the greenhouse artlab hosted CONSTELACIONES art collective for a residency from January 13 to January 31.

Artist biography:

Drawing from interdisciplinary practices that include sculpture, performance, installation, sound and video, artists Roewan Crowe, Doris Difarnecio, Christina Hajjar, Monica Martinez and Helene Vosters engage in a process-based, trans-hemispheric collaboration. Among other projects, CONSTELACIONES travelled to Chile’s infamously storied Atacama Desert to install a large set of vibrant ceramic forms, created by Martinez, embodying stratified layers of Chilean history, and diasporic and nomadic trajectories resulting from the 1973 coup. View their digital book, Return Atacama (HemiPress, 2019), edited by Roewan Crowe and Helene Vosters.
