About Mejunje
Mejunje is the collaborative research project of Argentine artists Mercedes Villalba (born in 1983) and Julian Gatto (born in 1979). Since they have many common interests and activities — namely drawing, gardening, carpentry, writing poetry, taking walks, peeping into other people’s gardens to see how they tend them, etc — Mejunje instantly became a multidisciplinary project of ‘knowledge-gathering’. In these times were the emphasis of ‘valuable’ knowledge is all about specificity and compartmentation, they feel that perhaps it is necessary to go back to knowing ‘a little bit of everything’— this might be the key to more sustainable, independent and responsible processes for art making and living in general. This is why the output of their work can take many shapes: workshops, installations, publications, drawings, poems, video, etc.

Gatto was graduated from Cooper Union (NY) and have been showing in Europe, US and Japan. Villalba is presently coursing studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology and have been part of different projects mainly in Europe. They were both part of the Research Residence Program at the Tokyo Wonder Site, Creator-in-Residence, Tokyo, Japan, in 2009.
