2014 - Painting (Painting)

Juan Araujo

year born: 1971
gender: male
nationality: Spanish
home town: Caracas, Venezuela

Juan Araujo’s works often begin with photographs he takes of a physical site. By reproducing fragments from urban images, facades and different architectures, he makes visible a tension between the desire to represent and the visual stereotypes. Araujo’s most recent paintings examine Venezuelan and Brazilian modernist architecture and the latter’s complex relationship to certain ideologies and belief systems that deeply marked Latin America’s cultural development in the mid-twentieth century.

100 Notes - 100 Thoughts

Presentation of dOCUMENTA (13) Notebook series « 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts » « What kind of writing is a note? What kind of discourse can emerge between chance and disparity? What picture of knowledge constructs a note, what does it say about intelligence? Can this relatively undifferentiated matter—notes—introduce new connections, renew difficulty and possibility for art, for theory? Can a note, the embodiment of „a life« —the life behind the hand that wrote it—invent a form of consciousness that is prior and irreducible to the person, to the subject taking those notes? » With Alejandro Jodorowsky, Chus Martinez & Raimundas Malasauskas Chus Martínez is Head of Department, and Member of Core Agent Group of dOCUMENTA(13), as well as Associate Curator at MACBA (Barcelona)...
