Brazo y mano. Manu Uranga
And that the surface swells in volume, because the surface has no volume and the volume is the surface.
The volume absorbs the surface, which rotates in all directions.

Manu Uranga (Zumaia, 1980) has a degree in Fine Arts (2005) and a Master’s degree in research and creation in art (UPV-EHU). His work consists of an approach to sculptural practice in which the narratives generated from the plastic arts and the superficiality of the materials enable or reconsider space and its limits. Thought slips between things, especially when the image disappears, establishing a physical transit between the object, its use and the body with which it interposes itself.
His exhibitions include Nicho, Flex (Bilbao, 2024); Ideas travel faster than Light, Niv Art Centre (India, 2016); Planes (second part) Torre de Ariz, (Basauri, 2013) and Planta, (first part) COAVN, Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos Vasco-Navarro (Bilbao, 2012); and Decúbito manual, Sala Rekalde (Bilbao, 2013). He was part of the group exhibition Izena Gero at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao (2013). In 2015 he developed the Gio Bat project, a set of personal and participatory processes in art in which he invited other artists to collaborate. She has also participated in the International Film Festival Rotterdam and Komende Fabrikaat, Artis Den Bosch (Holland, 2008); El placer como control: del voyeurismo a la vigilancia at Hangar (Barcelona, 2009); and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (Germany, 2010).
