The first European solo exhibition by Mexico-based Uruguayan artist Ana Bidart. “Long Before the Walls” introduces a constellation of newly commissioned, site-specific installations and interventions at the Delfina house.
Through playful yet earnest acts of sculpting and in-situ drawing, Bidart unpacks her ongoing contemplation of history as a construct, of the fluid parallels between drawing and writing, and of the poetics of spatial and temporal negotiation. Further inspired by a recent trip to study the prehistoric rock art in Serra da Capivara National Park in Brazil, Bidart attempts to embody the grammar of everyday mark making, flirting with the ghostly ‘noises’ of our surroundings and revealing layers of out-of-frame stories.
