The Argentine curator and researcher transfers the works of renowned artists from her country to everyday furniture objects. With her Lalana project , she blurs the limits established between the artistic, the functional and the decorative. <span class="EOP SCXW71694765 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

As a way of expanding the possibilities of <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/ibiza-s-contemporary-art-scene-how-new-communities-are-crystallizing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contemporary art</a> towards other materials and forms, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lalana.appliedarts/">Lalana</a> was born in 2019 in Buenos Aires, Argentina to create objects that are both ornamental and useful, capable of transforming spaces and generating new ways of experiencing art. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;
With a wide repertoire of pieces, the rugs and tapestries that are made have captured the works of artists such as Roberto Aizenberg, R&oacute;mulo Macci&oacute; or Emilio Pettoruti, as well as collaborations with Diana Aisenberg, Adriana Bustos and Ary Brizzi , among other Argentine artists. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;

Throughout her career, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fiorcher/">Florencia Cher&ntilde;ajovsky</a> has been part of large projects. Between 2009 and 2016 her was part of the Pompidou Center in Paris , where she curated a variety of exhibitions. In recent years her work has evolved towards a more independent curatorship, holding the show Nubes de Paso, by Pablo Accinelli at the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA) and a group exhibition at the Museo Madre in Naples, Italy. 
Unlike paintings, which are seen from a distance, Lalana's textile creations can be felt and touched. The change in materiality is an important factor, which encourages us to connect in new ways with art. &ldquo;The transfer to another materiality, scale and spatial relationship involves us in new ways of connecting with the works. Without losing their aura, they occupy a territory where we can use them, touch them, walk around them, see them from any angle, even leaning against the image&rdquo;, stated the curator.

Lalana is focused on an artisanal and<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/how-to-bring-sustainable-living-into-everyday-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> sustainable</a> production , where there is no intervention of machines in the process: the spinning, weaving and dyeing are done by hand, which makes each design unique and different. Lalana 's production techniques come from and are made in northern Argentina , Morocco and Nepal, with local artisans who are experts in the field. <span class="EOP SCXW162551766 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;
