The project \u201cBrujitas\u201d(withces) presented by the Colombian artist Santiago Reyes Villaveces is a research on a latent architectural sensibility that is evident in precarious structures; mostly visible in\u2014but not limited to\u2014everyday urban life in Latin American cities. The architectural mediations and structures of informal economies he addresses relate urban detritus, overlooked by-products of construction, and improvised temporary structures, underscoring a latent sophistication in anonymous ways of doing. The works that conform the project are sculptures, audio, and photographs that address different relations of temporal indetermination.<\/p>\n
For his solo show at Frieze Focus Reyes presents a \u2018family\u2019 of push cars made out of urban detritus and recycled ball bearings. \u2018Brujitas\u2019(witches) is the popular name given to this type of cars in Colombia\u2013. The Brujitas are working tools in informal economies systems use to generate value in the mobility and transport of goods. These structures embody a form in which a sophisticated \u2018simple\u2019 structure articulates a way of assimilating and resisting the informal economies that arise in the voids of the \u2018official\u2019 economic system. The artist activates these vehicles in the urban context of London (UK), Dubai (UEA) and Ambalema (Colombia) and their documentations and deployments are presented in the project \u2018Brujitas\u2019.<\/p>\n
