Decoration is considered a womens stuff and geometry was historically governed by men. Queer Deco is a visual confrontation that tries to brake with those parameters of identity, based in queer theories and feminist critic about sex and architecture. I am interested in the immediate, visceral response to images that precedes the rational analysis of visual arthistorical strategies or references.

ADRIANA MINOLITI Centerpiece is a project sponsored by FONCA Mexico. It is about making craftwork according to new particular histories from women, instead of honoring old imposed traditions, e.g. Christmas. I took the concept of centerpiece as a decorative element that charges with a traditional symbolic order. I use a domestic mechanism in order to rethink new symbolism. This project takes different formats: objects and performances. I made the objects using daily things like bowls, fake fruit, toys or crochet. The performance is an invitation to other users to create their own centerpieces with painting and collage, creating an event like a free class.

STATEMENT

ADRIANA MINOLITI

Mannequins, 2011. Detail

My practice is the result of my interest in the eroticism and geometry manifested through painting, design and installation. My recent work has largely referenced the human body and gender conditions; abstract and geometrical representations of bodies are made with diverse materials such as paint, sand, plaster, wood, fake fruits and shampoo, and more traditional oil paints. A more inclusive vision of sexuality can change and improve the way we live. This has been made apparent through the contributions of Feminists and Queer theoreticians. This is also a space where I locate dialogues that are informative for my work. I play with gender pictorially, mixing spiritual values, historical appreciations, esthetics and styles. I am interested in the anthropological importance of decoration as a process and in its application in objects, and I play with this by challenging xed ideas and unconscious meaning. How does the mind sense the materialities and shapes of things? Why do we make decisions in one way and not in another? Is there a place where these dualisms are simultaneously possible? I convert everyday materials into something new, as in Manzanas [Apples] where geometric forms adorn fake plastic fruits. My work as a painter engages a diversity of formats and media, from easel painting and installation, to the organization of cultural projects and results of the relationships between artists. I have participated actively with artist collectives like as Kiosko De Artistas, and in projects of colleagues, clinical workshops and research meetings. I co-founded PintorAs [Female Painters], a project that includes 20 women artists from Argentina. As a curator, I organized the exhibitions Rework and Figuras [Figures], as a way to collectively investigate answers to questions of deep personal interest. Adriana Minoliti
