ABOUT

For Adler Guerrier, the particular trajectory he traces through the world is the locus for a series of imbricated investigations of personhood, culture, image-making and art history. The path his practice tracks continually spirals outwards and away from the self. There are ideas to circulate, neighborhoods to traverse, histories to plumb. Narrative operates as a tool to order his archive of images, to pack and repack abstractions.

 

Guerrier produces layers upon layers. He moves freely between mediums, employing photography, drawing, collage, and sculpture. A stencil becomes a drawing. A discarded sign becomes a sculpture. A backyard becomes a jungle.

 

Guerrier’s site-specific installation for VOLTA is an abstract proposal for ways of thinking about what makes a place matter. His work is deeply grounded in Miami, his adopted home. Ordinary tropical foliage from Guerrier’s suburban Miami backyard appears as wallpaper, accompanied by a series of photographs and drawings. The photographs function not as documents but narrators, beginning a dialogic play between images, marks, words, and place. Home here becomes the lever with which to address the world.
