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.

ZUSH at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Of Ibiza

Posted on by SEO Senda

From June 3 to November 30, 2022 | Museum of Contemporary Art of Ibiza
Curators: Enrique Juncosa, Xavier de Luca (Fundación Suñol) & Elena Ruiz.

Collaborator Galeria SENDA

The Councilor for Culture of the Eivissa City Council and president of the Board of Trustees of the Eivissa Museum of Contemporary Art, Pep Tur, the director of the Eivissa Museum of Contemporary Art, Elena Ruiz, and the artist Zush have presented the exhibition “Zush en Eivissa” which was inaugurated on Friday, June 3 at 7:00 p.m. and will remain on display until November 30, 2022.

The Councilor for Culture and President of the Board of Trustees of the Pep Tur Museum of Contemporary Art has stated that:

“Zush is one of the essential artists to understand the evolution of Spanish art in the 70s and 80s mainly. We are lucky that a large part of this production was made on the island of Eivissa. Getting a part of it together makes it one of the most important exhibitions of the season, not only in Ibiza or the Balearic Islands, but throughout the country. This exhibition demonstrates the increasingly ascending line that MACE has had in recent years.“

The exhibition focuses on the period between 1968 and 1983 in which Zush resided on the island of Ibiza, a period that became a moment of intense creativity for the artist, who experimented with very diverse formats and techniques, such as fluorescent painting illuminated by black light. This exuberant diversity of artistic proposals will be reflected in an exhibition that will present more than a hundred works, some seventy from the Suñol Soler Collection, which will be exhibited in the Arms Hall of the Ibizan museum.

The artist Zush has stated that: “ The works that can be seen in this exhibition correspond to the period of 18 years that he lived on the island. He has also added that what gives him the most joy is thinking that his works give people joy. “

The curator of the exhibition, Enrique Juncosa, has highlighted that Zush is an artist who:

“Has known how to create an inner world, creating characters and turning them into myths; He is a pioneering and current artist, as is the study of identity, his relationship with drawing, collaborations with other artists, his relationship with electronic music, and he is an advanced figure in the artistic currents of surrealism and pop art.”
