José Villalobos: In the Reflection of Memory

November 02 - December 28,2024

From Liliana Bloch Gallery: "In the Reflection of Memory is an exhibition that showcases both new and existing works by artist José Villalobos, inviting viewers to engage with his a multifaceted manner. The pieces within this exhibition are not merely visual artifacts; they embody a deeper element of reflection—both physically and metaphorically. In his recent works, Villalobos has taken a particular interest in using mirrors as a material, which adds layers of meaning to the pieces. Mirrors, traditionally associated with self-awareness and truth, become tools for interaction, compelling the audience to observe and participate in the narrative that unfolds within the artwork. This dynamic transforms the viewing experience, as visitors find themselves inserted into Villalobos’s world, prompting a contemplative dialogue about identity, memory, and shared experience. The exhibition creates a unique space where empathy and complicity intertwine. As the audience engages with the works, their own reflections—both literal and metaphorical—serve to shape their understanding of the themes at play. Are they merely passive observers, or do they become active participants in the stories that are told? The viewer's own emotional responses and interpretations will ultimately determine their role in this immersive experience. In the Reflection of Memory is an exploration of self-perception and otherness within the tapestry of memory and experience."
