“Do Not Cry Over Spilled Dreams: Portrait of a Consumer”
July 9 – July 31, 2010

Opening Artist Reception Friday July 9, 2010, 6 pm – 8 pm
Patricia Tinajero installation artist

Artist Patricia Tinajero from Ecuador will explore the nature of things  thru video and experiential installation.  Tinajero is interested in objects as the product of metamorphosis, in particular the recycing of object, the capacity of those objects to survive cycles of production and consumption, use and abuse. Exploring the regeneration process reconciled in the dialectical understanding of process of the artist, these discarded materials weave into sculptural forms which become installations. 

The sculptural installation Do not cry over spilled dreams are a series of structures made out of milk cartons, newspaper, handmade cotton paper from recycled blue jeans, and linen..  They are inspired by quilting techniques and approached from the tradition of salvaging and using all remains from materials, which makes this process significant & effective in terms of how recourses are used. 

Patricia Tinajero  has exhibited at the  Museum of contemporary Art, Denver, 10+10 Biennial, curator Cidney Payton, Museo de la Cultuira Parque de lost Enanitos, Biennial of Women Artists, curator Pilar Toban, Venezuela, and the  Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art .

RedLine Exhibit “Artist’s Footprints” will also  include artist Patricia Tinajero in partnership with the Biennial of the Americas 2010.
