AZUL EHRENBERG
Azul Ehrenberg (Mexico / Netherlands, 1997) is an interdisciplinary artist based in between Amsterdam and Mexico. In her work she dominantly uses a combination of selfmade paper, visual poetry and moving image. Personal archives and self shot images are often at the core of her works. But as past and present narrations are an integral part of life, she also explores the impact these can have on our perception by intervening existing content, in order to create a new context or form.
Her working method has never followed a classical structure, but has evolved experimentally, touching upon topics such as heritage, memory; its illusions and the emotional and intellectual resonance such themes can evoke in the public. She invites the viewer to reflect upon solitude and the contrasts between modernity and tradition, drawing inspirations from personal and broader cultural themes and traditions. Often, she blurs the line between reality and imagination. It is her way to preserve the beauty of a certain originality that might otherwise perish in forgetfulness.

Within Indebt Studio, a wall was removed collectively. It was harmoniously carried out of the underground, piece by piece, as well as violently torn down by machinery and traditional tools. As a result, a new physical and spiritual space emerged.
In celebration of the new Indebt Studio space, the first exhibition of the season is centered around community. We proudly present a group of artists closely connected to Indebt Studio: long-time friends, who have their roots in different places all over the world.
The practices of these artists offer widely different perspectives on the world surrounding them. The curation of the exhibition is not merely focused on the underlying content of the artworks—instead, it is found in the artists' interconnectedness within the web of human connection. Significance is shifted from individuality to collectivity; value is placed on the preservation and the formation of networks. You, the viewer, are a part of it too.
