Rodrigo Valenzuela's 'New Works for a Post Worker’s World' at bricbrooklyn reflects his ongoing interests in examining industrial and post-industrial concepts of work and the contemporary realities of laborers. On view beginning 9/22 at BRIC House:
Rodrigo Valenzuela works across photography, sculpture, installation, and video to construct scenes that function simultaneously as documents and fictions, and that reflect his ongoing interests in examining industrial and post-industrial concepts of work and the contemporary realities of laborer. For his photographs, he constructs elaborate tableaux out of urban detritus, much of it found in scrap yards, such as cinder blocks, pipes, wooden palettes, corrugated metal, and two-by-fours.
Much of Valenzuela’s work acts as a critique of postcapitalism, social decline, and systems of oppression and authority. In the two series of photographs to be exhibited at BRIC House,, he conjures a post-worker’s world, as he speaks to the elimination of the individual laborer and imagines a workforce supplanted by the machines of automation, or engines that no longer require an operator and that rage when no one is watching.
Valenzuela will construct an architectural setting for his photographs in the Gallery at BRIC House that will symbolically evoke issues arising from his imagery. This sculptural aspect to the exhibition will itself reflect the artist’s own labor, and harken back to his experience as a construction worker upon his arrival as an immigrant in the United States. In addition to photography, the exhibition will also include a new video and series of sculptures by the artist.
