Summary
  • "'Teresita Fernández: Elemental' brings to life the myriad experiential and luminous works of Teresita Fernández's more than twenty-year career. Images of her visually alluring, monumental sculptures and installations reveal how one of the United States' most compelling contemporary artists investigates the intersection of culture and landscape. This catalogue captures the powerful nature of a creative practice that draws connections between landscape, history, place, and materiality. Included essays and interviews shed light on Fernández's sculptural and conceptual approaches, as well as her references to land, geology, and social order. Accompanying this monograph, the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and Phoenix Art Museum have co-organized the retrospective Teresita Fernández: Elemental, the first midcareer survey of the 2005 MacArthur Foundation Fellow. = 'Teresita Fernández: Elemental' recoge una miríada de obras luminosas e interactivas de Teresita Fernández, creadas a lo largo de una carrera que abarca más de veinte años. Las imágenes de sus instalaciones y esculturas, visualmente atrayentes y monumentales, revelan las indagaciones sobre la intersección entre la cultura y el paisaje realizadas por una de las artistas contemporáneas más cautivadoras de los Estados Unidos. Este catálago captura la poderosa naturaleza de una práctica creativa que establece sugerentes conexiones entre el paisaje, la historia, el lugar y la materialidad. Los ensayos y entrevistas includios arrojan luz sobre las premisas escultóricas y conceptuales de Fernández, así como sobre las referencias de suas obras a la tierra, la geología y el orden social. Acompañando esta monografía, el Pérez Art Musuem Miami (PAMM) y el Phoenix Art Museum han organizado conjuntamente la exposición Teresita Fernández: Elemental, retrospectiva que abarca más de dos décadas de la carrera de esta artista, MacArthur Foundation Fellow en el 2005."
  • Teresita Fernández's dazzling large-scale sculptures and installations employ diverse materials-charcoal, ceramics, chrome, steel, onyx, wood, resin, and enamel-with an utterly immersive effect. Accompanying a retrospective of Fernandez's career, and including images of her most recent installation, this book captures the powerful nature of an artistic practice exploring issues of perception, geography, ecology, history, and society. Featured works include Fire, her haunting ongoing series on the conceptual phenomena of landscape; Autumn (...Nothing Personal), created as a participatory space at Harvard University; and As Above, So Below, a series of immersive, interconnected installations referencing alchemy and the cosmos.00Exhibition: Perez Art Museum, Miami, USA (18.10.2019-09.02.2020) / Phoenix Art Museum, USA (21.03.-24.05.2020) / New Orleans Museum of Art, USA (summer 2020 - winter 2021).
