At that threshold where. Marga Estelrich, Marc Salas Armengol Alex, Luz Palomares

The artists in this exhibition work with movement and instability, exploring the tension between matter and action. If we take a box, turn it around, turn it around again and repeat the steps in reverse, it is no longer just a box: it becomes an object that is explored, turned over, revised. If a stone is saved, taken out, observed and released, it is no longer the same: it has been interrogated, retained and released. If the box is no longer a box and the stone is no longer a stone, it is because the action is not marked by a prior intention, but by the relationships that emerge between the elements.

The artists’ works are situated on that threshold where the object ceases to be static and becomes a trace of its own mutation. The action lies not only in the visible, but also in what happens in the imperceptible: chance, course, coincidence. A trace of dust on the ground, the resonance of a repeated gesture, the vibration of a surface on contact.

In friction, a dialogue unfolds between what changes and what remains. A movement between assemblages. The pieces rub against each other, move, reconfigure themselves. They never remain still and it is in the imbalance that they find meaning. The exhibition is conceived as a living environment, a space of encounter between matter, trace and time. Everything is inscribed in a continuous process, where the opening of possibilities is a sequence in which the conclusion is not the objective.

At that threshold where is a curatorial proposal by Manuela Pereira Enríquez in collaboration with Homesession, the Grup d’Innovació Docent ‘Art, Professió i Docència’ of the Universitat de Barcelona and Sala d’Art Jove. The final year artists, Marga Estelrich, Alex Luz Palomares and Marc Salas Armengol are taking part in this exhibition.
