THE ECUATOR'S PARTICULARITY AT CASA DEL BARRIO
The exhibition Todo empezó amaneciendo (Everything Began Dawning) by Ecuadorian artist José Luis Macas at Casa del Barrio gallery includes seven projects created between 2013 and 2023 that revolve around the landscape during solstices and equinoxes with performative interventions and a video and photographic record.
Curated by Giada Lusardi, Todo empezó amaneciendo also presents a drawing and cyanotype works, and a series of paintings in relation to astronomical time and the geographic landscape. Acrylics are exhibited with urban interventions in the form of expanded painting. All these projects are based on a search for knowledge, on situated skills, on the singularity of geography, on the geo-astronomical position of the equatorial region and on the Andean cosmovision.
In the words of curator Giada Lusardi: "José Luis Macas closes a decade-long cycle dedicated to thinking about the singularities and relationships between geographies, light phenomena, living beings, spiritualities, cultures and affections. His creative practices are situated and atmospheric; for this reason, his power lets us see something that has always been there, since dawn".
José Luis Macas (Ecuador, 1983) lives and works in Quito, Ecuador. Visual artist, professor and researcher at the Visual Arts Department of the Universidad Católica del Ecuador. He has studied visual arts in Belgium, Ecuador and Cuba. Master in Art in public space and multimedia at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. Member of the sound performance collective 0°1533, collaborator of the Kichwa artists collective Sumakruray and coordinator of Chawpi laboratorio de creación, a cultural space in Quito.
