Starting this Wednesday, August 23, Jorge Satorre participates in the group show "En los caminos de Guanajuato. Arte moderno y contemporáneo del Bajío", curated by Daniel Garza Usabiaga at the MAHG.
Satorre presents, among other works, "Formal Encounter in the Garden" (2016), commissioned for an exhibition at Casa Barragán.
“I wanted to pay attention to areas that had a peripheral or secondary value in the house, trying to avoid referring directly to Barragán. That’s how I ended up in the multifaceted cartoonist Miguel Covarrubias’s archive that is housed there. I selected a chapter in his archive devoted to sketches of hands and feet. From those images I produced a series of objects in fired-clay that ranged from faithful three-dimensional copies to some that presented functionality gestures such as vases and pots. Once these sketches were exhausted, I also pulled out details of books illustrated by Covarrubias in the house’s library.” –Jorge Satorre
