Intro

Nasceu em Bogotá, Colômbia, em 1965.

Vive e trabalha em Bogotá, Colômbia.

 

 

Dona de produção ao mesmo tempo delicada e contundente, Johanna Calle encontrou no grafismo uma forma especial de referenciar problemas e incoerências que permeiam a sociedade latino-americana. Tomando diversas formas de escritura como ponto de partida, Calle se apropria de manuscritos, cartas, partituras musicais, matrizes matemáticas ou técnicas de taquigrafia, numa espécie de jogo permanente entrelinhas, palavras e sinais. Após estudar na Universidad de los Andes (1984-1989), em Bogotá, Calle realizou seu mestrado em Artes Plásticas pelo Chelsea College of Art, Londres (1992-1993).  

 

Entre suas principais exposições individuais, destacam-se: Dibujos/ Dessins, Maison de l’Amérique Latine, Paris, France, Silentes, curadoria de Helena Tatay, Museu de Arte do Banco da Republica, Bogotá, Colômbia (2015) Krizinger Residencies, Krizinger Gallery, Vienna, Austria (2013), Intertextos, Galeria Marilia Razuk, Sao Paulo (2012), Variaciones políticas del trazo dibujos de Johanna Calle, Fundación TEOR/éTica, San José de Costa Rica (2008); laconia, Galería Santa Fé, Planetario Distrital, Bogotá (2007); Zona Tórrida, Galería Casas Riegner, Bogotá (2006); Pretérita, Fundación Gilberto Alzate Avendaño, Bogotá (2006); Tangencias, Sala ASAB, Academia Superior de Artes de Bogotá (2005).
