Cave Sculpture. 1000 kg of clay 250 x 350 x 200 cm
Beca Kuitca, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
2010-2011
The cave was a habitable sculpture. A primitive space to go back and refound everything that we have access to. An underworld inside the world; though a parallel dimension, embedded in a context.
The Cave existed for ten months and its shape has been mutating and building a cycle with different distinguishable stages. Focusing on the methodology , we identify at least two structures that intersect each other. One only within the group, where the cave became a sensitive object molded in a process of both anachronism and urgency. The other open to different participants, where several events were developed collaboratively transforming the cave in a social space.
Cave-object.
The Cave awoke a throwback to foundational techniques. The primitive space as an habitable sculpture, where the design of the habitat appears as the first visual representation.
The cave paintings as the dressing code for this first reresentation. The sculpture becomes surround painting, and this surround painting shifts afterwards to ritual painting in movement.
Finally, a series of pinhole photographs tautologically reproduces the paintings, holding them by partial and hazy views, where the cave itself becomes out of focus after several layers of exploration.

Cave-stage.
The Cave was a hermit habitat but also a social setting: a genetically ritual space. It was offered for rent during one month in order to transform our underworld into an office and force a real situation infiltrate into a parallel dimension and a fictional context. There were concerts, lectures and exhibitions of guest artists, with live and remote audiences, expanding virtually the space the cave via ustream. Conversations pieces were held with different scales and languages, groups of Tavern-parishioners talking through National Geographic images and interviews one by one, where interviewees gave their voice to become Cavern.
