Sofía Clausse: Along the Lines

Kupfer Project Space

Kupfer is pleased to present Along the lines, the first solo show of Argentina-born
artist Sofía Clausse curated by Inês Geraldes Cardoso.

The exhibition brings together a series of existing paintings and ceramic works alongside an especially commissioned tapestry and new three-dimensional pieces that take as their starting point Clausse’s ongoing research into repetition, loops and cycles as tools for thinking through the power of mark-making and the incantatory potential of text.

Clausse’s practice is predicated on ends left loose, misbehaving tools, and ever-starting-never-ending loops that are systems unto themselves. A textile logic guides her works, which recurrently make use of cheap, readily available materials including paper, words, tape and markers, their results deliberately limited by the constraints of Clausse’s self-made tools and instruments.
Using the line as a scalable unit, her works explore a fluid interchange between text and textile, and spell and spelling. In Clausse’s hands, lines converge into meshwork and paths, and words are abstracted and made malleable to speak of time, movement and speed. New works explore the concept of infinite writing inspired by Aramaic corner bowls and medieval keys, expanding Clausse’s metamorphic materialism by casting spoken spells in three dimensions.

Sofía Clausse’s works occupy the protean space between seeing and reading, transforming the way language behaves by conjuring the power of text to move.
