<< Ensamble >> rhythm installation
10 - 11.2024
Ensamble is an exhibition that brings together three artists from different disciplines and diverse backgrounds. Together, they create a visual and auditory essay based on two traditional rhythms—Perra and Macizón—from the coastal town of Todasana.
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 paintings 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. In turn, he created a generative algorhythm that dissects these two traditional rhythms from the coastal town of Todasana, and depicts them -uniquely within each painting- in a de-generative fashion; effectively destructuring them over 12 minutes cycles to reveal the precise codes that, through their marking, make us feel our time.
