Taller Álvaro Cabrejo
Álvaro Cabrejo
Textile, painting, installation, drawing, and printmaking
This atelier primarily operates as an archive, repository, and/or collection (both documentary and fictional) of materials and devices that produce or have been part of Álvaro's artistic practice. The space adapts according to the needs of each project, meaning it can be transformed in a makeshift manner (constructed with whatever is at hand) according to the requirements expressed by each project. It has served as an experimental laboratory for both classical and unprecedented techniques in painting, graphics, and installation, as well as a recording studio for sound and video. It is located on the fourth floor of a residential neighborhood house, adjacent to a micro-artisanal factory of traditional sweets. Situated in the southwest of Bogotá in the La Libertad neighborhood (Bosa), a working-class and peripheral area that provides access to a variety of raw materials such as woods, metals, plastics, glass, among other construction materials; ateliers for welding, mechanics, tailoring, etc.
