Peter Halley’s project is an homage to Latin American Modernism. The booth combines five new paintings executed in neo-plastic primary and secondary colors, in which Halley characteristically transforms the rectilinear modernist grid into a static image of a prison. On the surrounding walls, Halley has created a digital black and white montage of paintings from twenty-four Latin American abstract masters, transforming these works into an overall web of faceted vectors.

Galería SENDA participa en el stand de ART RIO a partir del próximo 11 de septiembre hasta el domingo 14. Nos podrás encontrar en el stand E1, pabellón 2. La participación de galería SENDA en la feria ART RIO forma parte de la política de apertura de nuevos mercados en Latinoamérica que la galería lleva a cabo en las últimas temporadas. Brasil es un país emergente social y económicamente y por este motivo la galería ha participado en ferias brasileñas como SP Arte 2011 de Sao Paulo, SpFoto 2012 y Arte Rio 2012. 

La selección por nuestro stand mezcla jóvenes artistas locales con artistas más consagrados para poder introducirse en el mercado del coleccionismo brasileño. Dada la idiosincrasia del país y nuestra experiencia en los últimos años, creemos importante la presencia de firmas reconocidas. Así, llevaremos pinturas de Peter Halley, fotografías de gelatina de plata de Robert Mapplethorpe y C-prints de Massimo Vitali. 
Asimismo, los acrílicos de Yago Hortals, las fotografías de Anna Malagrida a quien ya presentamos en el pasado, y los collages de Gino Rubert estarán presentes en Art Río. Por otra parte, también presentaremos una instalación de Rosell Messeguer realizada en Río de Janeiro, el proyecto "Ovni Archive".

From June 28 opens the new CaixaForum Zaragoza with the exhibitions "Sensitive Plans" and "Narrative image" with video projection by Eve Sussman and The Rufus Corporation "whiteonwhite: ramdomthriller"
It is an improvised film noir culled from everyday life on the road between Moscow and the Caspian. It is edited live, in real time by computer algorithm. Therefore, the running time is indeterminate; the film can never be viewed the same way twice and is continually being re-edited. Set in a futuristic scenery, it is about a man controlled by the code he is working on, as the course of the story is controlled by the code that edits the film. Thus, the code’s serendipity drives the story’s suspense. 

SENDA gallery presents the latest photographic work by Anna Malagrida (Barcelona, 1970), that includes inscriptions and graffiti appeared beyond the social protest movements occurred in Spain within 2011 and 2013. The works question the limits of the visible and reflect on the dichotomy of the act of looking as an aesthetic – and also political – experience.
Comprising two suites of photos— Socles and Walls—the project The Walls Spoke documents some of the slogans and graffiti that appeared in the wake of the social movements in Spain. It is a kind of photographic inventory of the barely visible traces of the scribblings or anonymous cries of protest that dirtied the walls of various buildings before they were swiftly erased. The images were taken on the walls of buildings, belonging mostly to banking or political institutions in the cities of Barcelona and Madrid.
The peaceful protests of the 15-M or Indignants movement, which sprang to life in May 2011, were followed by a prolonged series of demonstrations largely organised on social networks. These two suites of photos are predicated on a will to create an inventory and to record the print that these protests left on city walls, the places where indignant voices left their marks. The texts and words of the original inscriptions were compiled for this project in two formats: a diary and a projection accompanied by a soundtrack composed of original sound recordings from the demonstrations.
These works, which register traces and restore memory, also focus on the transformation of the photographed objects. In the photos grouped together in Socles one sees the remains of the cries of social protest, even though the actual painting has been erased and the voices silenced. The bases or plinths of the buildings are somehow transformed into unmovable, hieratic stone sculptures, not unlike the institutions they house. Presented in large format, the graffiti-covered Walls seem to the beholder like paintings born from social conflict. Likewise, the recording of the voices restores the original moment of the events, plunging the spectator into a journey in time.

Radio Miami is an archive created by artist Rosell Meseguer (Spain/Chile) based on her research since 2007 that  links cultural, political and social issues from the Cold War to the current financial crisis in the US and Europe focusing on Miami’s panorama. The resulting recollection constitutes the “final archive” in its ability to demonstrate the geographical displacement and cultural diasporas caused by phenomena originated from political and social matters
