Work of NICOLAS GARCIA URIBURU presented curator by Rolando Joshua Carmona Born in Buenos Aires in 1937, Nicolás García Uriburu participated in the international neo avant-garde movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s as a pioneer of land art and ecological art. On June 19th 1968, he dyed the waters of Venice’s Grand Canal green with a fluorescent dye called Fluorescein. The action, created with occasion of the 34th Venice Biennale but not as part of its official program, aimed to bring attention to the relationship between nature and civilization and to promote ecological consciousness as a critical part of culture. Fluorescein is a manufactured organic dye developed by NASA for scientific purposes and is ecologically harmless. Garcia Uriburu’s action transformed the landscape of the Italian city for the course of the day, with its waters fluorescent green until the low tide made the dye gradually disappear. Besides recording the event with film and photography, the artist kept a group of bottles of the colored water as a testament to his artistic intervention.

OLIVIA McGILCHIRST Thank you Anna for posing for this image, inspired by Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things are" (1963) These single images are inspired by the fantastical elements within ordinary life found in children’s tales old and new. Within these intricate settings, a lone figure hovers in a frame rich with suggestion and mystery. The confined surroundings are an ambiguous stage in which the isolated characters are a visual trigger for a plethora of possible stories. OLIVIA McGILCHIRST From the series 'Arrested Reality': photographic tableaux, c-type prints, dimensions variable (2009).

AL-OTHMAN created
an intervention in an old city in AL-Ula to instill a renewed
notion of its remarkable architectural style. Al-Othman covered
the entire building with tin foil in a symbolic gesture to its
frozen state, making a statement about the absurdity of thinking
that the cycle of change could ever be stopped. As the old saying
goes, change is the only constant thing in life.
