Caffe Interactions

To break the ice and give you a sense of what this is about, let me introduce myself.

I’m Lole Remón. Lole comes from Lucía — yes, there’s an explanation, but it’s wildly irrelevant, of course.

I’m a multidisciplinary artist born in Argentina. The letter e in Spanish has that unique quality of not being tied to a specific gender — and at first, I found that amusing. It felt like a game and, at the same time, a kind of freedom. Like hiding behind a curtain, peeking out to see what people imagined about the gender of the artist behind the work.
That freedom also carries a touch of anonymity — of being slightly veiled behind a pseudonym.
Though, to be honest, my last name gives away about seventy percent of that game — enough to even hint at my Libra rising, forever trying to balance every stripped-down edge of my Aquarian nature. The game of anonymity still happens, but it’s now just a layer behind the work — and not really where I want to dwell.

Why multidisciplinary? Because creating is an active meditation for me. I love drawing, singing, dancing, acting, printing, writing, reading, recording — and even cooking. Expressing is a need, as much as it is a living pulse. For the sake of pleasure, to rest my mind, and hopefully to connect my life experience with someone else’s — like yours.

Now, CaffeInteractions is where I pour the cascade of thoughts and sentences that constantly flood my mind — brought down into linear time (and literal lines).
My thoughts are quite anxious by nature, and one of the things that frustrates me most is that the best sentences and paragraphs come to me when I have absolutely nothing to write them down or record myself. In the shower (always), while driving, cooking with both hands busy, walking around with a dead phone… you get the idea, right?
So, in an attempt to turn that anxiety into something else, this space was born — a place to develop those phrases, notes, and drafts. And hopefully, to move them beyond my personal sphere and amplify them — to share them with whoever is on the other side of the screen.

At its core, I believe that’s what art is about — the so-called aesthetic event: that moment when an encounter with an image, object, sound, action, or idea evokes something else, transports us, connects us to something or someone new — and a bridge is built between two different universes, now linked.
That’s what I understand as a subjective experience — among thousands of other (probably better) definitions. And that’s where the aesthetic event takes place: within that subjectivity.

Lucía — my “core” self — is a name that comes from light, traditionally given to those born at first light.
I was born at 10:40 p.m., under a New Moon in the Southern Hemisphere — but thanks to the Earth itself, interpretation, and free will, somewhere in another time zone there was light at that precise moment. And New Moons are about beginnings, so I’ll embrace that convenient concept.

This blog is a decision to shed some light on these ways of making, thinking, and feeling.

So welcome — to a space of dialogue, bridge-building, and shared perception — to explore the hybrid universe of the aesthetic singularities of everyday life.— to a space of dialogue, bridge-building, and shared perception — to explore the hybrid universe of daily life’s aesthetic singularities.
