Special Project
Participating artists:
Ángela Jiménez Durán & Felipe Romero Beltrán
June 5 - 9, 2024
8 Pass. des Gravilliers, Paris, 75003
From June 5 until June 9, 2024, HATCH brings together the artists Ángela Jiménez Durán (b. 1996, Madrid, Spain) and Felipe Romero Beltrán (b. 1992, Bogota, Colombia) for a special project at Galerie Sator's space in the Marais. Jiménez Durán dialogues a site-specific intervention from her ‘Poems of Inner Water’ series with Romero Beltrán's video ‘El Cruce’, winner of the CPGA - Emerige prize at ARCO Madrid 2024.
This presentation is accompanied by a series of private visits, book signings and poetry readings on Saturday June 8, from 10 am to 6.30 pm.
Through a complex language ranging from drawing to writing to video, the two artists form an active alliance with the material of water to render account of hidden narratives and images. By transporting the viewer into the invisible flows of water, a reflection arises on the unpredictable nature of states of transition, in both the physical and mental bodies. The ‘Poem of Inner Water’ series describes watery mythologies, telling poetic stories about water in its sinuous forms, while the video entitled ‘El Cruce’ (“The Crossing”) questions the singular way in which water crosses the world and therefore peoples.
Programme Saturday June 8 :
3pm until 4pm: Artist tour with both invited artists and goodies.
4pm until 5pm: Book Signing of Dialect published by Loosejoints with Felipe Romero Beltrán.
5pm until 6pm: Discussion with the independent curator Margaux Knight around the site-specific intervention by Ángela Jiménez Durán.
