Up Close: “Solo B” by Mariana Valencia | THE SHED

In Mariana Valencia’s video “Solo B”—a Spanglish phrase coined by the artist meaning “just be”—the poses of Classical and pre-Columbian sculptures guide the artist’s movements, words, and reflections. The performance roams through millennia, from ancient Greece to contemporary art, capturing the world from Valencia’s perspective, framed by her research in the Mediterranean region, ephemera collected from her mother’s youth, and other references in her proximate view. Crossing time and place, “Solo B” offers a deep examination of notions of beauty, rupture, and healing. Valencia joined the Shed family of artists as a member of the first cohort of Open Call participants. When her commission was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she shifted the format of her piece and filmed it in her home during the ongoing shutdown of performance spaces in New York City. _______________ Visit https://bit.ly/2GZDgzH for more about "Solo B" by Mariana Valencia and to discover our other original commissions ranging from hip hop and dance to theater, sculpture, digital media, and visual art. _______________ WATCH MORE - Up Close: “Notes on Digging” by Kiyan Williams | THE SHED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnkox... _______________ Subscribe for our latest videos: http://bit.ly/2Q2FYF7 Support the creation of new art at The Shed by becoming a member today (http://theshed.org/support) or donating here: https://bit.ly/ShedDonate _______________ ABOUT THE SHED The Shed commissions original works of art, across all disciplines, for all audiences.
