“My work is designed as a system of inquiry into creative practice. It is a search for meaning that not only uncovers motivation, answering the question of why to create, but also permits a critical appraisal of the role of the subject who performs personal work.”
Ricardo Rendón
“Principios de Afirmación” shows actions, site specific interventions, sculptures and assemblages that reflect on the concept of work and the creative process. Contemporary art ways toworking and experience are questions by the use of diverse materials such as felt, veneer, sand paper or copper pipe, and working procedures from traditional crafts such us furrier, plumber or electrician.
The introspection inside the working context has brought Rendón closer to other fields where the activation, the straight contact with the materials and the tradition define them like possible places for creative learning.
