Five Visions: Benjamín Dominguez, Nicolás Leiva, Leonel Maciel, Manuel Mendive, Cristina Piceda
Ruiz-Healy Art is please to present an exhibition Five Visions, featuring Benjamín Dominguez, Nicolás Leiva, Leonel Maciel, Manuel Mendive, and Cristina Piceda. An exhibition -like a building-, requires focus and intense planning. When considering the artists for the November 2007 exhibition, Patricia Ruiz Healy had in mind individual high quality art, a variety of images and materials, and a succession of expressions that would enhance the viewers' experience through the visual arts. Although it seems that such an experience just 'happens' it is an elaborated process, a combined relation between stimuli and perception. Stimuli provided by the artworks, and even the way they are set up together. Perception -which seems to be natural and just happening-, is a much more elaborated activity in which physiology and psychophysics have to do. An exhibition at an art gallery needs to take sales into account just as much as education, including stimuli and perception. If those elements don't go together, the exhibition lacks depth. An art exhibition is a communication resource that has to do with sharing, expanding the spirit, adding new ideas and experiences. Benjamín Domínguez, Nicolás Leiva, Leonel Maciel, Manuel Mendive and Cristina Piceda will guide us through the aforementioned paths.
