Portfolio Amparo Ferrari & Sebastian Zabronski conceptinprogress 1 We believe that be an artist is to have a particular way of perceiving reality and to find poetry there where vulgar gaze is blind. We use the accident as engine of ideas. We manipulate differents materials, images and objects whimsically chosen or found in our way trying to transmute them and taking advantage of the limitation they imposed to us. The context itself is a medium in its own right. It is one more element that speaks and suggests things, available to be manipulated and changed. Statement We use irony as a perturbing tool as well as cathartic of our own precariousness. We work overlaying differents layers of meaning, from one that is immediate until those that even if they are hidden in the first instance allow to intuit a broader aniconic sense. Above all we create visual poetry, aesthetic images. We look for the freshness of a gesture in the final result. Our goal is simpleness even if to get it must pass through complexity. 2 Works 3 Lineas manifestadas 2011 Digital intervent on photography 60 x 50 cm 4 Ruler for drawing irregular lines 2010 Plastic ruler intervented 32 x 4 cm 5 Untitled 2011 Intervent on paper ream 22 x 30 x 6 cm 6 Yes 2010 Installation Variable size 7 As inside is outside 2009 Installation 400 x 400 x 400 cm 8 Spider web 2009 Scotch tape installation 600 x 600 x 400 cm 9 Tornado 2009 Paper, wire and tape scotch. 200 x 200 x 450 cm. 10 My present is your present 2009 One frame in loop 11 The intent of the tension is the attention 2008 Fishing thead and hooks 600 x 500 x 300 cm 12 Mare di domande 2008 Hooks and fishing line on canvas 23 x 17 cm 13 Projects - DRL.

This project stems from a non-academic drawing conception. It is developed in practicing drawing as a perfor- mance, building tools and objects for drawing, sculptures and drawing in an architectural dimension. 100 meters draw 2010 30 x 20 cm Ink on paper 15 Drawing Research Lab Work in progress Officine dell’ Umbria Draw workshop 2010 Trevi, Italy Club del Dibujo Draw mastert class 2010 Mar del Plata, Argentine.

Rondò In collaboration with the musician Damián Turovezky 2008 Sound piece, 42’ 24’’ The sound composition Rondò presents a refrain or principal theme, that stays fixed, and alternates with contrasting themes to finish composing circular structure. The entire soundtrack was composed by kisses multiplicated and overlaped. A rain of kisess is the musical theme of the rondò. Allegory N°1 2008 Ink on paper block 10 x 15 cm. The experimental visual translation of Rondò sound composition, outcome in more than 200 allegories ranging from drawing to sculpture, photographies, instructions for actions, images web trouvé, watercolors, objects, digital collage, etc. The rhizomatic thought applied to develop the thecnical, language and conceptual levels variations can be represents by a tridimentional image: concentric waves in expansion where the further allegories from the center become more abstract and symbolic, liyng across a spiral who keep linked all the allegories to the origin.

Yes 2009/10 Two statements There is no art here Not here either Yes is an implicit message into the space created by two statements. It is a project in relation with the architecture and the spectator. The visible part of the work, the statements, exist only in shaping the vacuum, which is given by the space and time in between. This vacuum is the core composition, is every possibility of what may be “Yes”. The meaning of the work is not in shape but in the background, although easily reversible, depending of viewers. This work is a reflection of our collective work dynamics. Yes 2009 Variable size Installation Two canvas of 30 x 20 cm (The writting on first canvas: “there is no art here”.
