     By morphing into curator/artist, artist/audience, psychiatrist/patient we took this discussion inside the space of the ‘regular person' in order to problematize the subject of madness as constitutive part of personality or ephemeral state that could be "cured".

    The spectator is initiated as an observer, but at the end of his way he will interact and participate with our oeuvre, or that of our alter-ego, “The Therapist”. Stultifera Navis is divided in two parts: In Situ and In Vitro. The first part is defined as the “open space” in which the “patients” roam free within the canvas space, contextualized by the observer to serve as experienced vision of the specimen (the artists) but, just as in the lab space, it can only be seen from the outside, since the particularity of this space lays in the fact that is all controlled by the Therapist (the curator of the show), alter-ego/fusion of Paola Torres and Rossana Mercado, who controls all the show with the exception of those small spaces within the frames of the paintings. In the other hand, In Vitro is the completely quantified, qualified, ciphered, experimental environment.

  • Rossana Mercado's Space

    (ENG)
    Rossana Mercado Rojas (b. 1982, Lima) is an artist and curator. She has been developing projects with Peruvian and European artists to investigate translation forms, (re)creating hybrid contexts generating dialogue between dissimilar societies—stretching curatorial and artistic roles. For her M.A. thesis, she worked with urban knitting in different socio-geographical circumstances, collaborating with art collectives Stickkontakt (Sweden) and C.H.O.L.O. (Peru). Other projects include: Medium Rare (Sweden, 2009)—in collaboration with Foro Latino, SAL (Latinamerikagrupperna) and FIANSverige—and the curated exhibition “Buitre: de Bulimias y Carroñas” (Lima, 2009). She is currently working on projects in Lima focusing on literature, social science and pedagogy. Mercado holds a B.A. from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru in the Arts (2008) and is expecting a M.A. from Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Curatorial Practice (Stockholm).
