LALIRIO. Fuentesal Arenillas

LALIRIO is the title of the first solo exhibition by Fuentesal Arenillas to be held in a public art centre in Barcelona. It is structured around a collection of textiles, arranged between pillars and windows, like a great backbone, which generates new combinations and configurations in the building. The work these artists create has gradually been filtered over the years, shaping ways of understanding the practice of sculpture as a collective learning process, adapted to a constant loss of form.

The exhibition is divided into two levels: on the ground floor is Carrusel and on the first floor are Imaginaria and Caracolas. There is an elasticity to the three installations that returns time and again to this small theatre of dérives, where necklines and waists, cuffs and hems intersect, each maintaining the movement of the one beside them, resting their hands above the materials that have continually led them to the action and occurrence. This construction doesn’t always have a clear story, but narratives and accounts that intertwine, intersect and repeat themselves, while the forms stretch, rest and disappear.

Opening: 25 October at 12 pm
