Actividades
Sevilla. From 23 Sep to 19 Nov 2017
LOOPS AT A SPOOL. Continuation Ceremony is an installation project that uses allegory as a discursive strategy applied to objects, light and sounds taken from the landscape. Thus, a flagpole divested of its flag is presented as the central axis of the space, crowned by a gold finial.
Málaga. From 11 Dec to 15 Feb 2015
On the basis of a formal heterogeneity and a thematic multiplicity framed in daily life, the artists present a series of pieces whose common point is the conflict between the accuracy of representation as an independent entity and the unbreakable symbolic reference to that referenced.
Málaga. From 11 Nov to 06 Jan 2014
‘Tres Estados’ (Three States) is a framework of common reflection motivated by the space in which the project is carried out, the Iniciarte Space of El Palmeral de las Sorpresas, a place that historically was taken by the sea.
