THE STORIES OF PABLO LINSAMBARTH AT ICPNA
Álbum de Casi Todos (Album of Almost Everyone) is the solo exhibition of Chilean artist Pablo Linsambarth at the Instituto Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (ICPNA). It is curated by Daniel H. Rey.
In Albúm de Casi Todos Pablo recreates lived or imagined situations, questioning to what extent we can develop the social characters we embody and, among them, who is who. His works bring together every-day and ambiguous individuals, whose stories are assumed with the simple stroke of a black line, stories that could be close, distant or on the edge.
Daniel H. Rey: "El Álbum de Casi Todos is an exercise in potentialities. Here it does matter who we can become; speculating what happens when we come together, separate and get to know other ways of inhabiting the double fabric of society and the canvas. This is the game of trying almost everything, of feeling almost everything no matter how difficult it may seem. In short, a game worthy of coining a verb of its own. This is the game of entodarse (to become everithing)".
