RICARDO RENDON

Cummulative

Act Effect

MULTIPLESPACINGS, PROGR-Zentrum fur Kulturproduktion

Bern, Switzerland 2012

MULTIPLESPACINGS is pleased to present CUMULATIVE ACT EFFECT, the first solo exhibition in Bern of the artist Ricardo Rendón (Mexico City, 1970).

CUMULATIVE ACT EFFECT presents a series of works composed by interventions in different spaces and materials. A perforated sheetrock wall, modified newspapers or wallpapers trimmed and folded in different shapes appear as document and testimony of work procedures within the exhibition space, turning it into a setting determined by the creative experience, an ambient where the work is presented as a fact and evidence of the creative execution.

The works of Ricardo Rendón act as a complex diary where the actions are registered, documented and accumulated. His works are an appendix of construction or destruction practices that enunciate the moment where things happen, forms that propose the action as leitmotiv.

Ricardo Rendón proposes an epic that assaults architectures and objects equally. It is a query on the work and its sense by means of the experience. A narrative that the artist establishes leaving in most cases the waste of its activities within the place of intervention. Thus, he proposes a gesture that alludes to its procedure, a commemoration of every moment destined to the production of the capital gain. His work includes reflections that go from the micro to the macro, continuously restituting the work of the artist by its execution in a direct dialogue with the edification - construction.
