Noé Piña
@NOEPINA777

Noé Piña trabaja con materiales encontrados utilizados en la construcción, como ladrillos de terracota, clavos y fragmentos de madera, para crear esculturas e instalaciones que abordan las complejidades de mantener el equilibrio, desde lo personal hasta lo social y lo económico.

Noé explora la fragilidad, la precariedad en las cosas, la naturaleza y los sistemas, y cómo las fuerzas de la presión y el estrés permanecen en o producen el equilibrio.

Las instalaciones de Noé muestran un entorno que es a la vez un ambiente de equilibrio grácil y contrapeso crudo, generando así una sensación de tensión. El resultado es una anticipación de un desastre, la expectativa de una caída cataclísmica. A través de sus proyecciones de video, revela el resultado catastrófico de las piezas cuando colapsan al quitarles su fuente de equilibrio, estrés y peso, que suele ser los ladrillos.

Noé Piña works with found materials used in construction, using terracotta bricks, nails, and wood fragments to create sculptures and installations that address the complexities of maintaining balance, from personal to social to economic.

Noé explores the fragility, the precariousness in things, nature, and systems and how the forces of pressure and stress remain in or produce balance.

Noé’s installations display an environment that is at once an environment of graceful balance and crude counterbalance, thus a sense of tension. The result is an anticipation of a disaster, the expectancy of a cataclysmic fall. Through his video projections, he reveals the catastrophic result of the pieces when they collapse as Noé removes their source of balance, stress, and weight - that typically being the bricks.
