adrián villar rojas
Born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1980, artist Adrián Villar Rojas lives and works nomadically.. Evolving over years towards the design of topography-based, mutant, organic-inorganic systems, Villar Rojas invites viewers to become explorers of an unpredictable microcosmos of his design, where the future, the past, and alternate versions of our own present interact as a constantly changing totality. Leaving scarce traces of its passage through the world due to its perishing materiality and parasitical integration with its context of intervention, Villar Rojas’ project seems to operate against the notion of commodity, undermining the tacit rules which ensure an effective circulation in the art field: endurance, reproduction, trading, and transport. His work demonstrates its own temporality, offering—at the risk of its own oblivion—what is doomed to disappearance, what cannot—and perhaps should not—be preserved.
