RAAG Collective is a group of Latin American artists resident in the UK. We plan to curate/create a gallery-based show bringing together our distinct practices that explore notions of permanence and impermanence. The show will consist of both new and existing works created in a variety of media through close dialogue and reflection of each other’s practice. The exhibition will include: Andrea Greenwood’s double screen video work exploring the handling of two different materials – that of leather being softened and the chewing of gum. An enquiry on how these materials may start to behave similarly through the process of manipulation will be accompanied by a series of sculptures created with hardened leather ultimately blurring the line between object and body.  Fabiola Retamozo’s combined use of spoken word as live performance, exploring ephemeral qualities of the voice, words and memory with recent paintings will reflect upon unity and fragmentation.  Gonzalo Araoz’s series of paintings (acrylic on canvas and animations) and sculptures will explore existential thoughts with an emphasis on mutation, not only as a theme but also as form and method. Mati Araoz’s sculptural and photographic work will explore what might be left as humanity’s traces, after the end of the current epoch.
