Relaciones Públicas was founded in 2018 as a site-specific exhibition program and an agency for its fellow artists. It was born as a response to the curatorial necessities of the scene it belongs to and as an important catalyst in the creation of ambitious, experimental exhibitions, especially in the first years of the artists’ careers. 
    RP is an entity that has built upon the agency of self-organization as a method for the accomplishment of independent, collaborative projects.
    The project depends on the support of sponsors for each one of its projects and continues to build a network of committed supporters. RP is an active participant in the changing needs of its generation, and it is known for its key curation of exhibitions.

 arteBA: Samuel Nicolle

UTOPIA
Stand 16
27 - 31 AGO
2025

RP se emociona y enorgullece de presentar a Samuel Nicolle para nuestra primera participación en arteBA.
ESP











 Un hilo conductor en la práctica de Nicolle podría ser la frivolidad. Esta cualidad, a la vez ligera y subversiva, nutre y estructura su trabajo, el cual se basa en nociones de la teoría queer, como la citacionalidad, la iterabilidad, la desidentificación y la reparación.

La afinidad de Nicolle por lo frívolo refleja su interés por las formas eclécticas, inconstantes y volátiles. Su obra incorpora referencias a la historia LGBT —y sus figuras-, al amor —y sus canciones—, a los decorados - cinematográficos—, al diseño —de interiores—, a la arquitectura, a la entomología, a la botánica, a la amistad, a la teoría —ornamental— y a la cultura —popular—.

Las obras de Nicolle suelen desplegarse en forma de «cadenas de transformaciones», secuencias evolutivas de la obra a lo largo del tiempo. Estas secuencias dan lugar a esculturas solemnes que se metamorfosean en performances —a veces desconcertantes o frustrantes—, las cuales desembocan en instalaciones-ambientes o en fanzines extravagantes y viceversa—. Estas oscilaciones entre formas parecen responder a un objetivo: imaginar y construir mundos que el artista desearía ver políticamente posibles, espacios donde los márgenes se conviertan en un centro.

ENG
A guiding thread in Nicolle’s practice could be frivolity. This quality—both light and subversive—nourishes and structures his work, which draws on notions from queer theory such as citationality, iterability, disidentification, and repair.

Nicolle’s afinity for the frivolous reflects his interest in eclectic, unstable, and volatile forms. His work weaves together references to LGBT history—and its figures—, to love—and its songs—, to cinematic sets, to interior design, architecture, entomology, botany, friendship, ornamental theory, and popular culture.

Nicolle’s works often unfold as “chains of transformation,” evolutionary sequences of the piece over time. These sequences give rise to solemn sculptures that metamorphose into performances—at times disorienting or frustrating—which then evolve into immersive installations or extravagant fanzines, and vice versa. These oscillations between forms seem to respond to a singular goal: to imagine and construct worlds the artist wishes to see politically possible—spaces where the margins become the center.
