‘Genometrías’, renowned artist Javier Pérez‘s (Bilbao, 1968) third exhibition at the gallery and his first as part of the Barcelona Gallery Weekend, reflects on the human obsession with measuring everything: Time, space, identity, emotions. Pérez questions whether it is possible to find more organic and emotional forms of measurement, based not on scientific parameters, but on individual experiences: heartbeats, breathing, or the steps toward what we love or fear. With this proposal, the artist invites us to redefine our perception of the environment from a more subjective and sensorial perspective.
Javier Pérez represented Spain at the Venice Biennale in 2001, and his work is part of prominent international collections such as the Centre Pompidou, Guggenheim Bilbao, and Palais de Tokyo, among many others. The exhibition will be on view at the space at 70 Trafalgar Street from September 18 to November 29.
