PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Linda Carrara’s painting is made of simple shapes and structures. That is to say, objects, insofar as they correspond to those features. Their representation mainly emphasizes spatial dimensions, volumes and lines, with an economy of means that makes the interaction they have with each other sensitive, rather than their own constitution or appearance. In this, the main interest is not the object as a material thing, but the object as a taut space, connected to the related objects. This is a dynamic ecosystem, an organization of fullness and emptiness that offers the mind ways to perceive the world, without the world. Life without life. (Herve Ic, 2015)

During her Artist Residency at MOMENTUM, Linda Carrara continues her research on architecture as the abstract space of thinking. She will go deeper into the question of projection of light on canvas, and she will analyze the relationship between the shadow and light of the canvas, the relation with the space that surrounds it and the enigma between the projection of light and light of the painting.
