CAOSMOSIS (2025)
This link shows the record of the artist's studio for the exhibition Caosmosis, presented from November 2024 to January 2025. You can visit the URL of this exhibition in the gallery, or visit the sales sheet of the pieces on Artsy.
In this solo exhibition, Federico Jordán, as a medium, sets in motion the tortuous relation between intention and perception to travel through the poetic signs that humanity has left behind. In CAOSMSIS, the infective idea by Félix Guattari, the production of Jordán gives evidence of having been crossed again, even more prolific, between chaos and creation. The exhibition brings into view some of the concealed layers of human intervention that constitute our lives and invites the viewer into the furtive complexity of their own experience. Visit the gallery exhibition here.

VIDEO DOCUMENT
ARADO: : Walk and Terrain Drawings
by Federico Jordán-Gómez (2018)
Music by Luis Fernando Amaya. Documented by Jessica Nieto. Sponsored by Fundación Vanguardia AC. Federico Jordán-Gómez walks with a nineteenth-century agriculture tool and plows his imaginary over vacant lots. Arado (plow) is done on foot, focusing the perception and observation of the poetics of abandoned locations.
The set of these drawings are formed by ephemeral lines and circles that can only be documented from an universal perspective: the sky.
The essence of this project has its origins in what Francesco Careri has called nomadic and sedentary spaces: the first refers to unoccupied properties, while the latter are saturated with architectural structures and urban furniture.México.
