Not lost in translat

Not lost in translation: two works that speak to the power of art to help us visualize – and critique – complex, abstract systems. — 1) @AsuncionMolinosGordo’s ‘Ghost Agriculture II’ (2019) transfers a representation of our food supply's patchwork of traditional cultivators and agribusiness to stitched textiles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2) Teresa Solar Abboud's (@tere solar) sculpture ‘Cruceta, Pasta, Maquinaria de bombeo’ (2019) brings a tactile quality to forms that grapple with the construction of meaning through language. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Both artists’ interest in issues of cross-border interchange are informed by their dual connections to Spain and Egypt, Abboud’s mother’s birthplace and Gordo’s part-time residence. — Detail of ‘Ghost Agriculture II’ and installation view of @TravesiaCuatro’s booth at Miami Beach 2019. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #asuncionmolinosgordo #teresasolarabboud #travesiacuatro #artbasel #artbaselmiami #artbaselmiamibeach
