Xolo Cuintle
In a post-apocalyptic setting, a layer of dust petrifies everything in an eternal state of latency. Thick as it is, a rocking chair becomes imponent and can no longer rock. The growth of vegetation has been hampered by concrete and could be mistaken for rocks. Against this concrete backdrop, two greyhounds are sound asleep. The buildup of dust absorbs Xolo and Cuintle , overlapping bodies too, two becoming one, bonding forever in a state of tenderness. Xolo and Cuintle were originally imagined inside an installation presented for the group show “Worst Case Scenario” curated by Chloé Bonnie addressing themes of elastic time, moving space and the troubled body.
Artist duo Romy Texier and Valentin Vie Binet go by the collective title Xolo Cuintle, producing works that sit somewhere between furniture, sculpture, sets and domestic spaces. Assembled from concrete, steel and wood, the artists present petrified scenes; timeless, abandoned spaces. Producing complete domestic settings, where each room is a discreet space, their works are re-interpreted, re-updated, and re-assembled; each set is organized around furniture and decorative objects from all eras. Families of styles and treatments, dissonances coexist and confront each other. Between noble materials and substitutes, objects are at once completed and rough. These composite assemblages aim for a form of harmony that is embodied through the successive montage of a series of living-room settings.
