Juxtapoz Magazine - Felipe Baeza: to feel a then and there @ kurimanzutto, Mexico City
Briefly

Felipe Baeza's solo exhibition, 'To feel a then and there,' features portraits, mixed media, and glass sculptures. Inspired by José Esteban Muñoz's ideas on queer futurity, Baeza's works depict bodies in transformation, lacking fixed identities and embracing change. Titles like 'A form that never settles II' emphasize constant flux. His creative process involves layering collected paper, allowing materials to express their autonomy, and eroding them for fluid outcomes. This technique mirrors the themes of transformation, construction of identity, and potential for alternative futures within his artwork.
Baeza's work functions as a collage, with bodies taking shape from collected paper fragments. "We are a combination of different times," says Baeza.
His creative process emphasizes fluidity, allowing materials to retain autonomy and undergo erosion, reflecting the shifting corporealities he portrays.
Baeza's titles, such as 'A form that never settles II,' underscore themes of constant change and beings in flux who reject stability.
The exhibition draws on José Esteban Muñoz's notions of queer futurity, proposing a shift to envision alternative futures beyond the present.
