You've got to dig to dig it, you dig?
Remember how,
from the first emptiness,
you started saving yourself,
and ask yourself what,
after all,
these words are good for
You, If No One Else, Tino Villanueva

El término discrepancia describe una variación entre dos elementos que deberían de ser el mismo. Así, una discrepancia implica la existencia de un doble imperfecto, y articula una condición que da cabida a la evaluación y medida. La obra de Leonor Antunes, artista nacida en Lisboa y residente en Berlín, consiste en la producción de situaciones de este tipo, mediante el uso de repeticiones, duplicaciones o alteraciones de detalles dentro de un espacio o en la configuración de objetos.
Al identificar su obra como “sucesos”, como experiencias construidas de duración limitada, las intervenciones escultóricas de Antunes buscan despertar las capacidades perceptivas del espectador; lo animan a involucrarse con cada espacio u objeto de manera novedosa, mientras reconocen que estas situaciones están llenas de energía, de relaciones interiores y memoria. La artista está interesada en la arquitectura y el diseño modernistas, ya que representan un periodo cultural de innovación extrema y de toma de riesgos formales. Durante los últimos años, ha desarrollado un vocabulario definido de materiales, mediante el uso repetido de varios tipos de cuerdas, cuero, hule, latón y madera; materiales que hacen referencia tanto a la producción manual como a la industrial, y que además apuntan hacia el periodo modernista.

“[Emperor] Suinin is best known for events that surround the founding of the Ise Grand Shrine. The Nihon Shoki states that around 2,000 years ago the Emperor ordered his daughter Yamatohime-no-mikoto, to find a permanent location to worship the goddess Amaterasu-?mikami (the Sun Goddess).[5][7] Yamatohime searched for 20 years before settling on a location in Ise, where she established Naiku,[a] the Inner Shrine.[4][8] She is said to have chosen the location after she heard the voice of Amaterasu say; “(Ise) is a secluded and pleasant land. In this land I wish to dwell.”” Wikipedia.

Consider: the verbal dearth
that is always a main ripple of extinction.
The lexicon of wilds goes on nixing its descriptions.
Slimming its index of references
for what is
super as a rhubarb, and juicy
as a peach,or sunken as a
comb and ancient as an alder tree, or
conifer, or beech, what is royal
as jelly, dark as a wintering
hive, toxic as the jessamine vine
who weeps the way a willow does,
silently as wax
burned in the land of milk and
all the strong words in poems,
they were once
smeared on the mandible of a bee.
Playing with Bees, RK Fauth
… to find
what’s not found
at once, but lies
within something of another nature,
in repose, distinct.

I accept the presence of dances invisible to me.
I racked up habitual sins. I desired, desire
this hand of mine still reached for you.

“From around 2003-2015, Horn produced an impressive group of large-scale works referred to as Bodylandscape, paintings on paper that extended her interest in the body as machine into an autobiographical, performative arena. Incorporating pencil, acrylic, and watercolor and gouache with text, these energetic works are scaled to the artist’s own proportions, defined by the limit to which her arms could extend when building the sometimes-frenzied compositions through the movements and actions of her own body.”
Another world of tree spirit interweaves our path, emerging through fluid energies like sunlight.
Portals can be found near such a tree on our land and also in one’s own interior.
Expand your inner space toward the subjectivity of native plants by envisioning shared land.
Earth encompasses physical nature and an ineffable vastness of intention, telluric impulse, vivacity.
