la memoria del agua

  La memoria del agua es una exposición colectiva que presenta a cinco artistas cuyas prácticas exploran las huellas acuosas en la
historia, la imaginación y el mundo físico. La muestra toma su título de la teoría de 1988 del inmunólogo francés Jacques Benveniste
sobre la capacidad del agua para retener la «memoria» a nivel molecular. Aunque controvertida dentro de la comunidad científica, la
propuesta de Benveniste reavivó el interés en las posibilidades metafísicas del agua, particularmente en lo relacionado con la curación
y el recuerdo(1). Esta atención renovada refleja antiguas tradiciones y creencias transculturales sobre el agua y sus propiedades,
incluidos los orígenes de la memoria en la sociedad occidental en relación con el río mitológico Mnemosyne del inframundo griego
(2). En La memoria del agua, la segunda de las exposiciones de Galería Ponce + Robles dedicada a los cuatro elementos, los artistas

                                                naming tropical storms, a practice that first arose in the 1950s and is today supervised by the World Meteorological Organization

                                                names are presumed to be far easier to remember than numbers and technical terms.” In addition to serving as an aide-de-

                                                imagery into an individual portrait.
   Muy interesada en los patrones meteorológicos, Frances Gallardo explora la naturaleza de los huracanes, poderosos sistemas
de agua y viento con los que está íntimamente familiarizada al haberse criado en Puerto Rico. En Carmela, Gallardo toma prestada
la costumbre de nombrar tormentas tropicales, una práctica que surgió por primera vez en la década de 1950 y que hoy está
supervisada por la Organización Meteorológica Mundial (OMM). Según la OMM, este sistema se diseñó originalmente para «ayudar
en la identificación rápida de tormentas ... porque se presume que los nombres son mucho más fáciles de recordar que los números
y los términos técnicos» (3). Además de servir como ayuda para la memoria, esta práctica humaniza adicionalmente estos sistemas
potencialmente destructivos, aunque naturales. De hecho, formando parte de un cuerpo más grande de collages en papel recortado
que llevan el nombre de la familia y los amigos del artista, Carmella de Gallardo convierte las abstracciones arremolinadas de las
imágenes de satélite en retratos individuales.

De manera similar, Gallardo toma prestados conceptos de los mapas científicos en las dos obras en forma circular de su serie,
                                    The Unnamed. Como lo sugieren sus títulos, estas piezas de base textil se apartan de obras como Carmella en el sentido de que
                                    representan tormentas a las que nunca se les asignó un nombre formal, a pesar de alcanzar el estatus de huracán. Gallardo honra
                                    estos eventos climáticos aparentemente olvidados al conmemorar sus «vidas» a través de líneas bordadas que trazan el camino de

Mientras que la instalación de Díaz Reyes invita a los espectadores a recordar sonidos imaginados, la escultura Island of Langerhans
de Lina Puerta, presentada en la entreplanta de la galería Ponce + Robles, emite un goteo pacífico. Siendo un ejemplo de la serie
Fountains de la artista, la pieza presenta agua corriente que se bombea a través de un entorno natural fantasioso y falso creado
a partir de materiales encontrados, plantas artificiales y porcelanas hechas a mano dentro de una maleta “vintage”. “Island of
Langerhans” deriva su título de un grupo de células dentro del páncreas que son responsables de la producción de insulina. De
manera reveladora, en su tratado sobre el agua, el filósofo Gaston Bachelard hace referencia a los elementos como «hormonas de
la imaginación», y cita al agua como la «realidad poética más completa». (4)

  Estos procesos internos, así como

                                               of Langerhans sculpture, presented on the landing of the Ponce+Robles gallery. An example from the artist’s Fountains series,

                                               Bachelard references the elements as “hormones of the imagination,” citing water as the most “complete poetic reality.”

                                               belief in the interconnectedness of the body within nature, as well as the systems required to keep both functioning in balance.

La artista multidisciplinar, Evelyn Rydz, utiliza de manera similar el agua como parte de su práctica artística, recurriendo a los
                                          ríos y océanos como fuente pictórica y material físico. Creada recientemente para The Memory of Water, su obra Open Oceans
                                          Together/Apart a gran escala se compone de fotografías ensambladas para simular el flujo de agua a través del piso de la galería.
                                          Recortada de diversas formas, cada fotografía refleja la superficie de cuerpos de agua de todo el continente americano, desde
                                          ríos y afluentes en el área de Boston donde Rydz vive y trabaja, hasta el Mar Caribe, la región de donde proviene su familia.

Multidisciplinary artist Evelyn Rydz similarly uses water as part of her artistic practice, turning to rivers and oceans as both

La fotógrafa Genesis Báez expresa un interés formal por el agua en sus formas mutables, capturando el elemento en algunos de sus
estados más efímeros, como la niebla, el aliento, las nubes y el rocío. Como artista de la diáspora que se mueve entre el noreste de
los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico, es testigo de grandes oscilaciones en los cambios de temperatura y sus efectos sobre el agua, que
a veces refleja un sustituto metafórico de la propia fluidez del artista entre lugares y culturas. Éste es el caso de una imagen como
Condensation (San Juan Airport), en la que la luz del amanecer se refracta de un anillo de condensación formado en la ventana de
un aeropuerto, enfatizando los límites literales y fronterizos entre adentro y afuera, líquido y gas, noche y día, aquí y allá. Aunque las
fotografías de Báez aparentemente fijan momentos tan fugaces en la imagen , la artista sigue siendo consciente de la impermanencia

en una ventana.                                 The concepts of memory, preservation, and nostalgia are further explored in Báez’s short video, Holding Water, which despite
                                                its title, features no water at all. Instead, the work centers on two concrete shards from a building, painted in a cerulean tone.
                                                Though not identified in the video, these architectural fragments are from Báez’s collection of “Water Objects,” consisting of
   Los conceptos de memoria,                    pieces of glass, string, rocks, and other found odds and ends which she keeps in her studio. Passed between hands old and young
                                                in the video, the fragments, like Proust’s madeleine, draw forth memories as they are touched and caressed. As voices recount
preservación y nostalgia se exploran            personal stories, the blue shards seem to convert to water. As presented throughout the works in The Memory of Water, this
aún más en el cortometraje de Báez,             transformational capacity reflects the power of water to retain histories, leave physical and emotional traces, heal traumas, and
                                                resound in the minds, heart, and ears.
Holding Water el cual, a pesar de su
título, no muestra agua en absoluto. En cambio, el trabajo se centra en dos fragmentos de hormigón de un edificio, pintados en un
tono cerúleo. Aunque no se identifican en el video, estos fragmentos arquitectónicos son de la colección de «Objetos de agua» de
Báez, que consiste en piezas de vidrio, cuerdas, rocas y otros objetos encontrados que guarda en su estudio. Pasados en la película
entre las manos de viejos y jóvenes, los fragmentos, como la magdalena de Proust, traen recuerdos a medida que son tocados y
acariciados. A medida que las voces cuentan historias personales, los fragmentos azules parecen convertirse en agua. Tal y como
se presenta a lo largo de las obras de The memory of water, esta capacidad transformadora refleja el poder del agua para retener
historias, dejar huellas físicas y emocionales, curar traumas y resonar en la mente, el corazón y los oídos.

Raúl Díaz Reyes ha expuesto y recibido importantes becas
internacionales en España, Alemania, Estados Unidos, Rusia y Brasil,
siendo en este país donde ha desarrollado su creación en los últimos
años. Actualmente le representan galerías en Madrid, São Paulo y
Moscú.

Las obras de Raúl Díaz Reyes rompen las fronteras disciplinarias
haciéndonos entrar en una contemporaneidad rotunda en la cual
los lenguajes se alejan de la convención y nos invitan a conformar
una mirada panorámica de los entornos. La unión que establece con
la arquitectura, así como la mezcla de materiales, nos habla de las
ciudades en relación con sus habitantes como sistemas dinámicos
en movimiento y alteración constante. De este modo no hay límites
dimensionales, no hay leyes técnicas: la fotografía se contempla como
escultura, la pintura se adentra en ella. Los frutos de interacción y
cambio cuestionan los modelos expositivos, alterando códigos y
dando lugar a nuevos paisajes de posibilidades múltiples.

    Raúl Díaz Reyes has exhibited and received important
international scholarships in Spain, Germany, the United States,
Rusia and Brazil, being in this country where has developed its
creation in recent years. Currently, he is represented by galleries in
Madrid, São Paulo and Moscow.

Raúl Díaz Resyes’ work breaks the frontiers between disciplines,
taking us into a decisive contemporaneity, in which all languages
drift away from the standard and invite us to knock into shape a
panoramic look of our surroundings. The union that is established
with architecture, and the mash-up of materials, talks to us
about cities in relationship with their inhabitants as dynamic
systems in constant movement and alteration. This way, there

                                                                 raúl
are no dimensional limits, no technical laws: the photograph is
contemplated as a sculpture, and the painting gets into it. The
results of this reflection on the city as a place for interaction and
change question exhibition models, alters codes, and generate new
landscapes with multiple possibilities.
