For the Barcelona Gallery Weekend, ADN Galeria brings together two artists: Julio Anaya (Málaga, Spain, 1987) and Eugenio Merino (Madrid, Spain, 1975). The first will show, between homage and demystification, some reproductions of masterpieces from the history of Western art in worn cardboard fragments. With his exact replicas but made on poor materials, concepts such as “authorship”, “authenticity” and “property” are put under suspicion, but also others such as “conservation” and “transmission”. Eugenio Merino‘s project “Banco público” follows this line: it is an investigation about the political ideology of Federico García Lorca and how it has been self-servingly falsified throughout history (from Francoism to democracy). The artist relies here on the interviews and conferences that the poet gave during his lifetime and that have been compiled by Víctor Fernández and Rafael Inglada. The result is translated into a sculptural and sound installation curated by Semíramis González in the ADN Galeria exhibition space, with the collaboration of Víctor Fernández and Juan Diego Botto.
