Liene Bosquê starts from the body’s encounter with architecture and the environment to create traces, impressions, conflicts and reflections of this relationship. In a work that imbues the material with history, memory and an intense sensorial experience, the artist combines remnants of what has gone and traces of what is to come.
Based in Miami (USA), Liene Bosquê (Garça, SP, 1980) explores sensory experiences within natural, urban, architectural and personal spaces. This includes sculptures, objects, installations and site-responsive projects, in an often archaeological process in which she emphasizes the memory and history of spaces in a way that makes them seem tangible. Liane often uses materials that can be transformed and take the form of a mold, or that are capable of receiving an impression. Thus, through installations responsive to the exhibition site and the use of malleable materials, rigid architectures are transformed into fragile surfaces, revealing histories, voids and absences, the passage of time and how we perceive the idea of place. Textile techniques and molding have thus been the core of an artistic practice that explores a range of fibers such as cotton, silk and linen, and mediums such as rust, clay, wax, plaster and latex. Her recent output includes collaborative projects with communities, a larger investigation into the natural environment and ecosystems, and sustainable perspectives for the future. She has won important awards and residencies, and her work has been exhibited at institutions such as MoMA PS1, Museum of Contemporary Photography- Chicago; Frost Art Museum- Miami; Carpe Diem in Lisbon- Portugal, among others.
