Subjectant la història // Centre d'Art Maristany

10 de diciembre de 2020 - 2 de marzo de 2021

Opening and guided tour by curator Jordi Antas // THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10th - 7 PM

The exhibition "Subjectant la història" (Holding History) relates our geological time to different ecological processes and temporal landscapes. It is an expository essay that speculates on the limits of knowledge, the capacity for understanding and beliefs; that is, it proposes to address significant, yet uncertain, theories about the present and future of various geological periods, as well as their differences. In addition, it questions the way in which we, the human species, try to understand the passage of time in the face of the possible arrival of a new era.

La exposición "Subjectant la història" pone en relación nuestro tiempo geológico con diferentes procesos ecológicos y paisajes temporales. Se trata de un ensayo expositivo que especula sobre los límites del conocimiento, la capacidad de comprensión y las creencias; es decir, propone abordar teorías significantes, a la vez que inciertas, sobre el presente y el futuro de varios períodos geológicos, así como sus diferencias. Además, se plantea la manera en como, nosotros, la especie humana, tratamos de entender el paso del tiempo ante la posible llegada de una nueva era.

«BAJO LA SUPERFICIE (MIEDOS, MONSTRUOS, SOMBRAS)»

CENTRO DE CULTURA CONTEMPORÁNEA CONDEDUQUE

Del 11 de diciembre de 2020 al 11 de abril de 2021

The global health crisis has led to a generalized existential crisis that forces us to reflect and doubt our own position in the world and particularly in the society in which we live. Any critical thinking generates doubts and questions necessary to advance as individuals in the search for answers. But that questioning can lead to internal conflicts. Looking at reality from the front is not always a dish of taste, it is more comfortable to look at it out of the corner of the eye to look away quickly if something disturbs us. Confronting him is the tricky part because it brings out many normally hidden emotions in turn.

Fears, monsters and shadows that hide under the surface, which curiously never disappear even if you look at each other from the side. As much as they are covered, they are always there, and they can become a heavy burden.

Guilt, fear of ourselves, fear of being afraid.

Perhaps it is time to face the present scenario and try to make visible those hidden, invisible or falsely forgotten feelings, much more common than we suspect.

The exhibition will feature a publication designed by Jaime Narváez that will include texts by different authors such as the art critic Bea Espejo, the writer Agustín Fernández Mallo and the professor at the Complutense University of Madrid Marián López Fdez.

La crisis sanitaria mundial ha derivado en una crisis existencial generalizada que obliga a reflexionar y a dudar sobre nuestra propia posición en el mundo y particularmente en la sociedad en la que vivimos. Cualquier pensamiento crítico genera dudas y preguntas necesarias para avanzar como individuos en la búsqueda de respuestas. Pero ese cuestionamiento puede derivar en conflictos internos. Mirar la realidad de frente no siempre es plato de gusto, es más cómodo mirarla por el rabillo del ojo para desviar la mirada rápidamente si algo nos perturba. Enfrentarse a ella es lo complicado porque hace aflorar a su vez muchas emociones normalmente escondidas.

Miedos, monstruos y sombras que se esconden bajo la superficie, que curiosamente no desaparecen nunca aunque se miren de soslayo. Por mucho que se tapen siempre están ahí, y se pueden convertir en una carga pesada.

La culpa, el miedo a nosotros mismos, el miedo a tener miedo.

Igual es momento de plantar cara al presente escenario y tratar de visibilizar esos sentimientos ocultos, invisibles o falsamente olvidados, mucho más comunes de lo que sospechamos.

La muestra contará con una publicación diseñada por Jaime Narváez que incluirá textos de diferentes autores como la crítica de arte Bea Espejo, el escritor Agustín Fernández Mallo y la catedrática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid Marián López Fdez.

Kollision. Im Labyrinth der unheimlichen Zufälle

April 1st - June 26th 2016
Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien
Mariannenplatz 2
10997 Berlin, Germany.

The exhibition Kollision. Im Labyrinth der unheimlichen Zufälle postulates a renaissance of a surrealistic aesthetic. The curators, Conny Becker and Maria-José Ourtilane, recognized that more and more contemporary artists use techniques that were introduced by the Surrealists (frottage, collage, decalcomania, rayography, écriture automatique etc.), or are inventing similar experimental artistic forms. Furthermore, you can find a parallel regarding similar themes (the phantasmagoric, the uncanny, the supernatural). In a climate of uncertainty and confusion of our globalized societies, human fragility takes centre stage again. It seems, that many artists deal with the permanent hyper-information in a way that refers more to the inner than the outer life.

Kollision will be running from April 1st to June 26th 2016 in Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin, Germany. The curators invited more than twenty international emerging and mid career artists, most of them based in Berlin. The curators invited more than twenty international emerging and mid career artists, most of them based in Berlin.

"The exhibition "The Conquest of the Impossible" will be hosted at the Mogosoaia Cultural Center in Bucharest and it will include an international selection of 16 artists. It will develop different topics as the spaces we inhabit, the concept of landscape and nature itself; the manipulation of the image of nature (political, commercial, military, etc); the sense of awareness of place and of care towards that which is native, both from a social and naturalistic point of view; a study on social geography and the concern with the uneven distribution of wealth or the importance of making an inventory of global resources; etc."
