Solo exhibition by American artist Donna Huanca is a multisensory project that includes painting, sculpture, video, sound and scent. The works in the exhibition come from the Peres Projects Gallery in Berlin and the Zuzāns Collection.
In the exhibition Donna Huanca creates a versatile and dynamic space in which the visitor becomes an integral part of the installation, as their own movements interact with the reflective sculptures, in turn responding to the paintings. The artist builds a new and experimental scenery with each of her installations, always hinting at previous bodies of work and still, crafted with attention for its singular context and architecture. Canvases are enlivened by fragments of paint, latex, and other artificial yet skin-like materials, entering in an intimate dialogue with the surrounding organic components, overlaid with a dense, gestural layering of paint reminiscent of ritual and ceremonial practices.
Donna Huanca (b. 1980 in Chicago, US) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the human body and the natural world, through mark making, raw materials, immersive environments, and singular topographies. Encompassing painting, sculpture and live performance, as well as sound and scent works, Huanca’s installations are specially created for and intricately woven into the specific architectural spaces in which they are presented.
