Malena Guerrieri – 2 La qualité que je désire chez un homme

Malena Guerrieri – 2 La qualité que je désire chez un homme

Description

Listen to the audio description of this artwork:

“This photograph was taken in 2023, during my final year at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.

It shows one of my closest friends and his boyfriend at the time. We had gone to the seaside together for a film festival.

I had this photo with me when I took part in the On Boards Biennale that same year, and looking back, it’s the image I wish I had submitted.

The title comes from the second question in Le Questionnaire de Proust, a little book I bought in France while visiting the same friend featured in the photo.”

“I’m Malena Guerrieri, a visual artist from Argentina, currently based in my home country. I hold a Master of Arts degree from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. During my time at the Academy, I was part of the research group Forms of Life, a project organized in collaboration with MUDAM Luxembourg. This research culminated in a homonymous exhibition held at the Royal Academy.

In 2023, as part of my Master’s project, I curated the exhibition The Antwerp Chair Collection, where I invited students, teachers, and friends to creatively intervene in abandoned chairs found on the streets of Antwerp. The project concluded with the publication of a book featuring visual documentation and titles of the works, allowing the exhibition to extend beyond the physical space and persist through printed form. That same year, I also participated in the On Boards Biennale, as well as in TO BE ANTWERP.

My most recent solo exhibition, La Caprichosa, took place in Buenos Aires at a gallery dedicated to football-related art. For this project, I designed footballs using discarded leather scraps sourced from a local tannery.

In my practice, I continue to explore the artistic potential of everyday objects and found materials, focusing on giving them a renewed presence and a second life.”
