Descripción de la Exposición
“so much exhibition planning! i like to imagine and project, even more because it always comes out different. each exhibition includes many others, lived during the process.
the exhibition is the best scenario for testing, where possibilities expand. and the public dimension brings a complementary tension to the ease of doing at home. it brings the need to finish, even in the sense of finishing, to define the final version of several provisionals in every detail. it requires synthesis and precision.
(would the exhibition stand for the atelier as writing for thought?)
the exhibitions that I do in galeria luisa strina are where I most naturally update my practice, they are a direct extension of the studio. is the best and most difficult situation to show my work, the harder because the better.
an exhibition has always been for me a unique way of advancing with research, absolutely necessary for all processes, especially the mental. the act excites the thought.
an exhibition is the concentrated, retroprospective moment. the present includes past and future, are almost simultaneous in the instant.
an exhibition goes beyond the works assembly. the set is more than the sum of the parts. an exhibition is more than a work in itself, it is one among infinite possibilities. positively incomplete, it lingers in the imagination. it is end and no end, beginning and continuation.”
