New in: Henrjeta Mece "Lake, Island, Gulf", mixed media on plexiglass and wood, and amethyst (semi-precious stones), 11 x 12 x 11 cm, shop via https://zweigstelle.berlin/c/art-1/skulpturen-oder-sculptures/henrjeta-mece
This artwork makes reference to international performances of nationalism through name-change attempts of binational bodies of water like Lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico outside of bi-national collective agreements conflated with personal interests over Sazan island and disregard for one of the last untouched marine ecosystems in the Adriatic sea. The amethyst stones stand call for higher consciousness.
Henrjeta Mece is a cross-disciplinary artist, curator, and scholar. She is currently an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream at University of Toronto. Mece holds a Ph.D. from the same university and is the recipient of numerous awards. Over the years, her work has drawn on a variety of artistic practices such as, drawing, painting, and performance questioning the discourses of history and geography as languages in crisis and their play on production of identity and belonging. Her work has been included in several solo and group exhibitions in Canada, USA, Italy, Iceland, and Germany among other countries. Recently, Mece was selected amongst 200 artists to represent Central-Eastern Canada in Venice, Italy—as part of the world-wide Imago Mundi project initiated by Luciano Benetton.
