How to Stand is a site-specific exhibition and installation which inhabits the gallery by architecturally and sculpturally intervening the space. It acknowledges the history and architecture of the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and it responds to certain architectural elements by creating sculptures that re-contextualize their original function and labor.
Influenced by the language of
systems of support, architecture, and museology, this exhibit
highlights a relationship between human, architectural, and
sculptural bodies. The installation plays with scale and with its
audience while igniting the imagination of spaces and
movement through the phenomenology of immensity.
Guzmán’s
compositions are constructed to settle between the material’s logic
and hers, balancing the industrial with the handcrafted through the
aesthetics of geometry and tensegrity.
