Biennale Arte 2024 - Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Participatory Experience. Juvenal Ravelo.
Discover the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela by Juvenal Ravelo at the 2024 Venice Biennale Arte ‘Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere’.
This project is a tribute to the master of kinetic art and sociologist of art at La Sorbonne with over 70 years of national and international research and artistic production defending the cultural component of art in society. On a two- dimensional level, his proposal focuses on the study of light, colour, and form in a dimension of optical illusions. In this space he “fragments” and deconstructs the chromatic spectrum through a sequence processed by different means, to invite the viewer to reflect and interact with the visual effects. Each artwork constitutes an innovative installation conceived ad hoc. The artworks integrate the artist’s diverse research on light, an essential part of his artistic thought and visual language. The exhibition uses new means and technologies to create an immersive, participative, and sensory experience by putting together some of the artist’s concepts: the effect of double exposure; optical instability; fragmented light; the environment of colour activity; light and colour in the new millennium. Three artworks that communicate between the analogic of the art-participatory, the kinetic environment, and digital art. It is an encounter with the physical experience of light and colour through dynamic interactions.
