La fuente de la Damaluna

About this book

The structures exhibited by Verónica Artagaveytia (Montevideo, 1955) in the exhibition "La Fuente de la Damaluna" are contradictory, ambivalent, they propose open dialogues. It is a volumetric installation composed of several characteristic elements that represent the artist: Damamoons, spirals, women, birds, feathers, worked in light metals, which surround the Blanes Museum from the central flowerbed to the cloister, following the axis of the building. They can refect a hurtful brightness of the sun or the tenderness of the leaves of the trees moving with the cadence of a gentle breeze, or the colors of the carp that swim, indolent, with an indifferent appearance. Motionless or barely swayed by the wind, they reflect the immediacy of the people passing by, of the clouds, of the moon, the sun, the flight of a bird, they are reflective surfaces that mirror the movements of the environment.
