38 works · 4 artists · exhibition proposal

01 / Responsibilities

  1. Lead development of the exhibition proposal, from curatorial research to the artwork register and project plan.
  2. Define the art direction, spatial sequence and visitor experience across 4 artistic practices.
  3. Develop the curatorial brochure and visual communication of the proposal.
  4. Coordinate technical planning for mounting, supports, electrical access and projections.

02 / Process optimisation

Develop the curatorial narrative, spatial design, communication and technical requirements as one coordinated proposal.

03 / Contribution & outcome

A complete spatial and technical proposal for 38 works by 4 artists. Presented as a plan, not as a delivered exhibition.

Concept

Traza brings together practices that translate and transform signs into perceptual routes. Works by Guillermo Kuitca, Leticia Obeid, León Ferrari and Mariano Sardón move between mapping, writing, touch and interactive media, inviting close reading across the concrete and the ephemeral.

A short history

The 2020 proposal was developed for Fundación El Gran Vidrio in Córdoba as a complete exhibition plan. Curatorial research, artwork inventory, spatial zoning, elevations and visitor circulation were resolved together. This brought very different scales and media into one coherent sequence, from monumental mixed-media works and handwritten correspondence to Braille interventions and interactive projections.

Process and spatial logic

From proposition to public experience.

01

Curatorial frame

A shared proposition connected four practices through trace, language and perception while preserving the specificity of each artist’s work.

02

Artwork mapping

A register of 38 works aligned dimensions, media, technical dependencies and mounting requirements before decisions moved into the room.

03

Spatial sequence

Colour-coded zoning, sightlines, thresholds and a proposed visitor route organised monumental works, intimate manuscripts and interactive installations into a legible progression.

04

Technical resolution

Wall elevations, supports, tablets, electrical access, projection conditions and installation clearances translated the curatorial idea into an actionable exhibition plan.

Selected archive

Works, systems and spatial decisions.

The archive places source artworks beside the organisational documents developed for the exhibition. Together, the images show how curatorial intent became an artwork register, a spatial hierarchy, a visitor route and a practical technical plan.

Exhibition dossier

Brochure, plans and technical studies.

The curatorial, spatial and production logic is presented as a working archive: complete documents, shown at a considered scale and without cropping.
