ALBERTO CHECA

Checa’s work is both documentation and inquiry, yet never in privilege of memento, as transient assemblages, exploring what is beyond the apparent horizon, closer looking at the possibilities suspended in-between two tides. Through disruptive yet vacant settings and recurring motifs of performance and methodical compositions, Checa coordinates the physical space of the gallery into a porous, decentralized network, taking the specter both everywhere at once and nowhere in particular. Careful graphite drawings of sculptures occupy in conjunction with materials often identifiable in relation to job sites, intermingling with performers’ hands dirtied with plaster questioning alabaster, sound mobilizing, sculptures reimagining themselves as tools, and amidst, ushering a new kind of choreography, a new way of understanding, transforming and revising possibilities of being, building and protecting.
