2023 08:57:42 +0000 mandyfranca.com https://mandyfranca.com/An-Area-of-Land-Dominated-by-Trees ‘An Area of Land&nbsp; Dominated by Trees’ In ‘An Area of Land Dominated by Trees’, Franca draws inspiration from the opening sentence of Wikipedia’s description of a ‘Forest.’ Through this&nbsp;exploration, she examines diverse realities and forms of intelligence that extend beyond humanity, encompassing contemporary technology and&nbsp;the natural world in a more-than-human context. Trees are social beings capable of complex communication, challenging the notion that intelligence is limited to humans. This prompts a re-evaluation of our relationship with nature and contemporary technologies, broadening humanity’s understanding of intelligence. Western society’s emphasis&nbsp;on individualism overlooks the importance of community, collaboration, and recognizing our interdependence. Emphasizing collaboration, fostering&nbsp;community, and understanding our interconnectedness is crucial for our survival. Within ‘An Area of Land Dominated by Trees’, Franca combines figuration with abstraction. Combining images captured with her iPhone alongside collage, painting and drawing. Creating a balance between encountering different places and temporalities, visualizing the emotions she associates with them. <img width="1750" height="1167" width_o="1750" height_o="1167" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c3fca9a905b05227331429cd6a37cf25adcbab7dbfef5d17d64a8fbdc932c695/LR.Mandy.Franca.Rijksopen2023.photo.by.sandervanwettum-1.jpg" data-mid="188490046" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c3fca9a905b05227331429cd6a37cf25adcbab7dbfef5d17d64a8fbdc932c695/LR.Mandy.Franca.Rijksopen2023.photo.by.sandervanwettum-1.jpg" /> <img width="1750" height="1167" width_o="1750" height_o="1167" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a890dc38ff7a946a478bb41a0d31cd1d2d6e8fbfe7f3ba89e06670acd0be515/LR.Mandy.Franca.Rijksopen2023.photo.by.sandervanwettum-6.jpg" data-mid="188490047" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5a890dc38ff7a946a478bb41a0d31cd1d2d6e8fbfe7f3ba89e06670acd0be515/LR.Mandy.Franca.Rijksopen2023.photo.by.sandervanwettum-6.jpg" /> Installation view: ‘An Area of Land Dominated by Trees’, Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam.

This group of sculptural wall pieces furthers Franca’s investigation into the nature of existence by which society and the human condition are mediated through the need and the inevitable consequence for living things to leave a mark in the world. Composed of a combination of multiple images of the sky taken with an iPhone, these elements remind us of her consistent interest in the Sublime. In combination with mark-making through oil pastels and oil sticks, the pieces reenact as a personal mark of existence in our current moment in time where human traces have mostly been made online. By combining and layering images, surfaces and pigments – a technique characteristic of Franca’s practice – the artist has worked directly onto textile with oil pastels and oil sticks varying in shades of yellow, orange and black. These works, as their title suggests, are an intentional visualization of commonness in the form of the sky and traces of living things by the artist's hands. Further emphasis and contrast is created through the intervention of the computer, which for Franca acts simultaneously to reveal the notion of human traces in our current reality. Recalling both the mark of existence in the form of physical mark-making, the computer led by the artist and the act of taking a photograph in a certain moment in time at a certain place, they come to symbolize that which binds life as a mark of existence. <img width="4184" height="4724" width_o="4184" height_o="4724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c5e54e2717d4bc771e4190a4c36697e2767e07c723fa94a0a90728a65e9d326e/2021_MANDYFRANCA_ASTATEOFBEING_INSTALLATION_0805_PRINT_EDITED_breed1.jpg" data-mid="125053455" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c5e54e2717d4bc771e4190a4c36697e2767e07c723fa94a0a90728a65e9d326e/2021_MANDYFRANCA_ASTATEOFBEING_INSTALLATION_0805_PRINT_EDITED_breed1.jpg" /> In a State of Being IIISatin silk, voile, oil pastels, oil stick, C-typeSize variable2021 <img width="3150" height="4724" width_o="3150" height_o="4724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/91ecd9d77e0e82af8e3d65783436ed4dd9d8c2eeb8066f69a3057afd62678893/2021_MANDYFRANCA_ASTATEOFBEING_INSTALLATION_0809_PRINT_UNEDITED.jpg" data-mid="122582174" border="0" data-scale="32" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/91ecd9d77e0e82af8e3d65783436ed4dd9d8c2eeb8066f69a3057afd62678893/2021_MANDYFRANCA_ASTATEOFBEING_INSTALLATION_0809_PRINT_UNEDITED.jpg" /> Close Up -

In this body of work Franca uses images of fruits in the form of symbols that are common on parts of the continent of South America and the Caribbean. The title CAJU / KASHU / CAYÚ refers to the many ways the same fruits within different South American and Caribbean cultures are known by different names. Using the Anacardium Occidentale also known as the cashew tree as a symbol of collective memory and underlying cultural connections.Exploring High Street where the gallery is located remotely from the Netherlands through the aid of Google search, Google Maps and Google Images in combination with her own archival photographs, Franca created a body of work consisting of works on paper, sculptures, images and audio. Using multiple images of grocery shops on High Street via Google Maps and zooming in on the display of fruits outside of these shops, reminding her of fruits used as symbols in historical still life paintings. She further delves into the symbolism used within still life paintings by displaying different uses of textile in combination with photographs of fruits, where her sculptures then function as sculptural forms of iconography taking inspiration from the Brazilian 19th century still life painter Agostinho José da Mota. Seeing places such as grocery shops in multicultural neighbourhoods and marketplaces as places of exchange within different cultures, Franca created an audio piece consisting of recordings of different markets in the multicultural city of Rotterdam and the floating market of Curaçao in the Caribbeans. Curaçaoan natives recognize these fruits in Agostinho José da Mota’s paintings by their names in Papiamentu. A language spoken on the island of Curaçao, where Franca’s family is also from. Showing the mutual bonds in terms of (food) culture between South America and the Caribbean and the importance of cultural and generational exchange. Taking the opportunity to create a place where people inhabiting these places of cultural richness on a western continent could come into a gallery space and be able to ‘read’ the works as a collective language. Creating a space for a wide audience and displaying connections between different South American and Caribbean cultures living in Harlesden, as a means of showing common ground. With this work, Franca furthers her interest in the ever fluid state of languages, traditions and (digital representations of) objects in a state of flux. <img width="6000" height="4000"

https://mandyfranca.com/It-s-Six-Minutes-to-Five-Somewhere ‘It's Six Minutes to Five Somewhere’ Through objects we can extend our thoughts, knowledge and body.Current technology like the smartphone creates an opportunity for us to extend ourselves across the globe in space and time. I can be present in different places at different times simultaneously, being disembodied. In this way, we, but also our traditions, language and digital representations of objects, are in a constant flux traveling to different places. Through contemporary technology like video calling and text messaging, traditions, language, and objects can exist in multiple places at the same time. I can be present in Amsterdam and Curaçao at the same time by video calling my father at 18:00 in Amsterdam, while where he lives it is 12:00 in the afternoon. I find comfort in connecting with family and seeing ‘my other home’ on a different continent. Sky, water, and trees present on different continents connecting us across the globe. The building blocks of life are viewable either through the help of the internet or out of my own window. With the idea of care and comfort being a basic component of being, my goal is to set the individual experience in a larger communal context and demonstrate the connection between common objects, experiences, place and time. ‘It’s Six Minutes to Five Somewhere’ consists in various forms. The first is a video correspondence between myself and my father Clenson Franca living in the Caribbean. The videos were both taken with a smartphone on a Thursday afternoon; one in the Netherlands and the other in Curaçao, combined with a reading of my own text. The second is a series of paintings in oil pastel on paper. The photographs were taken during a flight to Curaçao, on the island itself and in my current residence in the Netherlands. Finally, I present a Google Docs correspondence with writer/curator, Delany Boutkan, on social artefacts, digital intimacy and collectivity, ‘disembodied’ forms of togetherness online, and the notion of touching someone without touching in the times of the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath.

A Google Docs correspondence with Delany Boutkan As part of my graduation project for the MA Print at the Royal College of Art in London (UK), I started a Google docs correspondence between myself and Design Curator/Writer Delany Boutkan. With a common interest in circulating digital cultures myself and Delany decided to start a conversation on social artefacts, digital intimacy and collectivity, 'disembodied' forms of togetherness online and touching someone without touching in times of the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Text/Video Word count 4062 / 5’46” 2020 In Collaboration with: Delany Boutkan: Design Curator and Writer https://mandyfranca.com/Solace Sun, 05 Apr 2020 15:29:56 +0000 mandyfranca.com https://mandyfranca.com/Solace Solace In an era where online voices are loud and pervasive, Solace delves into the concept of travel as a place of stillness. The multi-channel video installation is an exploration of how our traditions, objects, and languages move with us, forging spaces for spiritual solace.&nbsp;Solace reflects on the unique tranquility found in flying—a rare moment where distractions dissolve, compelling us to embrace stillness and introspection. This enforced pause becomes a place that enables an immersive engagement with the present moment. The installation comprises three screens displaying slow-motion videos, reminiscent of colourfield paintings, evoking a meditative visual experience. The accompanying soundscape of constant white noise shifts in the second minute to make place for people joyfully singing in Papiamentu before fading back into white noise again. In Solace,&nbsp; cultural identity intertwines with the transient nature of travel and the state of being in flux. Installation view: Solace, Southwark Park Galleries, London.
