ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Remains of demolished buildings wrapped with emergency blankets at Northerly Island. Northerly Island is an artificial island located in Downtown Chicago that was built in 1925 to host the fair “Century of Progress” and later on the Meigs Field Airport. In 2003 the airport was destroyed and the concrete pieces of architecture were discarded into the Michigan Lake. Over the time and due to the lake currents, those remains stacked into the edge of Northerly Island creating a kind of second and unstable peninsula which is currently abandoned and not open to the public. In this project I was interested in wrapping the concrete “garbage” of the island using a reflective material as a second skin. This superficial action that felt undoubtedly motherly was meant to work as a beautification process in an area that was consciously left behind.

Maria Burundarena was born in Paris, France, and grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is currently based in Chicago, USA. She is a visual artist and educator who has developed work as a textile designer and photographer printing different narratives in diverse objects and environments such as garments, sculptures, installations and LED screens. Maria's work is currently focused on installations using large scale photographs, light projection and reflective materials. Like water and light, the image is something that is flexible and does not have a frame or a shape. While contouring the spaces that are given, Maria explore the boundaries of the image as a material itself. Looking to question our relationship to how we experience and understand what we are seeing, our depth of feeling.
