Convergences is an unprecedented exhibition project between the artists Elias Crespin (Venezuela, 1965) and Felipe Pantone (Argentina, 1986). The exhibition, accompanied by a text by curator Tania Aedo (Mexico, 1968), brings together 20 works, including two pieces that were specially made by both artists in collaboration for this exhibition.
This project arises from the interest in deepening the relationships that exist between time, movement and technology. According to the curator, the exhibition becomes a “disturbance”, which is perceptible to the human eye as a subtle collision of elements characteristic of each artist's work: the gradients of color and a highly contrasted palette —constant in Pantone's work— and the precise choreography indicated by the motor programming, characteristic of Crespin's work. The result is a language that moves between technology and fine art, like a glitch in art history.
