs that show its effects within the social, architectural, and economic infrastructure that cross the sensibility and life of a complex and chaotic city. How to recontextualize the experience of a space that insists on expelling at the same time that it welcomes? The artist explores places of transparency where materials and spaces show their contradictions, which allows opening the gaze and the experience of the body to other material stories that connect with the life of a place and with the ways in which those who inhabit it these spaces endow them with their own meanings.
