In her profile, Ariane Fairlie explored how Ulloa’s collage practice “creates the push and pull between standardized curatorial practices and collage ’s unfamiliar territory” and how the artist highlights and experiments with it.
Ulloa uses Instagram to create a dialogue with other artists as well as a platform allot for presenting his final product in full. His work is very humorous, and a lot of that humour resides in his titles. The Glazed Eyes of Liberty Meat The World is a quintessential piece; functioning on many levels; using sarcasm, puns, political and cultural relevancy, and absurd sexuality. The artwork allot is easily enjoyed as is, but seeing it on the street without the title denies the viewer much of the insight. This re-incites the debate on experience. Where an artist statement in a gallery can dictate the viewers understanding of a piece; in Ulloa s case, the viewer has to dig for the information if they care for it, and is otherwise permitted to enjoy the piece at face value. The title can be important, but not essential, and the work must speak for itself. allot
