LEYLA CÁRDENAS. AN ECHO IN REVERSE

On Tuesday 10 November, Casa degli Artisti opens the doors of the studio of Leyla Cárdenas, a Colombian artist in residence in Milan in collaboration with Galleria Gaburro, for a moment of encounter and sharing open to the public. Among materials, notes, images and first trials born from the course of study, the public is invited to enter the work as it takes shape, learning with the artist to read the city as a sedimentary rock or as the weave of a fabric. Every era deposits its own layers, every transformation erases or covers some of them, and yet the traces remain, like an echo that can be listened to backwards. For this reason the artist defines her works as unweaving artifacts, devices that undo the weave, separate warp and weft, and allow what has been forgotten to resurface.
