Artist book presentation

The artist Miquel Matas Ferrer presents for ART NOU the ending of the project L’ÚLTIMA TERRA. The project is based on an investigation that takes as a case study and pretext the last stocks extracted from the so-called Remei clay, a type of white clay that was extracted in the area around La Bisbal d’Empordà in the eighties and nineties of the last century. Likewise, the extinction of a clay that is rarely used and is no longer extracted can also be understood as a metaphor for our consumption rhythms, the fragility of natural resources and the supremacy of the anthropocene. From this research work, the artist proposes a series of visual, objectual and performative approaches that, at the same time, speculate on the possible destiny of this last earth.
