<< Ensamble >> rhythm installation
10-11.2024
Ensemble is an exhibition that brings together three artists from different disciplines and diverse backgrounds. Together, they create a visual and auditory essay through rhythm. Ensamble is composed of 18 solenoids by musician Miguel La Corte, distributed across a Tambor Palitero by drum luthier Armando Pantoja and six paintings by visual artist Pepe López.
For over a decade, Pepe López has been painting drums crafted by Armando Pantoja for traditional festivals in the village of Todasana. The works here present are preliminary sketches for a group of cumaco drums made from avocado wood, which were used in the San Juan celebration in 2011.
In 2024, artist Pepe López invited musician Miguel La Corte to intervene in his paintings, translating the rhythmic motifs present in the colors into sound. La Corte, in turn, seeks to uncover the sequential patterns within these abstract compositions, proposing a synthesis of convergence between sound and color through the rhythm suggested by the traditional beats—Perra and Macizón—of Todasana, as taught to him by musician Armando Pantoja.
