PLANOS ATEMPORALES

Between the crumbling binary pillars of architectural failure and success lies the hazy grey area of “what-ifs”, possibilities that refute the comfort of certainty. In Planos Temporales, Tegeders paintings and drawings operate within this uncertainty to engender alter-futures and ultimately create safe space.  Tegeder’s work falls into these historical lineages, a structural homage to El Littitzkys Proun Room inhabits the middle of the main gallery. Designed by an all-female architecture firm, this structure acts as a receptacle for the artist’s work, inviting the viewer in to exist within a world all of Tegeders own, the structure within the larger schema of the gallery creating another space of refuge. Another aspect of  world-building can be found mapped out in Tegeder’s intricate works on paper, clustered colorful squares and circles vibrating among the linear scaffolding of the drawings. Other pieces, ranging from delicate drafts on vintage ledger paper to Calder-esque mobiles also inhabit the structure, floating shapes that translate the drawings into three dimensionality.

Planos Atemporales, an exhibition of paintings, drawings and mobiles at Arróniz in Mexico City were installed within a space designed by NOMAD, an all-female architecture firm in Mexico City in 2021.

Tegeder’s work in Planos Atemporales becomes an anti-promise, an expansiveness that allows simultaneously for multiple readings and keeps the metaphorical compass free of any determinate direction. As some areas of the drawings reveal stoppages in logical architectural “rules”, there emerges a fertile malleability, structures that champion inclusion and hold the viewer in a state of looking to a better future.
