Description
The artwork presents a minimalist composition of various white objects arranged on a plain background. The visual elements consist of simple geometric shapes, including a circular disk, rectangular container, and elongated cylindrical forms. The overall monochromatic palette and clean, smooth surfaces create a sense of uniformity and austerity. The subject matter appears to be a collection of everyday tools or household objects, though they are stripped of their usual functions and presented as abstract sculptural forms. The artistic style and technique suggest a conceptual approach, where the focus is on the formal qualities and symbolic resonance of the materials and shapes rather than their practical applications. The historical context or the artist's intention behind this piece could be to explore themes of minimalism, functionality, and the relationship between form and meaning in contemporary art. ...

Amalia Pica
B.1978, ArgentinianAmalia Pica’s practice, which includes sculpture, performance, installation, drawing and video, explores human communication, its failures and intimacy. Human modes of interaction, such as the desire to be understood and accepted, are central to her work.

In her performances, she explores the ways civic participation can become a mode of resistance to political oppression across time and cultures. ...
