FEEDBACK LOOP
Luciano Goizueta (CR)
A final exhibition at …. in Gothenburg to dive into Goizueta’s work…. "The interdisciplinary nature of Goizueta’s practice, and the use of photography in particular, allows him to not only contain and conserve fragments of his reality, but also process them in a particular manner. It is through these diurnal frames that Goizueta is able to study and reflect upon the transforming meaning of images; how an illusion occurs when we think we are able to experience those moments again, yet don’t realize how the passing of time alters these experiences, mimicking the memory process. Such is the case of “Archive 1111” (2016), a series of drawings based on photographs taken every day at the same time (11:11), revisited two years later, to reveal, with a voyeuristic eye, the artist’s experience and his interpretation of it. Other works focus on the study of an internal universe that, rather than express an individual experience, appropriate a series of images extracted from books , encyclopaedias and other sources in order to refer to a broader visual universe. The how we consume these images becomes the central subject in series like “Abductions” (2018), where the loss of logic is represented through clusters of images that remind us of oneiric scenarios where a distortion in content is evident. The concept of the Echo Chamber implies a vision filtered by a series of decisions (either conscious or unconscious), giving way to an image of reality that is separate from it. Aware of this censorship, Goizueta seeks to move away from some of the processes, gesturing , on occasions , towards abstraction, case of “Microcosms” (2010) — an abstraction that is, in fact, based on a specific image— and, in others, relying on chance as a means through which to arrive at a work that intends to be honest, freed from external influence, as an act of resistance towards this phenomenon.” Floria Herrero González
Utställningen organiseras inom ramen och med stöd av GIBCA Extended.

“The reproduction of reproduction here allows the creation of new realities, invites us to the action of looking out, searching and looking again”. María Jose Chavarría. Curator of the Museum of Costa Rican Art
“Creating through what is unseen. "Metadata" refers to a group of data that describes the informational content of other data. In this case, the artist used all the information collected in various photographs captured over the years to make a mixture of objects and characters. These works constitute a reflection on the passage of time. The moments captured and juxtaposed on another create multiple and complex images, which invite us to decipher them from our experience and memory.” Musarco Wordpress
"Luciano Goizueta's work is not easy to embrace. It contains blueprints of an architect, features of a designer, and the sharpness of images captured by a photographer. However, his field of action captivates him and identifies immediately”. El Nacional, Pamela Olavarria
“Luciano Goizueta's works are visually powerful; they are presented to the viewer as carefully constructed labyrinths of images that are both familiar and foreign to us. Without a doubt, he is one of the most innovative voices of his generation”. Sofía Soto Maffioli, Director of the Museum of Costa Rican Art

BIO
Luciano Goizueta är en interdisciplinär konstnär baserad i San José, Costa Rica. Han är främst känd för sina målningar, men arbetar också med teckning, fotografi, montage, video och andra tekniker och letar efter sätt att kombinera dem.
Redan som barn visade han intresse för vetenskap och konst. Den vetenskapliga metoden med dess observationer, hypoteser, förutsägelser, experiment och analys av resultaten informerar och lägger grunden för hans konstnärliga arbete. Ända sedan hans första utställning 2004 har han utforskat flera teman som är uppdelade i serier som han återvänder till regelbundet. När dessa teman granskas kan illusionen om ”återkomst” avslöjas. På så sätt är minne, tid och vardag element som han använder för att reflektera över kärnaspekterna i sin produktion: metadata av bilder som stöder hans produktion.
Under sin produktiva karriär har Goizueta haft mer än åttio solo- och grupputställningar på gallerier, museer och konstmässor inom Costa Rica och utomlands, bland annat i Pinta 09 Art Fair (New York), Shanghai Art Fair (Kina) och SCOPE (Basel, Schweiz). Hans verk har inkluderats i viktiga offentliga och privata konstsamlingar.
Han spenderar för närvarande majoriteten av sin tid med sin familj, på sin konst och som föreståndare av _temporal, en ideell konstnärlig organisation som främjar dialog och konstnärlig produktion i staden San José.
