  • ROBERT BRANDWAY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‘IMPACTO’ - IMPACT -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Suitcase with video ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2018 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 13,7 x 21,6 x 13,7 in⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Robert Brandwyn is interested in exploring the symbolic links of ancient family objects with the memory of the lineage. From photography and other contemporary forms, the artist explores a reconnection of the current and recent past with the far and old original sources to bring the echoes of symbolic mediation to our times.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We can see this in the work ‘Impact’, an installation consisting of an old briefcase and an Ipad that shows on its screen 2 boxes on a side table placed against a wall, where 2 images hang, one of them the painting 'Zohar', that portrays a wheel of 22 Hebrew letters.The pair of boxes painted in gold and bronze also appear as their own installation: two large cubes, their six sides have been completely invaded by the artist through text.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This type of work reinforces the importance of the bridges that the artist wishes to build.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ’Impact’ is part of the exhibition ‘El Tiempo del no Tiempo’, which is currently on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santa Marta.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #art #arte #contemporary art #artecontemporaneo #BrandwaynArt #jewishart #uniquestyle #brandwayn #mixmedia #contemporaryart #TiempodelnoTiempo
  • ROBERT BRANDWAYN⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‘MAPA III’ - MAP III -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mixta sobre Tela⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 39,37 x 39,37 IN⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2017⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the Semiologist, Curator and Art Critic, Dr. Víctor Fuenmayor, there are three possible key axes that would allow us a semiotic and cabalistic reading according to the symbolic links that Robert Brandwayn uses in his textual creation. That reading would imply the approximation based on three determining aspects in the construction of the textuality of the vital memory: places, people and links.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In reference to places, for Dr. Fuenmayor there are no places in Robert Brandwayn's work, but fragmented symbolic spaces, built and represented by the knot of threads of images intertwined with familiar figures, colors and writings that form the veil of the style.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The photographs show the illusion of real places, but Brandwayn's creative intervention transforms the place into a complex symbolic space, adding signifiers to the black and white photographic image (by veiling it, dotting it, tearing it, eroding it, coloring it) to adapt it to the symbolic construction, intertwined various systems: photography, painting and writing, to create the plurality of senses or polysemy of space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We see it in this work ‘Map III’, which is part of the exhibition ‘Time of No Time’, where there are no concrete geographies or architectures. Rather, there is a “mapped” geography, abstract and symbolic of his family wandering, possibly with marks of origin and displacement.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The interpretation will be located between the photographic referentiality of the place, the pictorial aggregates and the familiar characters that establish the affective and symbolic connections, leaving memorable traces that transform these places into spaces of the sense of vital memory.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #art #arte #contemporary art #artecontemporaneo #BrandwaynArt #jewishart #uniquestyle #brandwayn #mixmedia #contemporaryart #TiempodelnoTiempo

  • In the Curatorial text that introduces Robert Brandwayn's exhibition 'Time of No Time', Piedad Casas, Coach Curator, states that the 29 works that make up the exhibition, made between 2013 and 2019, constitute a sufficiently significant set to understand the concept of art that the artist manages. In her reading, everything starts from a briefcase containing letters, photographs, certifications and documents that belonged to his grandfather Israel Brandwayn, who in 1934 migrated from Zelechów, Poland to South America, a time when these objects were fundamental to endorse him before a new world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 85 years later, they are found by his artist grandson and taken out of the original time frame that gave them meaning, oblivious to the effects generated by the historical reality of a time between wars. For Casas, these objects undoubtedly acted as activators of a contemporary artistic response, in which an experience of a century ago, under an artistic process, acquires validity and a universal value to perceive the phenomenon of migration outside the linearity of time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #art #arte #contemporary art #artecontemporaneo #BrandwaynArt #jewishart #uniquestyle #brandwayn #mixmedia #contemporaryart #TiempodelnoTiempo
  • The media has made very good coverage of the exhibition ‘Time of No Time’ by Robert Brandwayn, currently on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santa Marta. We transcribe here the article of the Diario del Magdalena entitled ‘Time of no time’, when memory becomes art ’⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Exploring the theme of memory from the personal gaze of an artist is the mark that Robert Brandwayn leaves in his work ‘Time of no time’, who relives those moments of an immigrant family.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The exhibition to be inaugurated on July 24 in the Espacio Abierto Gallery of the Bolivarian Museum of Contemporary Art in the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, has the curatorship of the expert Piedad Casas, who on this exhibition says that in the case of Brandwayn , the starting point for this research and aesthetic exploration of family archives, was the silence in his father's life.It is a look at resilience, where the artist honors it as a tribute to life and memory.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this regard, the curator and art critic says that “The transdisciplinary training and hybrid culture of his family, lead Robert to want to identify, assimilate and recreate the vital essence of his lineage. The unenunciated questions, the places and characters without name, the letters and documents in different languages ​​and the photographic records that tell specific moments, were the ones that provoked the creative curiosity ”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The exhibition is free admission and integrates the 2019 cultural program of the Bolivarian Museum of Contemporary Art, a project supported by the National Cultural Concertation Program and the Ministry of Culture and the City Hall; It will be open until the end of September.
