Edgar Cobián (born in Guadalajara, 1978) and I (Lucía Vidales, born in Mexico City, 1986) met in October 2020, invited by Enrique Hernández to Residencia 797, a space in Guadalajara dedicated to generating encounters and dialogues around painting. On that occasion we also enjoyed the complicity of Rigo Campuzano, who in turn runs the residency Casa Brasil in the same city. This exhibition shows part of what resulted from that meeting, throughout three weeks of sharing afternoons and sleeplessness: a series of drawings and paintings made by four hands, without any sketches, or indeed any explicit rules other than the agreement to use certain materials and supports, faced with which we were to respond, question, or look in ways both shared and dissimilar.
