  • HELLEN ASCOLI: CIEN TIERRAS

    Hellen Ascoli

    4 FEB - 25 JUN, 2023

    For her this solo exhibition at La Nueva Fábrica (LNF), Ascoli presents a new body of work that
    includes a large-scale textile installation, a site-responsive kinetic wall sculpture, text-based
    weavings, videos displayed in custom-designed furniture, photographs, and sound works. These
    are exhibited alongside new weavings that were made as a part of Ascoli’s residency at LNF in 2022.

    The exhibition’s title, Cien tierras, which is shared by two bodies of work included therein,
    translates as “one hundred earths.” Here, “cien tierras” evokes the artist’s diasporic history and
    the multiplicities that underpin her practice of weaving while connecting it to other forms of
    recorded knowledge. Reflecting Ascoli’s collaborative process, the exhibition features
    contributions by poet and weaver Negma Coy, painter Jorge de León, sound artist and musician
    Sofia Jade Tanski, artist Luisa González-Reiche, artist Gabriel Rodríguez, and designer Karl
    Williamson.
