— too bold, too big, to far: Unrealized artworks become visible. Artists from all over connect.
While mobility is restricted, borders and distances are clearly perceptible and existential uncertainties
are omnipresent, more artistic works than ever remain in the state of planning. Whether it fails due to
lack of time, space or money or accompanies your artistic work for years as bold dream — we are looking
for your projects, which have not (yet) made it beyond their state as an idea, concept, draft or prototype.
With this exhibition we want to open up a space and visibility in terms of concepts, sketches, drafts, plans
and photographs. These papers will be presented at the art space BLECH. in Halle, Germany.
At the same time, despite current challenges and immobility, this format allows to present
and bring international artists together. Since many things cannot take place on location and in person,
there will be an online programm additional to the exhibtion. For an exchange and encounters, the
participating artists and their work will be presented and discussed on a digital platform.

ABOUT
Muriel Uribe is a young visual artist that was born and lives in Mexico City. She is currently studying a career in Visual Arts at “La Esmeralda”, the national school of painting, sculpture and engraving.
STATEMENT
My work is centered in language and how to breach its borders through imagination. Using common modes of encryption, such as drawing and writing, my artistic practice poses ways of tinkering and playing with the codes we use to understand each other and communicate. I am interested in exploring impossible and imaginary worlds, along with the new ways of understanding that could emerge within them. My drawings search innovative ways to tell stories, alternative approaches to reimagine reality and its connections, without boundaries.
We asked ...
What makes unrealized projects and works special to you?
Unrealized projects are a way of trusting my ideas rather than discarding them. This is what makes the unrealized special. All incomplete projects stay with me and change as I learn and grow, becoming somewhat prophetic, a series of bridges joining my past with my future.
What role do unrealized projects play in your artistic practice?
I tend to think my projects exhaustively before I do anything, which results on sketches scattered in my desktop, but little finished works. Since most of my projects are unrealized ones, I have learned to appreciate the impossible, and I am aware of how interesting ideas can be. I wish I wasn’t always lost in my thoughts, but at the same time, I love that the unrealized is flexible, always changing, always possible and always powered by imagination.
