\"\"BARRO NY<\/a> is pleased to present \u201cManifesto of Immature Abstraction,\u201d an exhibition featuring the works of Ad Minoliti and Catalina Schliebener Mu\u00f1oz. This show explores queer approaches to abstraction through the use of colors and
\nshapes that articulate non-binary narratives which counter the coloniality of gender, sexuality, age, and interspecies life.
\nThe gallery space transforms into an abstract dialogue between queer representations of the animal that reinvent their forms by dismantling colonial imaginaries of the childish, immature, and naive. This deconstruction and critique allows the artists to challenge traditional narratives that intervene in the subjectivation of children, disorganizing and transcending through fantasy.
\nAd Minoliti\u2019s vibrant abstract compositions radiate a spectrum of hues, using
\ngeometric shapes to implicitly suggest faces and animal figures. These works invite
\nviewers into a speculative universe where childhood becomes the tool from which
\nto experience critical perspectives on artistic movements.
\nMeanwhile, Catalina Schliebener Mu\u00f1oz presents works made with vinyl
\ncutouts, colored pencils, and embroidery on mat boards and walls. Oscillating
\nbetween modes of sophistication and craft, the artist uses pastels and the texture
\nof embroidery to invite deep reflection on social and behavioral norms as well as
\ndefinitions of bodily normality imposed on children.
\nAcross their respective styles, both artists use abstraction to disorient childhood\u2019s symbolic straightness, the imperative of extroversion, and the adult- centric demand for seriousness and coherence of identity.\u00a0 Ad Minoliti employsgeometry and Catalina Schliebener Mu\u00f1oz uses fragmentation to reinterpret the role of the visual in the social construction of normality. These abstract deconstructions question the stereotypes of mass media, the historical canon of modern art, and contemporary geopolitical narratives, thereby contributing to the decolonization of the modernist social imaginary.
\nThe exhibition, in this sense, brings together a series of works that deploy
\nimmaturity as a methodology, revealing the complexity and fluidity intrinsic to the
\nhuman experience, beyond heteronormative, cissexist, and adult-centric
\nrestrictions. This use of queer critical potency emphasizes the constant challenge
\nand reinvention of queer identities and experiences, offering a profound critique of
\nthe natural, the animal, and the childish within the sociopolitical spectrum.<\/p>\n
