www.artistsallianceinc.org/daniel-manti…
After being nomadic for the last few months and working in small spaces, the Residency Unlimited /Artists Alliance, Inc. residency will provide Mantilla the opportunity to make paintings, cutouts, and works on paper that he can physically expand and contract by folding and unfolding, or by assembling and disassembling to fit inside cases and transport them with ease. In collaboration with Sprechgesang Institute, he is working on the production of the play Rock Paper Scissors, which will be performed in December 2020 on Zoom.

Artist Presents – Daniel Mantilla
www.residencyunlimited.org/programs/art…Storage, Trasteo, Coming or Going/Digital Drawing included in the Collaborative Publication CutMeUp Magazine 7
From Cut Me Up Magazine page:
Cut Me Up is a participatory magazine of visual call and response founded by Andrea Burgay
Cut Me Up Issue 6: Object Lessons, curated by Michael Oatman, is a selection of 19 artworks that dimensionally expand upon collage methods to explore assemblage, sculpture and installation.
Reflecting on the history of the found object as Readymade, as well as the importance of personal objects within our pandemic landscape, the artists in this issue have created artworks that serve many functions. There are objects of comfort, remembrance and protection. There are objects of play, several that can be assembled by Cut Me Up readers. Artists explore physical material as possibility, inspiring us to build, and to rebuild. Artists also explore the transformative potential of waste materials, objects we use and dispose of.
As Michael Oatman describes, these artists have “plunged into art history, dreamed of unvisited lands, fabricated pandemic wear, gene-spliced, mailed themselves to friends, invented architectures, hacked the still life genre, baked a pie, conned us, charmed us, calmed and alarmed us.”

Solo Exhibition - Openings to Further Enclosures - Thomas Hunter Project Space
Daniel Mantilla
Openings to Further Enclosures
Curated by Joel Carreiro
Exhibition dates April 2 - May 15, 2017
Opening reception Friday, April 7, 6:00 - 8:00pmThe Hunter College Project Space is pleased to present a solo exhibition of drawing/collages by Colombian-born, New York based artist Daniel Mantilla.
Using diverse materials and a wide range of marking methods and depictive styles, Mantilla`s protagonists inherit the staccato energy of his line as restless activity. His cast of characters engage, observe, support, disrupt, love, hate and converse in environments suggestive of domestic spaces, urban settings, gardens and river banks. Spatial uncertainty prevails as attempts are made towards equilibrium using rickety structures and contraptions that also require some assistance. Mantilla remembers handmade scaffolds supporting precarious structures from his childhood in Bogota and Ibague, and discarded materials repurposed to buttress falling walls or patch bridges and houses.
These ad hoc solutions have become metaphors for his character`s efforts at communication and interpersonal relations. All is in flux, identities are unstable, things and events are in transition to uncertain destinations.Though dangers exist, there are no dull moments, and the overall tone of Mantilla`s scenes is one of adventure, resilience and surprise.
It is possible that inventiveness and imagination may, in the end, win the day.Joel Carreiro
