NUEVA PIEL PARA UNA VIEJA CEREMONIA
Nueva piel para una vieja ceremonia is the first edition of our Artist curated Project (ACP) which started with the intention of fostering a dialogue and exploration around contemporary painting and its problematics. The program gives space to the gallery’s artists in order to develop exhibitions and to expand the dialogue with new generations.
Nueva piel para una vieja ceremonia (New skin for an old ceremony)
"Well never mind,
We are ugly but we have the music"
Leonard Cohen
"This project is a review of the mechanisms, conceptions, beliefs, strategies, postures and ways of making and approaching the language and medium of painting in the context of contemporary creation through the work of various artists whose works propose, review , contradict, oppose and / or expand the pretext of the pictorial from visual, formal and discursive platforms that range from the personal, the sentimental, the geographical, the political, the social, the abstract, the cultural and the psychological, enabling a perspectivist vision of the idea of painting as a complex, plural and contradictory becoming.
The sample includes paintings, drawings, collages, photography, objects, sculptures and video.
This selection of work transcends linear, historicist, chronological and style perceptions to give rise to a space that opens and creates diverse models of thought, invents cosmologies, generates mental maps that others can use and see to do something that makes the mystery and the magic of the world is something on our physical reach."
