Bajo la superficie (Miedos, Monstruos, Sombras)
Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque. Sala Bóvedas
11.12.2020 – 11.04.2021
Exposición colectiva, comisariada por Javier Martín-Jiménez, con obras de Teresa Solar entre otros.
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.
EXPOSURES #02
until May 30, 2020
exposure:the fact of experiencing something or being affected by it because of being in a particular situation or place (Cambridge Dictionary)
Exposures is a series of online exhibitions that aims to reflect on topics related to the current context, and around the general idea of ‘The body and the other’.
Exposures #02 . The word
The second proposal brings together conceptual practices around the word and the language, basic tools in our relationship with the world and with others.
The works of Erick Beltrán, Joan Brossa, Pauline Bastard, Muntadas, Javier Peñafiel, Perejaume, Teresa Solar and Anna Dot (guest artist) propose texts, phrases, messages, statements, which become resources for the analysis of reality, characterized by their critical and transforming character of the art system and society.
The works presented reflect the relationship between word and image and use various linguistic strategies. In the case of Teresa Solar‘s work, she plays with the aesthetics of phonetics and language learning posters. In other cases, language is used from a sound dimension -as in the work of Perejaume-, a sign –Javier Peñafiel– or poetic –Joan Brossa.
In the 2018 Muntadas work, the mechanisms of communication, language and the problematic relationship between the production of knowledge and economic power are analyzed. Also in the case of Erick Beltrán, through language, he dissects the world to classify it, categorize it, differentiate each of its elements in order to try to understand it.
In a more narrative line, Pauline Bastard‘s work starts from objects found casually that allow her to entrust strangers with the writing of creative fictions.
Lastly, we wanted to introduce an action carried out by Anna Dot at the Fundació Brossa in 2019, evidently for her connection with Joan Brossa, but also for her poetic reflection on the construction of words.
This exhibition will be on view until 30 of May.
