Island's Artists Invade Milwaukee International Art Fair

REPUESTO and a group of puertorrican artists have been invited, by the curator of the prestigious center of contemporary art INOVA from the University of Winsconsin, Nicholas Frank, to take part during the 16th and 17th of May 2008 at Milwaukee International Art Fair. REPUESTO, a publication and archive of art events images on line, designed by duo W&N, together with the artists Gamaliel Rodríguez, Pedro Vélez, Abdiel Segarra, Jacob Marchosky and Kristine Serviá will be present with pieces of installation, drawing, painting, collage and sound objects. The Milwaukee Internacional fair is recognized in the international scene by its slightly conventional model since the fair is celebrated in a brewery.

REPUESTO’s intervention adds to some renown galleries that will participate on the art fair like Gavin Brown's Enterprises, Daniel Reich, Leo Koenig, Western Exhibitions, and Willy Wonka from Oslo among others.

W&N

To quit individuality, plays an important role in the work of collaborative duo W&N. Through multidisciplinary and “inadequate” techniques, they avoid the naturalization of everyday objects, transforming them, from mostly didactic, to just playful and absurd ideas of perception. The non-metaphorical representation of dichotomies is performed through caricature-like depictions, workshops, paintings, shop droppings, sculpture, photography, collage, printing, public interventions, and banners. As a desperate measure, their work attempts an inalterable search to find lost memories of infancy. Investigating their own sense of violence, immorality, hypocrisy and jealousy, W&N demystify the individual genius, while discovering how artists have an “unbreakable confidence in the possibility of dominating the world” through narcissism.
