Architectural artist Primitivo Suarez-Wolfe has an amazing piece currently on display at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Virgina, until February 20, 2011. The program was curated by David Brown and features other artists including Pae White. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend experiencing this amazing artists work in person. If you aren’t here’s a brief description…
Recurring is a site-specific new sculpture, consisting of four identical rooms arranged into a unified form. In a sense, the four parts exist under one roof or within one framework.
The rooms form the basis of the formal and conceptual strategy that underpins the sensation of spatial recurrence, almost as if the rooms were slowly animated. Each room is in a different orientation to the others and can be viewed only by walking around the entire sculpture.
Suarez-Wolfe noted, “I’m interested in an architectural reorganization to create relational associations (between the rooms) that expand upon the psychological implications of displacement and disorientation.
Through the introduction of repetitive pre-existing spatial structures and conditions, the resulting work explores the nature of (unresolved, compulsive, repetitive) memory. I am interested in eliciting or instilling a feeling of understanding memory in a more outwardly experiential way.”
