Removing the fear factor of going to an art opening or show is one of the objectives of the exhibit, Metamorphosis, a New Cycle, Silvia Piza-Tandlich, textile artist, told WCCR members and guests at the National Museum on July 29th. This very special extra club event was coordinated for members by Elena Austermühle and Anne Kreupeling.
Asked how the exhibit came about, Silvia explained that she presented 28 handmade pieces originally intended for another show to convince museum personnel to let her take over the dungeons of the former fort. One of the challenges was to hang the displays without putting any new nails in the walls by using the railings already installed along the ceilings. Dealing with the dampness loomed large. By agreeing to repaint the walls in one room, Silvia was able to paint it a wine color so her white textiles would stand out.
A variety of creative textiles and mixed media are linked together by kilometers long fabric rope chains that signify links between artists, artists with people, and people with other people. Some pieces are quilted; others feature 3-D portions, while others appear to be woven. Some have handwritten messages on them, the narrow panels flowing down the walls and onto the floor. Other works resemble large overstuffed whimsical pin cushions.
Beyond the displays and the architecture, the exhibit is tied together with music composed for the show that drifts on the air in the background. It’s amazing to contemplate that prisoners lived in the tiny windowless cells that display some of the creations.
Without the help of several women and their families who create with her at the Galeria Octágono in San Rafael de Heredia, the exhibit that runs through 26 September would have been nearly impossible to assemble. Silvia wants visitors to enjoy the exposition but most of all she doesn’t want them to be indifferent even if the art doesn’t appeal to them. She may be contacted at 2267-6325 and info@galeriaoctagono.com. Her website is www.galeriaoctagono.com .
