SP2 is pleased to announce the opening of Luz Peuscovich’s new solo show. The exhibition CHRYSALIS presents several series of works as the result of a two-year investigation of minerals and crystals. The process of growing crystals entails a constant element of surprise, since minerals are very sensitive to the environment - humidity, temperature and especially vibrations. All these factors have an effect on the ordering of the molecules that compose the crystals and also the possible changes over time. Through trial and error, Luz observes and analyses the materials, facing the perpetual uncertainty of the result, constantly adapting and transforming her working process. In her practice with astrology, Luz investigates our relation with symbols. The creation of symbols is linked with a process of healing, used as energetic inspiration for the exhibition pieces and as a way to integrate the knowledge and experiences within her practice.

For this first exhibition on mineral research, Luz has chosen to show a multiplicity of experiments in different formats: framed works, masks and costumes, sculptures and a site specific installation called Chrysalis.
