"New languages, environments, cultures, ways of socializing... I have taken my body and my head to new routines over the years, in an almost schizophrenic search for, or escape from, an identity that I cannot identify. Born and raised in Madrid, I have lived in New York, Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Shanghai, Brussels... and now in Zurich. I can't discern if I belong here or there, if I'm returning or leaving, every time I come to Madrid, or each time I return to Zurich."
In El Cuerpo de Nuestro Tiempo the artist Alicia Velázquez (Madrid, 1969) proposes to temporarily inhabit the space in which series of ritualistic works establish a dialogue with and through time. Quotidian, intimate and also unknown presences, mirrors of a foreign identity that poses questions while searching for her own.
“Nuevos idiomas, entornos, culturas, maneras de socializar… He llevado mi cuerpo y mi cabeza a nuevas rutinas a lo largo de los años, en una - casi esquizofrénica - búsqueda, o escapada, de una identidad que no consigo identificar. Nacida y crecida en Madrid, he vivido en Nueva York, Ámsterdam, Barcelona, Londres, Shanghai, Bruselas… y ahora en Zúrich. No llego a discernir si pertenezco aquí o allá, si estoy de vuelta o yéndome, cada vez que vengo a Madrid, o cada vez que regreso a Zúrich.”
En El Cuerpo de Nuestro Tiempo la artista Alicia Velázquez (Madrid, 1969) propone habitar temporalmente el espacio en el que series de trabajos ritualísticos establecen un diálogo con y a través del tiempo. Presencias cotidianas, íntimas y también desconocidas, espejos de una identidad ajena que lanza preguntas mientras se busca a sí misma.
