His work explores the limitations of various communication mediums and its effect on the individual and society. Focusing on the visual arts, his work often controls and manipulates light – the common intersection of all visual mediums.
We are excited to present such innovative work in the Plugin section of CI Contemporary Istanbul at our first participation at the fair.

This is the first time we participate in the leading art fair in Africa, specializing in the work produced on this continent. Our presence is articulated through a solo show of the photographer and video creator Anna Malagrida (Barcelona, 1970) who developed a project with the Instituto Cervantes in the city of Casablanca. This participation contributes to other actions taken by the gallery recently exploring new emerging markets and promoting local artists represented by SENDA gallery (Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bogota, Istanbul, Moscow, etc. ..) The work of Anna Malagrida reflects on the context that generates the image and nature based on concrete and fixed elements of social reality. A swing structured by the poetics of opposition between interior and exterior space, transparency and opacity, and reflection of the role of photography in contemporary world. She uses mainly photography and video, means that become its own object of thought: often operating by association and juxtaposition of planes on the same surface, works drawn, polysemic, intermingling more or less obvious references and citations to other media such as painting, sculpture and film, while preserving the specificity of the medium in which they operate. The presence of SENDA gallery is supported by the Spanish Embassy in South Africa and the Government of Catalunya.

Comprising two suites of photos— Socles and Walls—the project The Walls Spoke documents some of the slogans and graffiti that appeared between 2011 and 2013 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

Where does the work of an artist finish and start the next one? In a gallery the gap is set by the frame, but on the streets the situation changes. From this premise, Debens (Barcelona, 1980) invites Albert de Blobs, the duo Lolo and Sosaku, Hamada and Pau MF Mina to break this classic limitation with the first urban art exhibition at gallery Senda. This "supergroup" will look forward the limit of works painted at 2, 4 and up to 6 hands, a mode of production that aims to show cooperative collective action and urban art.
