Teresa Solar Abboud. Bird Machine Dream

The resistance of language and the morphology of speech are two characteristics of the work of Teresa Solar (Madrid, 1985). Her work is based on a continuous search for multiple concepts presented as enormous sculptural installations that, in recent years, have become more complex through forms related to resistance, hollowness, the body and bone structure. The artist began using drawing and video as her fundamental work tools, but over time her production has come to focus on sculpture, exploring new materials with which she articulates forms that refer to elements related to the organic and lead to a world of metaphors that hint at the flow of currents, voids and the connectivity between orifices and gaps.

The Museo CA2M and MACBA were the initiators of this solo exhibition of the work of Teresa Solar, showcasing her production in recent years. Curated by Tania Pardo – Assistant Director of Museo CA2M – and Claudia Segura – Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at MACBA –, the exhibition alludes to the relationship with matter, language and bodily production through a museography that varies, changes and expands in a very different way in each of the three participating venues.
