About the Item

Dario Robleto Untitled (Shadows Evade The Sun l), 2012 Suite of 9 archival digital prints on Hahnemuhle Pearl paper mounted on mat board; a collection of stage lights taken from fan-shot concert photographs (Johnny Cash, Dizzy Gillespie, Sam Cooke, Lena Horne, Charlie Parker, Janis Joplin, Ella Fitzgerald, The Doors, Elvis Presley) ed. 25 In a uniquely emotive, conceptual mixed media practice Houston-based Dario Robleto concentrates a variety of everyday and esoteric materials into intricate, relic-like objects and images. Following from his passion for DJ culture, Robleto’s alchemical approach involves “sampling” and then “remixing” vestiges from popular music, history, and science—melting a vinyl record by Billie Holiday, for example, into replacement buttons for thrift store clothes. Accompanying “liner notes,” usually in the form of a wall label poetically detail the sources embedded in each work. A self-described “materialist poet,” this relationship between language and materials is a crucial component to his approach. Often handmade, the artist’s projects regularly resemble archaic displays or designs from bygone eras. Robleto regenerates these past forms to honor and mourn, express desire and faith, as well as offer hopeful, ameliorative responses to the tragedies of war, ecological collapse, and mortality. These prints focus on amateur fan photography at live concerts, allowing us to call up our own experience of attempting to capture a star on stage. Each “polaroid” is created from a found photograph; the artist has removed any figural element, leaving only the stage lights, which look remarkably like NASA photographs. In all of these print series, Robleto blends romance and science, suggesting that the “live” event never dies, that a light wave from a Hendrix concert is always traveling through deep space, available to be seen and loved for the first time.
