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

CONCRETE LIGHT
Nikolai Ishchuk and Fabiola Menchelli
June 5 – 21, 2020
Online Viewing Room

Originally conceived as a Summer exhibition in Los Angeles, CONCRETE LIGHT aims to relate the ways in which two artists develop a visual reference to, or extract influence from architecture in their photo-based work.

Nikolai Ishchuk (Russian, b.1982) and Fabiola Menchelli (Mexican, b. 1983) similarly explore post-minimalist and abstract approaches to architectonic landscapes using innovative photo-sensitive processes. Menchelli, through her multi-exposure echoes of Tadao Ando’s Oaxacan observatory, translates the curvature and contemplative experience of physical space into lunar impressions on paper — taking sculptural forms into the darkroom. Conversely, in his multi-panel compositions, Ishchuk distills the basic structures of spatial perception through cameraless and mixed-media techniques – letting sculptural and quasi architectural forms emerge from the darkroom.

VISIT THE EXHIBITION

Note: There are several full-screen visuals as well as a background audio component. While you can view the show on your mobile device, the optimum experience is on a larger screen.

I hope their work and the presentation provide a few moments of meditative respite.

– Douglas Marshall

ARQUITECTURA DE LA LUZ
La fotógrafa mexicana, Fabiola Menchelli, manipula la luz para crear una obra refinada y atemporal.
POR SANTIAGO TOCA URIARTE
Architectural Digest Mexico
Febrero 2020

Me gusta la sensación de no saber que estoy viendo, y me gusta más cuando va acompañada de la belleza – tal como la describiera el crítico Dave Hickey – de “estar frente a algo que siempre quise ver pero que nunca se me había presentado”. Lo bello, dice Hickey, hace reaccionar a nuestro cuerpo de manera tal, que nuestro intelecto quiere saber que está pasando. Por eso la belleza rompe con el orden establecido, altera el statu quo y cambia los cánones de lo que deseamos. Eso es lo que sucede estando frente a la obra de Fabiola Menchelli.

Una primera mirada hace evidente que se trata de fotos, al menos por un momento. Su superficie plana refleja la luz y se mantiene sobre el papel con un brillo y un aplomo que solo se logra mediante la fotografía natural. Su cualidad es única. Pero apenas descubierto el medio, de inmediato se desencadenan una serie de preguntas – la mente se cuestiona qué está pasando –, si se trata de fotografías, ¿cómo las logra? ¿Qué hace para obtener esa paleta de color tan particular? ¿De dónde saca esas composiciones tan únicas? ¿Cómo mezcla o superpone los colores? Algo sucede con sus piezas que, en el mejor sentido, no permanecen estáticas ante el espectador, sino que invitan a regresar una y otra vez a mirar.

El proceso de Menchelli es laborioso y su metódica construcción corresponde al de una verdadera artesana de la luz, quien superpone procesos y exposiciones para llegar al resultado final.

A su corta edad, la obra de Fabiola Menchelli ya ha reci¬bido un sólido reconocimiento dentro y fuera de México. Este verano presentará su primera muestra individual en la galería ProxyCo, mientras que la fotógrafa mexicana pasará el verano en Casa Nano, una residencia para artistas en Tokio, Japón. Ese es, hasta ahora, el recorrido ascendente de la artista y su poderosa arquitectura de luz.
