Pure Blood
by Mandy Cano Villalobos
Many of my projects reflect a longing for what writer Paul Tillich calls the "Eternal Now". Gold, dirt, blood and hair – materials rich with cultural memory and symbolism – substantiate the mysteries that elude us. Other projects present fragmented narratives: family snapshots, personal possessions, and broken texts affirm our tenuous understandings of the past, both obscuring and revealing the ephemerality of life. Through these rifts of sacred moments and fractured translations I find a space of empathy and reflection. This space is filled by the memories and imaginings of others.

ACRE (Artists’ Cooperative Residency and Exhibition) was founded in 2010 with the ambition to provide the arts community with an affordable, cooperative, and dialogue-oriented residency program. The residency itself takes place each summer in rural southwest Wisconsin and brings together artists from across disciplines and levels of experience to create a regenerative community of cultural producers. Over the course of the following year ACRE endeavors to further support its residents by providing venues for exhibitions, idea exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and experimental projects.
