GOEN project: drawings, paintings, textiles

Goen, from Japanese language, refers to bond, connection, affinity.

“Some concepts of geography have changed over time. The ideas of place, sense of place, location, and locality incorporate new elements into previous studies. In this vein, geographer Doreen Massey proposes that we understand places not as points or areas on maps, but as ‘spatiotemporal interactions or events’, something like a ceaseless movement between the stories that shape the here and now.

In GOEN, artists Natalia Blanch and Erica Naito explore the confluence of the self and the foreign from an ‘other place’. Encouraged by the idea of ​​building a long-distance connection, they communicate through postal mail through drawings, paintings, photographs, weaving, and embroidery. Erica from Argentina and Natalia from Belgium exchange works monthly, forming a process that has lasted three years and has generated a coming-and-going of letters and works.

[...] Do they guess each other? Do they sense each other? Mysterious connections that take us out of the ordinary and into a dimension that captivates us, beyond pre-established time and space; in the very movement that now constitutes their cohabitation.” Claudia G. Aguilera, curator, excerpt from the exhibition's publication Presagio de un encuentro (Omen for an encounter).
