In optics and astronomy, parallax describes a shift in the apparent position of an object, which depends on the embodied experience from which the object is observed. The cameraless images in this body of work begin in the darkroom, as light touches the surface of photosensitive paper and trace the contours of a physical object. Harnessing volatile techniques like multiple exposures and solarizations, Menchelli then constructs a macrocosmic image from layers upon layers of microcosmic experimentation. The scale of the resulting image is amplified, further exaggerating the figurative and literal distance between the object and its representation, the image becomes autonomous simultaneously pushing and pulling our own sense of perception.

Through an elegant balancing of sense and reason, touch, and recognition, Menchelli presents us with interior and exterior horizons of remarkable depth. The artworks in the exhibition arrive as an intimate reflection: an image looking back at us, touching us, facing us with immensity.

Marshall Contemporary is pleased to present an intimate survey of photographic works by Mexico City-based artist Fabiola Menchelli, her first solo exhibition on the West Coast. Utilizing a diverse range of processes, Menchelli explores the contemplative influence of internal and external space. Featuring work from two different periods including five new polaroid prints, the exhibition connects the underlying ideas in Menchelli ́s work, using the language of abstraction to reinterpret space through the medium of photography.

We have scheduled an online conversation between Fabiola Menchelli, and Douglas Marshall. Save the date March 21st at 12:00 L.A. time, 13:00 h. CDMX time through Instagram Live.

You can visit the exhibition in person if you are in LA or view the show online at this link: UNDER the BLUE SUN.

PROXYCO gallery presents
ARCO E-XHIBITIONS
March to June, 2021.

PROXYCO gallery is pleased to present Light Studies by Mexico City-based artist Fabiola Menchelli at ARCO E-XHIBITIONS.

Using the camera to transmute reality, Fabiola Menchelli combines diverse perspectives in a single plane, generating a dimension that exists only within the camera. The images from this body of work are constructed inside of the camera exposing the light-sensitive surface multiple times altering the object, shapes, and colors, thus generating different planes of light that are combined in the latent image.

The work reveals the subjectivity of the lens by conceiving the camera as a perceptual apparatus that points inside to create the image. Seeking to question the ontological nature of the photographic medium and elevate the space of representation beyond the paradigms of perception.

The exhibition Versus Fabiola Menchelli and Francisco Castro Leñero proposes more than an opposition a conversation between artists, visions, and mediums. The result is the encounter of a systematic process, a balance of control and freedom that has left a mark in the work. These meditative spaces—not only in the pieces themselves but also in the space created by the encounter of the two artists— open up before us like pathways. They become, in effect, points of entry. – Andrea Chapela
