As a Peruvian artist working abroad, Fernández has always searched for themes that reflect a relationship to his surroundings; wrestling with a position regarding the landscape and the cultural constructs that surround him.
Global explores the seemingly unremarkable spaces created by institutions that appear sterile and seemingly have no specific function or geographical location, as they exist without intervention.
The glow of fluorescent lights, poor acoustics and dry wall are present in buildings across the world, turning them into spatial vacuums that defy traditional notions of purpose and placement; once inside an office building, the weather is always pleasant and the landscape remains painfully similar: 68° to 72° degrees fahrenheit, industrial carpeting, beige technology and artificial plants. Even the activities have been equalized: spaces remain the same, only software changes. yet the images appear almost ominous; foreboding in their vast, cold spaces.
Opening reception October 11, 7pm. Show will run through November 20, 2008.
