Mercedes Azpilicueta
Bestiario de Lengüitas
Museion presents, as part of an international shared project, the first solo exhibition in Italy by Mercedes Azpilicueta (b. La Plata, Argentina, 1981).
In a world that demands order, efficiency and transparency, Azpilicueta’s project walks on a razor edge of chaos and excess. Bestiario de Lengüitas (Bestiary of Tonguelets), in fact, follows a script written by the artist herself for a future performance that may or may not take place. Drawings, costumes, sculptures, audio and video installations, wallpapers and a chorus of grotesque characters inhabit the exhibition space, which is presented as a stage that is ready to involve all the visitor’s senses in the experience. So, through a combination of visual and theatrical strategies and a strong element of humour, the artist invites us to call into question the ways in which we live in this world.
