NSFW/SVILOVA is proud to present the online exhibition Cadencias necesarias /Necessary Cadences with artists Yanieb Fabre and Celestial Brizuela, curated by the independent Mexican art platform Islera, and with a text written by cultural project manager Kristell Henry.
In her text, Henry describes the dialogue between Fabre and Brizuela as two possible constructions of corporality and how these relate to our inner world. She says "Both artists summon magic in order to provoke a transformation that looks like a genesis: both magical acts start from a –probably intentional– state of solitude, which is at the same time sheltered and nurtured by its immediate environment."
Islera is an independent platform focused on artistic experimentation, cultural promotion and cooperation, founded in February 2020 in La Merced neighborhood (Mexico City).
The platform arises from the desire to detach from traditional and commercial contemporary art circuits. While seeking to integrate Islera into La Merced’s cultural territory with a socially responsible approach, the aim of the platform is to offer a space and visibility to young or emergent artistic practices, to link cultural agents from multiple disciplines and to promote the diversification of audiences through collaborations, meetings, and workshops accessible to everyone.
