Read our interview of the mexican artist Alejandro Almanza Pereda on our website (link in bio) or listen to it via IGTV.


"Hello Alejandro Almanza Pereda ! What are your main sources of inspiration ? And are there particular artists that inspire you in your work ?

I think that question is really difficult to answer because I think art making it deals well of course with other artists but it deals with things in life. And definitely we are an artist, we create, we question or we propose a different reality you know so I think I cannot answer that question easily. I think I can answer quickly how I become an artist or how art pushed me to make art. And it was my mother's fault. She took me to to see a retrospective of Alexander Calder in Mexico City and that really blew my mind so as we finished I made her bought a poster of Alexander Calder's work. I put it in my room and as soon as I finished putting it I stuck on getting tools and cutting cans and so that was like an insane influence on me."

"Est-ce que le contexte actuel vous a fait reporter ou annuler certains de vos projets ?

Par chance mes projets ont été maintenus pour la plupart et pas retardés donc ça c'était vraiment génial de pouvoir maintenir ces deux expositions principales. En ce moment Pollen à la galerie Laurence Bernard et ELLIPSE à la Maréchalerie, centre d'art à Versailles. J'ai pas été très impactée, ça m'a inspiré mais on a eu vraiment de très bonnes surprises en fait quant à la fréquentation des expositions. On a été hyper étonné de voir que le public venait, était content, on a eu des supers échanges donc plutôt encourageant."

"Hello Marcela Baltarete ! What are your main sources of inspiration ? And are there particular artists that inspire you in your work ?

I think my work starts out more as a kind of necessity rather than something that inspires me in particular. Because i use my work as a way of understanding my own body as well as distancing myself from my experiences - depression and chronic illness and gender dysphoria - by creating various enhanced digital versions of myself. So imagining alternative ways of kind of living through my work has proved very therapeutic. I am subconsciously inspired aesthetically by everything I see online like that is CGI or AI, AR, q***r work. And I cannot really pinpoint an artist or multiple artists that kind of inspire me but usually after I create something I go back and trace my steps to see what kind of inspired me to get there. So it is pretty much a backwards process of working"

"What does the current situation inspire you ? And does it influence or does it impact your work ?

Yes [...] the current situation is kind of interesting because during confinement we were also invited to do a digital group show. So we had like a lot of invitations from curators like to curate their instagram page or to curate like some live stream show what we did because me I spent my confinement with friends. We were like either creative or artist as well. So we did all together this live stream show. It was an abandoned tree that fall because of the storm so it was like a dead tree and we considered this piece to be as an exhibition space. And so it was really interesting because we took over like the dead nature. And we put like several points of view to our screens, phones or computers to have the possibility to catch all this art pieces that we did during the lockdown. And that was like you know you have to deal this way. For me it is like I always say to my friends who are really complaining about the current situation "You know just remind that it's really hard for everyone. But the one you are going to remember it's like the one who did something during that time". Because it is important to ... I mean maybe it is easy to say because me I am also struggling with my finance, of course with my money incomes. But at the end you know it proved that you can do a lot with a little also you know. And this was more and more coming to my art practice but because of the current situation it was again a way that I was like "Okay you have kind of no choice right now so how you're going to deal with that ? Just take what surrounds you again, just look a bit deeper you know like just look what you can find". And it is not arte povera you know but just you can do much, you can do big things but without having big resources"

"Quel rĂ´le attribuez-vous aux nouvelles technologies dans la production et dans la diffusion de vos Ĺ“uvres ?

(Rires) Pas facile comme question. Alors moi vu que je parle des nouvelles technologies dans mon film - enfin dans mes projets, dans mes films - j'aime quand même que ça reste assez simple au niveau du montage et au niveau de la façon de le montrer, parce que je trouve que déjà le sujet il est assez ancré en fait dans mon travail. [...] Je veux que ce soit d'une façon très simple pour garder justement un peu l'aspect social dans mon travail et pas le déshumaniser complètement.

Après là dans le dernier film que j'ai fait, qui s'appelle Opus, ça a été un peu une amorce de technologie. C'est que j'ai travaillé avec un ingénieur robotique donc c'était assez intéressant, parce qu'en fait j'ai fait danser des ouvriers et je leur ai refait faire leur mouvement. Et en fait on a placé des points virtuels sur certaines parties de leur corps et en fait l'ingénieur robotique a retranscrit en langage codé ces gestes pour les appliquer au robot, qui lui après les a appliqués et j'ai filmé etc. Ça, ça a été un peu une amorce de technologie dans mon travail."

David Bloch gallery is dedicated to emerging and established artists in Marrakech, with a focus on street and abstract art pieces - how do you usually come up with an exhibition? Are you curating all the shows?

I am indeed the curator of the gallery. The spectrum of artistic direction is very broad. Abstraction, geometric abstraction, optical art, symbolism, surrealism and even calligraphy .... I only exhibit what I like. Whether the artist is known or not. What counts is the energy and the talent, the truth of the work. The gallery promotes long-term artistic collaborations and has a major interest in the moral convictions of the artist and his work. Personal exhibitions are general on a bi-annual rate - in 10 years some of my artists have made 5 personal exhibitions. Regarding group exhibitions, I indulge my desires. The selection of works and the hangings are of the order of the obvious.

D; Would you instead work with the same group of artists, why?

D.B; This notion of promoting a group of artists over the long term is obvious to me. This is what gives my job meaning. I have the impression of this fact of being faithful to principles .... Things have been done like that over time. I started with a small core of artists in 2010 which has grown over time .... Even if the aim of the gallery is obviously to sell works, my first convictions are before human and aesthetic ... Establishing collaborations with artists over the long term is therefore obvious. I do not see this profession differently. I do not change my artistic direction according to fashions, successes or failures ... I insist, I impose, I am driven only by my convictions - more or less conscious ... In a deeper way, all this is the order of personal progress I have found nothing better to "disobey", this challenge is up to my dissatisfaction

D; Could you make a selection of your favourites artworks and why would they resonate with the current situation?

What would be the biggest challenge post confinement?

D.B; My notion of aestheticism in art is above all linked to

The first edition of INCAB biennale is taking place on April 4th in Casablanca. This international art event is designed for the independent and alternatives art entrepreneurs.
The expected 30 cultural agents from around the globe will discuss and envision the future of contemporary art practices through the lens of a new world including emerging countries in the globalized art discourse.
Although physical geographies seem to echo hostility, the utopic notion of world society has never been as technically reachable as it is through the digital. The internet has enabled a wider map of representations doubled with an instant way of accessing information.
