Mazennet & Quiroga

Lina Mazenett and David Quiroga have been working in Bogotá as a collective for the past years. Their central interest is the temporality of matter. Morphogenesis and mythology are transversal issues in their practice. They investigate the ways in which objects such as rocks, meteorites and seeds, reveal their origin through their shape, and how they contain sacred ideas that can be connected with everyday life. Through their practice, Mazenett Quiroga explores the interrelationships that exist between organisms and environmental natural resources, and how these relationships are appropriated and distributed through culture. Their practice oscillates between past and present, science and mythology, the native cultures and those of western influence. In their work, interstices between apparent cultural polarities are manifested, at the same time that it covers a wide range of media, from sculpture to found objects and painting.
