GREEN IS GOLD is pleased to announce the opening of the group exhibition Todo Está Conectado(Everything Is Connected) with new works by the Mexican artist collective Neter. This will be first occasion that the participating artists will have exhibited in Denmark.
Neter was founded in Mexico City in 2011 and represents a young generation of Mexican artists. Todo Está Conectado consists of new works in a variety of mediums including: video, sound, drawing, painting and photography. The exhibition evolves around the theme of energy and
in a specific, as well as a more general, sense the ensemble of works plays with the idea of an exchange of energy between GREEN IS GOLD and Neter - and what this exchange actually implies. Neterarticulates their thoughts behind the project as follows:
What is a collective, beside a gathering and exchange of energy? It is often rather confusing to understand what it means when everything is connected, and how a collaboration works. Conversations, notions and projects exist intermittently in a flow of activity whose purpose is never entirely clear.
Neter Collective was born from modes of production which have changed considerably in recent times and therefore must be addressed under new considerations and new dimensions: We believe that creating this exchange with fellow artist-run exhibition space GREEN IS GOLD is part of it.
Every artwork in the exhibition is connected in the sense, that they must be plugged in, turned on or played. For the very first time, from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, we present our collective to you. But what happens with the arrangement if certain elements do not work, if it burns out or crashes? Nothing? Tragedy? Or perhaps, it just gets a bit boring? Like discovering one morning that the microwave died or being left silent after the phone battery runs out — these phenomena which more or less matter in the circuit of everyday life are perfect analogous to our project: we are just curious about how things work out or don’t work, how everything is connected.
The participating artists are:
Mariana Magdaleno, Carlos Olvera, Ramiro Chaves, Alejandro García Contreras, Christian Camacho, Christian Castañeda, Tania Ximena, Alex Bolio, Jimena Schlaepfer, Luis Nava, Chucho Cruz Caba and Luis Ordóñez.
The show is part of an exchange between GREEN IS GOLD and Neter aiming to create focus on young Scandinavian art in Mexico, and young Mexican art in Denmark. The second part of the exchange will take place at Neter, Mexico City, in October 2014, showing works by artists from GREEN IS GOLD’s exhibition programme.
The show is initiated and coordinated by Danish curators Eva Nedergaard Pedersen and Signe Havsteen. Both have great knowledge and experience of the Latin and South American art scene and have both lived and worked there for extended periods of time in the past years.
Exhibition period: 30.08 - 13.09. 2014
Artist talk: Monday 01.09.2014 at 17:00
