About the Item

"Shimmer Grid" is one work consisting of nine drawings on a European Din A3-size paper (each paper: 42 x 29.7 cm; each frame: 45 x 32.7 cm; the total installion of three frames in three rows: 145 x 108.1 cm). It has been exhibited in Uriarte's mid-career-survey that was shown in the Kunstmusem Reutlingen. Konkret in 2019. Our business world undergoes a constant evolution through specialization and steady improvement. And comparable to that Ignacio Uriarte is drawing works that are more and more refined. His "Shimmer Grid" certainly has reached a very high level of quality. Because, just by varying the quantity of blue, red, or green in the mixture of the same colors, he creates a shimmering effect that let us experience nuggets instead of just simple scribbles with a (document proof) pen that we all do occasionally, while enduring a boring telephone conversation or meeting. In general, Uriarte (*1972 in Krefeld, lives in Berlin) is dealing in his work with the topic of the daily office-routine and he is working with / deconstructing materials that can be found in any kind of office. With these materials he creates drawings, installations, photographs and other works that have a poetic quality and that deal with questions of time, structure, order and monotony as they do deal with the creative potential in seemingly inefficient minutes at work, when – for instance – during a conversation one of the participants scribbles on a pad. With his conceptual approach as well as by using the materials of the office, he is creating a Dadaist link between the two worlds of work and art. Uriarte began his professional life working in commercial companies like Xerox or Siemens. At a certain moment in his life he decided that he could not stand any longer his daily routine in the office. Thus, he decided to become an artist – mainly self-taught, partly with an academic education in video and film. He is enjoying a lot of success since this monumental change of direction. His works have been shown in a lot of international solo- as well as group-exhibitions: Art and Alphabet at Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg (g); EchtZeit, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Bonn (g); Bürozeit, Kunstmuseum Villa Zanders, Bergisch Gladbach (s); Drawing now, Albertina, Vienna (g); The Bottom Line, SMAK Ghent (g); The sound of a line, Fondation Hermès, Tokyo (g); Unos y Ceros, MARCO, Vigo (s); Binaries, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Salt Lake City (s); Line of work, The Drawing Center, New York (s); Arbeitsraum, Deutsches Architektur Zentrum, Berlin (s); Origo, Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna (g); WORKS, Centre d’Art La Panera, Lleidao and Sala Rekalde, Bilbao (s); Rotation 2, Ruler Space, Helsinki (g); Quatre sets de geometria I un full de paper, Arts Santa Mónica, Barcelona (g); Preferiría no hacerlo, Casa des Lago, Mexico City (g); Bürokünstler, Leopold Hoesch Museum, Düren (s); Verwaltungstakte, Stiftung für konkrete Kunst, Reutlingen (s); 210 x 297 cm, Kunstraum Lakeside, Klagenfurth am Wörthersee (s); xyz, Museo ABC, Madrid (s).
