The minimalist presentation emphasizes precision and utility, while the subtle detailing hints at López's fascination with transforming everyday objects into conceptual reflections on time and order. By merging the ruler and calendar into a single object, López invites viewers to consider the relationship between measurement and the passage of time, highlighting how common tools shape our understanding of structure and continuity.

- Mateo López

Mateo López (b. 1978 Colombia) is a contemporary Colombian artist known for his multidisciplinary approach that blurs the boundaries between drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance. López’s work is characterized by its exploration of space, time, and narrative, often employing everyday objects and meticulously crafted drawings to create environments that invite viewers into a world of imagination and reflection. His intricate, detailed drawings frequently serve as blueprints for larger installations, where the line between two-dimensional and three-dimensional art is intentionally obscured. López often integrates elements of storytelling and personal history into his work, using his artistic practice as a means of navigating memory and experience. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at prestigious venues such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the São Paulo Biennial, making him a significant figure in contemporary Latin American art.

What is Process Art?

Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
