\n“Uonderland”: Raquel Paiewonsky
\n25 June-6 August 2016<\/h2>\n

“Uonderland” by Raquel\u00a0Paiewonsky features new work exploring landscape, architecture and social metaphor.\u00a0In 2015, Paiewonsky was artist-in-residence at\u00a0K\u00fcnstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, supported by The Davidoff Art Initiative. Inspired by\u00a0her time in Germany\u2019s capital and cultural center, this vibrant series made its debut at\u00a0VOLTA New York 2016 during Armory Arts Week in March.<\/p>\n

Raquel Paiewonsky (b. 1969, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic) works across a range\u00a0of media, including painting, sculpture, installation and photography. She has presented\u00a0at 15 solo exhibitions in the Dominican Republic and the United States, as well as\u00a0group shows in the United States, France, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Cuba,\u00a0Ecuador, among others. Paiewonsky has also presented work at the 53rd and 55th\u00a0Venice Biennale in the Latin American Pavilion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe predominantly feminine social body in Raquel Paiewonsky\u2019s work addresses\u00a0issues of gender politics, couple relationships, sexuality, maternity, ecology and other\u00a0issues of a general nature, but it also alludes to hot-button issues in the Dominican\u00a0context, such as prostitution,\u201d notes Gerardo Mosquera, Chief Curator of the San Juan\u00a0Poly\/Graphic Triennial. \u201cThe artist uses the body as a kind of tropological platform from\u00a0which to illuminate these issues in their own complexity and in the imaginal complexity\u00a0of art, without falling into the prevailing literalness of socially critical art in her country.\u00a0We are mistaken if we think that her artworks are about the body or sexuality. They are\u00a0so only indirectly, because here the body is above all else a critical resource that drives\u00a0the artist\u2019s expression with great power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although seldom conveying violence explicitly, Paiewonsky\u2019s work is very much\u00a0concerned with the veiled but insidious violence that permeates the personal, social\u00a0and political systems in which we live. \u201cI am particularly interested in object\/subject\u00a0interventions, often utilizing fabric or collage as a means of taking over a particular\u00a0space, body or artifact,\u201d she stresses. \u201cIn recent years, my work explores the\u00a0relationship between our essence and our surroundings, the impact of stereotypes and\u00a0cultural constructions, always taking as a reference our instinctual selves and the ways\u00a0in which the primal component of our nature is affected by the new and ever changing\u00a0contexts of contemporary life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The opening reception for “Uonderland” is Saturday, 25 June, 6-9PM<\/p>\n
