MELANIE SMITH

Xilitla es la película que la artista visual Melanie Smith presentó en la 54 Bienal de Venecia en 2011. Se trata de una pieza en la que se mezclan medios tan dispares como el vídeo y la pintura. Smith realizo en ella un "desmantelamiento" del encuadre mediante juegos conceptuales en torno a la repeticion y la diferencia, desplazando su produccion desde la practica de la pintura como medio potencial para "desencuadrar el encuadre".

Melanie Smith (Poole, Reino Unido, 1965) es una de las artistas contemporáneas más reconocidas de México que trabaja en una variedad de medios de expresión, desde la pintura y la fotografía hasta la instalacion. Fordlandia es un viaje de (des)colonizacion con el que la artista continua su investigacion estetica en torno a las derivas de la modernidad en lugares inciertos de lo que fueran sus imaginarios.En el caso de Fordlandia, Melanie Smith (des)explora el Amazonas: las tensiones entre el paisaje industrial y el natural, entre lo vivo y la maquina. Pensado como una bitacora ilustrada del dialogo entre la artista y el curador, y acompañado por un ensayo filosofico sobre las formas de la mera vida y la noche salva, Fordlandia es una pregunta historico-politica sobre el sentido del mundo en la contemporaneidad.
