Vanessa Enriquez

Gallery Gilla Loercher | Contemporary Art is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of Mexican artist Vanessa Enriquez at the gallery. The artist shows a large spatial drawing specially developed for the gallery space along with other derivative works which further her exploration of VHS magnetic tape as a drawing tool.
Using VHS tape to ‘draw’ in three dimensions, she extends lines of magnetic tape in a series of repetitive sequences to create geometric volumes that result at times in interference patterns. Enríquez´s transdisciplinary work draws from spiritual practices and the modern sciences in an attempt to investigate the hidden rhythms and patterns in nature. 
Vanessa Enríquez (b. 1973, Mexico City, Mexico) lives and works in Berlin. She graduated in 2000 from a Master in Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Yale University (USA). Her recent work, which has grown to encompass video, performance and installation, has been exhibited in curated group exhibitions in Berlin, New York, Mexico City, Hong Kong and the UK. In 2022 she showed her work at the XIX Biennale Tamayo, Museum Tamayo, Mexico and at Galerie Gilla Loercher, Berlin.

Until I disappear

“Intermittent lights” uses partly used VHS tapes to grow structures of loops that adhere directly to the wall of the gallery. As the light enters through the window it activates the piece by creating reflections and shadows.

The artist shows a large spatial drawing specially developed for the gallery space along with other derivative works which further her exploration of VHS magnetic tape as a drawing tool.

The series of drawings “Until I disappear” recycle VHS tape from previous ephemeral spatial drawings. Through a rigorous practice of pasting and removing the VHS tape through what the artist calls “micro-gestures” the magnetic powder is transferred revealing a universe of shapes that are reminiscent of the structures of nature.
