On the occasion of the Zurich galleries’ season opening, Häusler Contemoprary Zürich traces the call of Latin American art that figures among the international art scene’s major discoveries of the past few years. By combining gallery artist Alejandra Seeber with guest artists Jose Dávila, Francisco Sierra and Bosco Sodi vwe show four independent and innovative positions who unite opposed concepts in their works and who all account for the 20th century’s art history.
Starting from Alejandra Seeber (*1968, Buenos Aires, AR, lives in New York, US) who has been with our gallery for many years now, our show unifies four artists with Latin American origins, thus providing a sample of the variety that expects us from that direction. Seeber’s expressive and dynamic paintings enter into dialogue with pictures by Francisco Sierra (*1977, Santiago de Chile, lives in Cotterd, CH) that tend to fantastic hyperrealism. These two painterly positions meet with the interplay of forces of Jose Dávila’s (*1974, Guadalajara, MX, lives in Guadalajara) minimal sculptures and works on paper and with the process-orientated picture objects by Bosco Sodi (*1970, Mexiko City, MX, lives a.o. in New York, US). All four artists show individual approaches, but they all examine in their particular way »tilting moments« between different categories and concepts.
