In “Integration Module” Omar Ibáñez presents two types of pieces that share a similar articulation when employing a modular piece: a circumference of a circle with a diameter of 19.6 inches. The first kind is displayed on a wall that was constructed for this show, aiming to explore the integration of painting, sculpture and Architecture. Through Geometry, this synthesis leads to a perceptual phenomenon. The sets of plans, depth, volume, colors and shadows in each piece contribute to the transformation of the artwork in accordance to the spectator's transition and depend on the angle from which the wall is being observed. These architecturally resolved pieces count with certain parallels with plastic integration tradition present in art and modern constructions in Mexico. The second set of pieces shown in Integration Module also offers a synthesis exercise, although it is limited to the relationship between the painting and the transformable object. These works imply change through the spectator's interference - only that in this case there is manual manipulation. This set of pieces precedes the ones integrated to the wall. The changes and variations among them demonstrate Ibáñez’ interest to add questions and to complicate the geometric study in his production. -
