BIO - Alejandra Mizrahi
Alejandra Mizrahi was born in Tucumán in 1981. She uses techniques ranging from crochet, macramé, felting, trimmings, embroidery, lace, knitting, weaving, fabrics dyed with natural dyes, and sewing.
Her work revolves around the construction structures of textiles and the instructional manuals for these techniques. From these two axes, she creates sculptures that emphasize the artisanal and three-dimensional nature of textiles, challenging their gravity by substituting the soft structure of threads and fabrics.
She holds a degree in Arts from the National University of Tucumán, a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and she teaches in the Fashion and Textile Design program at FAU, UNT. Since 2012, she has been working with the Randeras community in El Cercado. Her work is part of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, Palais de Glace, and private collections.
EXHIBITION AURA
AURA develops narratives that we believe in, from color, shape, frequency, and the spiritual and intangible. The way we live, what we wear, and who we are in every choice.
When we think about creation and manifestation, Hilma af Klint is our reference. A radical painter and precursor of abstract and spiritualist painting, she created her first abstract paintings in 1906, before Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich. According to her wishes, her work would only be exhibited twenty years after her death, in line with her conviction that the world was not ready to comprehend her art.
Musicality is in our nature and movement defines us, it is part of who we are. Music has always been and will always be present in providing that connection to the deepest part of this collective network and in a kind of synesthetic metaphor that we create with movement, color. If any animal symbolizes this collection, it is the hummingbird. Its plumage reflecting the sun, wings fluttering so fast that they hum at a universal frequency, the hummingbird is sacred in many cultures. It is a messenger of the gods, of men and of the afterlife
“...THE SELECTION OF ARTISTS AND THEIR INTERVENTIONS REFLECTS THE COGNITIVE RESOURCES
OF A UNIVERSAL HERITAGE, AWAKENING IN THE CHALLENGE AND IN THEIR PERSONAL
AND COLLECTIVE RESEARCH THE SHARED DREAM AND ONE OF OUR MOST
IMPORTANT CONSTRUCTIVE VERTICALS AT EYDDOS...”
