NATALIA
CALDERÓN
Natalia Calderón is an artist whose practice explores line as an embodied and relational form. Working across drawing, print, textile, and video, she investigates how gestures, materials, and environments generate shifting spatial and political conditions.
Living and working in the cloud forest of Veracruz, her work is informed by the fluid and interdependent structures of fog, mountains, and rivers. These conditions shape her approach to image-making as a process of movement, repetition, and transformation rather than fixed representation.
Calderón’s work challenges the stability of form and medium, engaging processes of translation, displacement, and reconfiguration. Through these operations, her practice remains open, mutable, and continuously in the process of becoming.
Lines in Transit
Lines in Transit approaches the line not as a fixed form, but as a trace that moves, transforms, and emerges. In Natalia Calderón’s work, lines are not simply representational tools, but events generated through bodily movement, repetition, and contact with material.
These lines migrate across drawing, print, and video, continuously shifting their form and context. The exhibition brings together original works transported from Mexico alongside print-based works re-materialized in Korea from digital files. This coexistence of physical transfer and mediated translation reflects “transit” not only as a conceptual theme, but also as a condition of production and display.
Rather than representing forms, lines function as a minimal language that reveals invisible movements and relations. The exhibition presents a body of work shaped through processes of movement, translation, and re-materialization.
