Norberto Miranda

Espacio Morelos presents Trash Smith by Norberto Miranda.

The feverish plastic-paleolithic production of Norberto Miranda is directed to many places, it moves like a divergent thought that for years has classified its irreverent study materials into folders, while at the same time having several open investigations, which it does not conclude but rather incorporates into a disordered, persistent and multidimensional continuum.

Many of his pieces are produced by means of memorable materials that go unnoticed before our noses, they can be tremendously polluting, work with heat or work from a horde of punitive, politically incorrect, sonorous references, displayed in meters of strips and strips of chaotic thermal paper tickets.

I want to think that this exhibition manages to be a storehouse of Norberto Miranda's thought and aesthetics and that it heads sticky, shiny and polished towards a post-industrial narrative that recycles waste by swallowing it again and again.

Thus, Trash Smith unfolds in three interesting episodes that include a curtain of printed strips, a room of paintings-gum-paintings that reminded me a lot of the work of Joan Miró and finally the adolescent space of an alter ego, a music lover, a punk who takes control of a blue studio room.
