Son ​objectif est d’explorer la convergence ​entre l’art traditionnel “low tech” avec des ​supports technologiques.

Profondément avant-gardiste, ​Revolú Gallery explore les limites de la ​pensée philosophique, de l'identité et de la ​confluence des points de vues, incluant, ​sans s'y limiter, les Américains non natifs et ​leur diaspora, les femmes, la communauté ​queer, ainsi que plus largement les ​anticonformistes du monde de l'art ​traditionnel. En portant ces récits variés, la ​galerie témoigne de son engagement en ​faveur d'un dialogue riche qui dépasse les ​récits artistiques conventionnels et ​embrasse la complexité de l'expérience ​humaine, tout en remettant en question la ​prédominance de la perspective ​occidentale et de la langue anglaise dans ​le monde de l'art.

Press Release Information

For Immediate Release • March 18th, 2024

"Odas Marinas: The Ocean Unbound" - Illuminating the Ocean's Cultural and

Environmental importance through the artists' lens.

NEW YORK, NY - Wind Support’s Skippers Lounge at South Street Seaport proudly presents ​“Odas Marinas: The Ocean Unbound,” curated by Allicette Torres. This captivating exhibition ​explores the profound and complex relationship with the ocean from April 4th to May 31st, 2024.

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, April 4th, from 6 pm to 8 pm.

at the South Street Seaport 189 Front New York, NY 10038

This exhibition melds diverse cultural perspectives and artistic mediums, featuring the works of ​three international-facing artists—Mario Tauchi, Capucine Bourcart, and Allicette Torres. This ​exhibition weaves together a tapestry of cultural narratives, artistic expressions, and ecological ​contemplations to illuminate the intricate interplay between human life and the boundless ​majesty of the ocean. Through this showcase, the artists engage in a profound dialogue, sharing ​their deeply personal and transformative encounters with the sea, inviting viewers into a world ​where art and the aquatic realm converge.

Tauchi, through his unique fusion of Asian Mandalas and Western modern art, reflects on the ​enduring impact of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima disaster, focusing ​on the challenges of contamination management and the debate over releasing treated water ​into the ocean. With a forthcoming wall drawing performance, he will explore the balance ​between human action, environmental responsibility, and our vulnerability to natural disasters and ​technological excess.

Fascinated by the ocean's diversity, mystery, power, and vital role, the Bourcart series of mixed-​media paintings explore its grandeur. Her works are a visual reflection of interactions with the ​sea, its force, and natural elements. Among them, there’s a poignant reminder of the smallness of ​our humanity in the face of its immensity and the humility it imposes on us.

These pieces are literal and authentic because they incorporate natural materials such as sand, ​shells, and feathers she collected from the natural world; they invite the viewer into a visual sensory ​exploration.

Torres’ video projection, drawing inspiration from the Puerto Rican ethos “Las playas son del pueblo” ​(The beaches belong to the people), offers a visually poetic journey through the communal battle ​against privatization and environmental damage, embracing the notion that land and water belong ​universally to no one.

It is a powerful advocacy piece for preserving beaches as a shared natural heritage belonging to all, ​highlighting the imperative to protect these spaces from exploitation and preserve them for the ​common good.

“Odas Marinas: The Ocean Unbound” is more than an exhibition; it calls for pause and consideration. ​Through a curated selection of works that span the marine environment’s emotional, conceptual, and ​political spectrum, the exhibition challenges perceptions and urges us to reconsider our role in ​fostering a sustainable and harmonious relationship with the ocean.
