LOOP 2018
Urban Gallery presents the work of three artists:
Èric Antonell: "Estacions i devastacions" abstract animation that illustrates the creation and evolution of planet earth until its destruction.
Asunción + Guasch. "Binomi" is a videoperformance originated from a previous work by the same artists: Vishudha (Istambul 2017), which consisted in a non verbal communication, based on colours.the video recording of the reproduction of the recording of the action (dialogue with colours). Ultimately, the real action consists in this complex video. This performance is only possible videographically, by showing the recording and reproduction devices.
Clemente Calvo. "Cuba linda" and "Broken pots", two animated films that illustrate the possibility of production at zero cost: materials such as cardboard or plastic, public domain sound patterns, found ceramic fragments...
MARÍA PROKHOROVA
Decomposition, the leftovers, that which has expired due to time produces disgust and repulsion in our western world. It alludes to old age, arousing fear. It is associated to the idea of deterioration and death. Nonetheless, it’s a fixation that is socially silenced.mLive makes sense with its relation to death.
It’s a work i have been developing in parallel for a year, with photography, drawings and sculptures, since there is an interest in capturing short-lived moments in constant change and transformation.
The three parts act as a whole and also as sole series. There is an initial purpose to recycle, since it all began with those abandoned vegetables in the deepest part of our fridge, although then they became the foundation of the project.
MERCÈ SOLER
To trap to then let free.
Mutation, searching a change that fades away.
Polaroid of an instant, to then loose it.
