Uncharted Territory: Jose Dávila

The exhibition format Uncharted Territory features each year in the eponymous project space a different international artist whose work engages with global processes of change and issues of migration, identity, and place. Jose Dávila (b. 1974 in Guadalajara) from Mexico is the second artist to be invited by the Hamburger Kunsthalle to conceive new works specifically for this space. For Uncharted Territory, Dávila will develop some of his signature fragile yet imposing space-filling installations. His sculptures play with the tensions inherent in physical forces, balance, and mass. Experimenting with the mutually supporting and opposing forces of various combinations of materials and forms, the artist creates constellations that are only stable as a coherent whole. An image of sensitive and elegant harmony is generated, which always resonates with a sense of vulnerability.
