Extrudia
Based mostly on each using constraint and the interplay of probability, Anita Molinero’s extruded plastic sculptures emerge from a double paradox: the implementation of opposing forces (the constraint of gesture and laissez-faire) on the one hand, the “transmutation” of an ecologically incorrect material (plastic) into its deliquescence (produced by its ignition, making it strategy its unique liquid state) on the opposite.
Building website blocks, burnt rubbish cans, cinder blocks, exhaust pipes, polystyrene, concrete iron… she uses any wooden and any object of waste (sorted out on the shutter, nevertheless) to transfigure, with bursts of a blowtorch, the tatters and the rags of our cities in “plastic works,” and to offer a second life to the infamous materials.
If the “aesthetic deterioration” of the horrible neon-green plastic shack, enthroned on freeway playgrounds for the previous few many years, can depart one uncertain (despite its cheerful title, revealing the nightmare inflicted on the gaze by stated shack: The Irreplaceable Expertise of Smoby’s Explosion), the alignment of the brindled wheelchairs draped in burnt mirror chrome steel is poignant, as is the melted trash can “formed by the moods and angers of the street,” unbolted in situ earlier than being pierced with an “expressionist” gap, just like a scream…
