LALIRIO. Fuentesal Arenillas

LALIRIO is structured around the accumulation of textiles that expand and intertwine among the pillars and walls, creating new combinations and configurations. Fuentesal Arenillas work with memories, transforming them and bringing them into the present without renouncing their past forms.

The three artworks that make up the exhibition—Carrusel, Imaginaria and Caracolas—stem from a way of working that shifts between intuition and memory, between texts, letters and traces of everyday life. There isn’t always a clear story, rather narratives that repeat themselves, transform and keep the structure alive.

Carrusel is structured as an epistle made with the body, condensing the correspondence between the artists and Itziar Okariz through a multitude of garment-letters. The garments, stacked and accumulated, take shape as an installation and encapsulate the shared desires and interests.

Imaginaria piles together the memories that are repeated and transformed: conversations held on the floor of the studio, unexpected water, and written and added sentences. The traces become vestiges of other forms of intimacy that emerge from everyday life.

Finally, Caracolas adopts the same pattern as the garment-letters but unfurls in serpentine forms that entangle themselves on the pillars, creating folds and gaps. The pieces curl and rise, escaping straightness to open up new possible configurations.
