DOROTHEA ROCKBURNE & BLANCA VARELA
Curriculum vitae
digamos que ganaste la carrera
y que el premio
era otra carrera
que no bebiste el vino de la victoria
sino tu propia sal
que jamás escuchaste vítores
sino ladridos de perros
y que tu sombra
tu propia sombra
fue tu única
y desleal competidora.
- Blanca Varela
- Trumpeting Angel T/R/sS, 1981

For almost 50 years, Brazilian-born New York–based artist Lydia Okumura (b. 1948), like her contemporaries Dorothea Rockburne and Robert Irwin, has explored the realm of geometric abstraction by challenging our perception of space in her sculptures, installations, and works on paper. In the 1970s, as a young artist in her native São Paulo, she was introduced to Conceptual art, Minimalism, Land Art, and Arte Povera through the Japanese art magazine Bijutsu Techou. These movements, along with Brazilian Concretism and Neoconcretism, influenced Okumura’s dynamic work in which she uses simple materials such as string, glass and paint to balance line, plane and shadow.
This handsome exhibition catalog, produced to accompany the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States at the University of Buffalo Art Gallery and to encourage a critical reassessment of Okumura’s oeuvre within art history, is a rich document of her minimal practice and independent vision. The catalog includes an essay on Okumura and her work by curator Rachel Adams; an account of vanguardism in Brazilian art from 1960 to 1975 by art historian Mari Rodriguez Binnie; a conversation between Adams and Okumura; and extensive photo documentation of Okumura’s work from the 1970s until today.

DOROTHEA ROCKBURNE & BLANCA VARELA
A media voz
la lentitud es belleza
copio estas líneas ajenas
respiro
acepto la luz
bajo el aire ralo de noviembre
bajo la hierba
sin color
bajo el cielo cascado
y gris
acepto el duelo y la fiesta
no he llegado
no llegaré jamás
en el centro de todo
esta el poema intacto
sol ineludible
noche sin volver la cabeza
merodeo su luz
su sombra animal
de palabras
husmeo su esplendor
su huella
sus restos
todo para decir
que alguna vez
estuve atenta
desarmada
sola casi
en la muerte
casi en el fuego
.
Blanca Varela.
Dorothea Rockburne, Open sesame: Sky Chart.
