Group show #lineapuntoplano in Madrid - Urvanity art fair with Swinton gallery.

 

La próxima semana Madrid es el epicentro mundial del arte. @swintongallery no se queda al margen y formará parte un año más de @uvnt_art . Para esta edición de 2024 hemos preparado una exposición colectiva que parte del libro de V. Kandinsky titulado “Punto y Línea sobre el plano” de 1926. Las teorías compositivas descritas en este libro se personalizan a la perfección en los tres artistas representados en esta exposición : 108 @108_108_108 , Olga de Dios @olgadedios_ y Sergio Gómez @srger.


Además contamos con una reflexión de Joaquín García Martín @eljoaquingarcia titulada “Unir las líneas de puntos” que no nos puede parece más acertada. Os dejamos aquí un fragmento:
“Punto, línea, plano, los tres elementos que conforman la pintura (occidental, heredera del Renacimiento industrializado y fordista) no serían por lo tanto sólo aspectos técnicos o visuales, sino también biográficos, sociales, económicos y políticos. La práctica artística vista (como debe de ser, como es) observada y vivida como resultado de la individualidad del creador. Después de todo el propio Kandinsky reivindica la practica pictórica como método de conocimiento interior del artista, que no realizaría esos puntos y lineas sobre el plano de una manera casual, sino como resultado de un trabajo que le conduce hacia la belleza interior. ”
.
¡Ojo, cambio de ubicación! Ven a visitarnos entre el 7 y el 10 de marzo en UVNT 2024, en una espectacular carpa instalada en la plaza central de Matadero Madrid, junto a la plaza de Legazpi. Te esperamos en el stand B15.
.
Nos vemos la semana que viene, ¡no te lo pierdas!

"To The Clouds" text by Michela D'Acquisto

"Some years ago, 108 stumbled by chance upon a book on Orphism - it was his first fortuitous meeting with a religion that, as he was going to find out shortly, holds remarkable affinities with his art, his beliefs, and his idea of how an artist should be.
In 2019, 108 had another close encounter with Orphism while working on an exhibition at Palermo's archeological museum, which hosts a famous polychrome mosaic depicting Orpheus playing the lyre among animals: inspired by the Orphic gold tablets found in graves with instructions for the deceased in the afterlife, the artist created a sound installation akin to a ritual, like most of his work.
Through his music, Orpheus charmed all living beings - and even inanimate objects - and, most importantly, was able to visit the underworld and return from it. When the Maenads ripped him to shreds, his head kept on singing, as an extraordinary testament of the everlasting power of art over anything else.
Also according to 108, art should be an all-encompassing force capable of reawakening and reconnecting the inner self to what the current over rational civilization solely focused on material achievements has forgotten over the centuries: the irrational, the unconscious, the mysterious - as in the ecstasy-inducing Dionysian mysteries, providing freedom from society's constraints and a return to primordial nature.
In the same way, the artist should act as a medium and regard his art as a portal leading beyond the visible to transcend reality.
As always, and perhaps now more than ever, 108 has worked entirely unencumbered by the control of rationality.
The abstract shapes that constitute To The Clouds - the title of an Orphic hymn that celebrates humanity's interdependence with Mother Earth - are almost meditative tools, mainly black, as with its incomparable symbolic and visual impact, is the colour that also formally expresses the marked duality of the artist's works: plenitude and, at the same time, emptiness.
108's entire comprehensive artistic practice is aimed at transcending the subordination of reality and at releasing the most instinctive part of its essence, at least on the level of the intangible. The arrangement itself of the works in the gallery perfectly summarizes the tension resulting from the attempt to reconcile rational and non-rational: the linearity of the installation is interrupted by a random accumulation of irregular shapes and primitive ceramics – in 108's own words, a “museum to the inexplicable” – that reflects the inexorable affirmation of irrationality over reason."
