Catalina Le\u00f3n\u2019s latest output took inspiration from research into ritual feasts and religiosity
by French anthropologist Jean Duvignaud. He describes \u2018useless sacrifice\u2019 as a casual act
that allows the self to shed impositions and open up to the infinite. This publication
accompanies Catalina Le\u00f3n\u2019s intimate work with a text by curator Alejandra Aguado and
fragments of a conversation between artist and curator. \u2018When I set up an installation, I don\u00b4t
make it solely to be seen in full, I try to lay out the space and artworks in such a way that
they can convey the impulse that drove them to be made to the person experiencing them,
and so they can be used as references. I inhabit the space and make the works to
encourage myself to act in life. \u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018I spent hour lurking quietly next to the canvases and fabrics in this exhibition, sometimes
sitting on them, without being able to do much more than just be. And then I am taken by
surprise by abstraction and the fact that the work won\u00b4t let me go further than a certain
point, regulating the strength and impulse in a new act of moderation. \u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
