Artist Residency

UNCOOL ARTIST
RESIDENCY

Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York, 2025

My residency at Uncool Artist, based at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, was transformative on both a personal and artistic level. During this period, I became deeply aware of new ethical frameworks in contemporary art production, and more importantly, of how my work is understood within a global context.

During the final quarter of the fall–winter season, I developed a series of watercolors based on the textiles used in my childhood dresses from the late 20th century. These works function as a subtle, almost forensic reading of those garments: their materials, their use, and their journey.

This body of work combines symbols with strong traditional significance with individual human gestures. During the open studios at Uncool Gallery and the final presentation, the drawings activated a process of reconstructing past narratives.

Statement

Angie Rangel (Barranquilla, 1994) researches memory as a poetic practice. Working through painting, drawing, and textile processes, she examines how domestic objects, childhood garments, and inherited gestures operate as mnemonic devices that shape feminine identity within contemporary Latin American contexts. Her practice positions the handmade as a form of knowledge: a method for reconstructing personal and collective histories embedded in textile lineages and domestic labor.

An ongoing visual archive in formation. Through watercolor, diaristic notation, and iterative study, she translates garments and domestic space into coded forms that oscillate between document and fiction. This methodology aligns her with contemporary discourses on feminist material culture, affective archives, and the politics of care.

By foregrounding repetition, variation, and the instability of recollection, Rangel articulates an expanded notion of painting—one in which intimacy becomes a site for critical reflection on memory, cultural inheritance, and the structures that shape visibility.
