Panorama in Madrid and Córdoba

Seven artists are currently exhibiting in Madrid or Córdoba with works produced, presented or derived from their original presentation in the group exhibition Panorama 21. Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls that took place at MACBA Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, between October 2021 and February 2022, curated by Hiuwai Chu and Latitudes.

Rosa Tharrats opened her first solo exhibition at Galería Ehrhardt Flórez in Madrid. Titled Theta Wave” (until July 3, 2022) it presents a new installation made with her signature materials, including recycled textiles and clothes, bioplastics, sponges, nets or stones, and is complemented with a suite of framed drawings and a sculpture made with discarded marble pieces intersected with fabrics. The text accompanying Rosa’s exhibition is written by another Panorama participant, Gabriel Ventura, whose performative action and poem “Passió i cartografia per a un incendi dels ulls” titled the small book published as the colophon of the exhibition. 

The next show at Galería Ehrhardt Flórez will be a solo by Panorama participant Laia Estruch, coinciding with Apertura Madrid Gallery Weekend that inaugurates the 2022–23 season.

Ocupando la segunda planta del MACBAApuntes para un incendio de los ojos reúne obras obras encargadas para la ocasión y producciones recientes realizadas por 17 artistas afincados en Barcelona y alreadedores. La exposición presenta pintura, la escultura, obra en papel, la videoinstalación, la performance, la fotografía y el textil, y se podrá visitar hasta el 27 de febrero 2022.

Apuntes para un incendio de los ojos evoca una potente metáfora que nos lleva a cuestionar el predominio de lo visual y nos alienta a explorar una definición expandida del ver que implique al resto de nuestros sentidos mediante nuevos modos de navegar el mundo, de recordar y de producir conocimiento. La forma ocular adquiere vida propia en la imaginación de esta muestra evocando los panoramas del siglo xviii, y representa los lazos que el museo establece a su alrededor y viceversa, en una época en que quizá reconsideremos qué lugar deberíamos ocupar en el mundo.

Participantes: Ana Domínguez, El Palomar (Mariokissme & R. Marcos Mota), Laia Estruch, Arash Fayez, Antoni Hervàs, Rasmus Nilausen, nyamnyam (Ariadna Rodríguez & Iñaki Álvarez) con Pedro Pineda, Claudia Pagès, Aleix Plademunt, Marria Pratts, Stella Rahola Matutes, Eulàlia Rovira, Ruta de autor (Aymara Arreaza R. & Lorena Bou Linhares), Adrian Schindler, Rosa Tharrats, Gabriel Ventura y Marc Vives.

Apuntes para un incendio de los ojos” está curada por Hiuwai Chu y Latitudes, y coordinada por Berta Cervantes.
