Resonancias Desde El Abismo Artistas Uruguayos
The exhibition 'Resonancias desde el abismo. Prácticas artísticas entre presiones y frecuencias extrañas' (Resonances from the Abyss. Artistic Practices Between Pressures and Strange Frequencies), curated by Fabiana Puentes, opened at the Centro Cultural de España in Montevideo. It features works by eight Uruguayan artists—including Guadalupe Ayala, Karina Flores, and Sofía Córdoba—working across sculpture, video, sound, and installation. The show uses the extreme, dark, and high-pressure ecosystem of the ocean abyss as a conceptual framework to explore artistic practices that resist immediate interpretation and conventional systems of reference.
The exhibition matters because it positions the deep sea as a powerful metaphor for contemporary art itself—a space where alternative forms of existence, perception, and communication can thrive outside dominant, data-driven frameworks. By creating immersive environments that prioritize listening, material transformation, and non-linear time, the artists propose art as a method of thought that embraces ambiguity and interference, offering a critical response to a world obsessed with measurable data and instant legibility.
