This exhibition celebrates Azucena Vieites, winner of the National Graphic Art Award, showcasing her artistic practice centered on multiplicity, reproduction, and gender activism through low-fi aesthetics and DIY principles. The exhibition explores her continuous editing of images to present a visual memory of her career.
The exhibition dedicated to Azucena Vieites highlights her recognition with the prestigious National Graphic Art Award, acknowledging the significance of multiplicity, reproduction, and copy in contemporary visual culture, low-fi practices, and gender activism within her creative proposals. The exhibition presents a curated selection of her work, acting as an aesthetic memory of various moments in her trajectory. Vieites's artistic approach is deeply rooted in feminism and DIY punk culture, challenging technical virtuosity and the concept of the unique image through sequences that deconstruct narrative logic. She frequently utilizes appropriated images from diverse sources like art and fashion magazines, album covers, fanzines, and feminist publications, which are then re-elaborated through repetition, serialization, and remaking. Her work with Erreakzioa-Reacción, a collective focused on art and feminism, further exemplifies these premises. Vieites often employs economical materials such as photocopies and cardstock, alongside simple artistic languages like drawing, collage, and screen printing. She notes that screen printing allows for repeated image production, prompting reflection on originality, copy, and reproducibility. This reiterative effect, she explains, can cause the represented subject to fade and become uncanny, leading to a sense of strangeness that is fundamental to artistic practice. Her engagement with moving images also draws from experimental video art and music video aesthetics. Vieites's artistic journey began in the early nineties, focusing on contemporary visual culture with graphic resources and low-fi strategies. She also pursued a doctorate on low-fi artistic practices, emphasizing their economic accessibility and authentic, direct output, fostering independent creation.
