Trabajamos en colectivo desde el año 2006. Nuestro trabajo interpela las estructuras, relaciones y funcionamiento del arte, así como sus entornos de circulación, principalmente en nuestro contexto local. El objetivo de repensar constantemente estas construcciones, nos permite un territorio de actuación donde el desmantelamiento es un paso de varios hacia una posición afirmativa.
Por esto, nuestra práctica no siempre se encuentra dentro del estatuto de obra, visual o tangible y su circulación se ha visto alternada entre entornos institucionales, espacios no convencionales, el espacio público, o bien contenida en las relaciones y tramas que se establecen entre los diversos universos.
Hemos participado en diversas exposiciones en el Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales (Montevideo, Uruguay), Plataforma-Ministerio de Educación y Cultura (Montevideo), Centro de Exposiciones Subte (Montevideo), Memorial de América Latina (San Pablo, Brasil), Instituto de Pedagogía del Arte de la Universidad Goethe (Frankfurt, Alemania), entre otros.

EUGENIA GONZÁLEZ (MONTEVIDEO, 1983)
We’ve been working as a group since 2006.
We’ve done projects and exhibited artworks in non-conventional spaces, public spaces and institutions such as: Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales (Montevideo, Uruguay), Plataforma Ministerio de Educación y Cultura (Montevideo, Uruguay), Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo (Montevideo, Uruguay), Marta Traba Gallery (San Pablo, Brasil), Art Pedagogy Institute at the Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany), among others.
The scenarios chosen for the circulation of our both institutional and non institutional projects and artworks are not chosen by chance but on purpose, since those scenarios are an essential part of our projects, as we try to analyze their structures, relations, and functions.
We believe in the constructiveness of the action of re-thinking the space in which art happens. We live in a specific time and space, and we act accordingly.
Our mode of production is diverse. Generally we make actions that lead into objects, installations, public interventions, or curatorial projects. The appearance of the artwork should collaborate or enhance its intensity, but it is not a goal in itself.
Our artworks, methods, mechanisms and discourses may have already been used, but using what has already been produced, boosts the future construction. Similar answers can be used to solve different problems.
We usually work with other people involved in the «Arts field», since we believe that collaboration amongst peers is valuable and the construction collectiveness is primordial.
Interference as an action which alters a normal course that can later return or not to its original position, is a process that allows us to transform and evaluate events.
