Elena Del Rivero at Poetic Intention, MACBA Collection: Prelude

Posted on by SEO Senda

What would happen if we separated the artwork from the museographic context that surrounds it? How would that help us to perceive the work for itself, in its poetic essence?

Poetic Intention is an exercise that allows us to sound out a break in the institutional framework, offering a space for reflection and critique where the concept and the experience of ‘art’ are presented as emancipatory principles. Thus, a new storytelling is configured that encompasses absences and enables other discourses as common spaces, possible scenarios to question and update the forms of relationship established by artistic practices with the subjects.

‘Prelude. Poetic Intention’, is MACBA Collection’s new presentation in which politics and poetics enter a dialogue that reflects on the inherent relations between the work of art and its context, the subjects that surround it and the material culture it generates.

The exhibition takes a journey through case studies and presents works recently acquired by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA) where the concept and the experience of ‘art’ are presented as emancipatory principles.

In the show, you will be able to see a selection of works by Elena Del Rivero, Valencian artist living in New York, who is presenting a solo exhibition in Galeria SENDA opening January 12th 2023 titled: Love Song, In Memoriam: Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris.

The exhibition is curated by Elvira Dyangani Ose, Antònia M. Perelló Ferrer, Claudia Segura Campins, and Patrícia Sorroche.

Since 14 December, on the first floor of the Meier building, Poetic Intention  will open its doors. The pieces from the MACBA collection will remain on display until mid-2024.

MINA HAMADA’s project for LA ROCA VILLAGE: ‘Un Paseo Colorido’

Posted on by SEO Senda

The artist based in Barcelona has just presented a new series of sculptures in the shopping center La Roca Village. The collection represents a novelty for the artist who usually works on large-scale public murals.

Striking sculptures by American-born Japanese artist Mina Hamada dot the streets of the space. In June, the creator inaugurated a project conceived together with La Roca Village and the gallery LAB36. The idea behind Colorful Walk, conceived ex profeso for that place, is to support local talent.

Three colorful geometric sculptures and a set of hanging wooden mobiles can now be seen at the entrance of La Roca Village. A final three meter tall sculpture will be installed later this summer. Mina talks about her work process, her iconic style and how she approaches a new medium.

Hamada transmits its good vibrations through its free and organic forms, in a style characterized by color, rhythm and improvisation. Although it is mostly known for its mural art of enormous dimensions, the artist explores other formats such as canvas or sculpture without abandoning the artistic language that identifies her. You can currently enjoy his circular and rectangular canvases in an individual exhibition that he has done for the gallery LAB36 titled Transition.

The La Roca Village project began to take shape in 2021 and, after several meetings, Hamada and the team created for the occasion, chose to develop strong>works with volume. The artist, who has worked in various disciplines, from paintings to murals or work on paper, is the first time that she has developed such large works in three dimensions:

“It’s a new challenge for me. With Paseo Colorido I can bring people closer to my work and make them interact with it.”

Hamada’s proposal is articulated through three groups of sculptures: Dream Passage, with large-scale works (300 x 200 x 150 cm) ; Summer whims, which are three small format pieces; and Aerial landscape, a mobile installation. The artist is excited about the opportunity to give volume to her creations, because “they look like characters that come out of my paintings and have a soul.”
