La mancha no tiene forma definida, sino que es un resto inclasificable, un accidente sin nombre. La fascinaci\u00f3n por el fuego se debe a su incesante movimiento y su capacidad de excitar casi todos los sentidos al mismo tiempo. El crepitar de lo que se quema desprende un olor insoportable. Mientras los colores bailan, su calor reconforta tanto como asusta. El t\u00edtulo de este proyecto expositivo propone una imagen como punto de partida. Like a Fire in the Sun remite a un riesgo hoy en d\u00eda muy real: la imposibilidad de escuchar y percibir (es decir, de prestar atenci\u00f3n) dentro de una incesante y envolvente saturaci\u00f3n de informaci\u00f3n e im\u00e1genes que somete nuestra atenci\u00f3n a un desquicio continuo, lo que impide enfocar y detenerse un tiempo suficiente en cualquier detalle, incluso aquel que finalmente resulte decisivo.\r\n\r\nEn realidad, es muy dif\u00edcil observar un fuego dentro de otro fuego infinitamente mayor como es el Sol. Se trata de una imagen casi imposible. Y, sin embargo, lo importante es justamente aguardar esta posibilidad. Hallar una mancha cuya visibilidad depende s\u00f3lo de una leve diferencia. Si todo ardiera exactamente igual, no habr\u00eda nada que ver. Un fuego en el sol deber\u00eda ser invisible \u2014 y sin embargo a veces queda un resto, una diferencia de temperatura, una densidad distinta que delata la presencia de algo informe e insumiso a la saturaci\u00f3n que vuelve todo indistinguible.\r\n\r\nLas obras de Javier Arce, Manuel M. Romero, Natalia L\u00f3pez de la Oliva y Al\u00edcia Vogel parecen estar dispuestas en el espacio alargado de la galer\u00eda Mayoral para proporcionar encuentros con lo que a\u00fan no tiene nombre. Parecen brindar al espectador destellos para gozar de la pintura y, tras una lenta observaci\u00f3n, encontrar lo que desborda y excede sin someterse a la tiran\u00eda de la forma domesticada; aunque esta sea casi imposible de representar, como un fuego dentro del sol.\u00bb\r\n\r\nTexto de Francesco Giaveri, comisario de la exposici\u00f3n.","desc_en":"\u201c(\u2026) I sense that the artists gathered for this project intend to paint the fire-stains on the sun with sulfur. The stain has no definite form; it is an unclassifiable remnant, an accident without a name. The fascination with fire stems from its ceaseless movement and its capacity to excite nearly all the senses at once. The crackling of what burns releases an unbearable smell. While the colours dance, its heat comforts as much as it frightens.\r\n\r\nThe title of this exhibition proposes an image as a starting point.\u00a0<i>Like a Fire in the Sun\u00a0<\/i>evokes a very real risk today: the impossibility of listening and perceiving \u2014 that is, of paying attention \u2014 within an incessant and enveloping saturation of information and images that subjects our attention to continuous disorientation, preventing us from focusing on or lingering long enough with any detail, even the one that ultimately proves decisive.\r\n<div>It is very difficult to observe a fire within another fire infinitely larger, such as the Sun. It is an almost impossible image. And yet, what matters is precisely to await this possibility. To find a stain whose visibility depends only on a slight difference. If everything burned in the same way, there would be nothing to see. A fire in the sun ought to be invisible \u2014 and yet sometimes a remnant remains: a temperature difference, a distinct density that betrays the presence of something formless and resistant to the saturation that renders everything indistinguishable.<\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div>The works of Javier Arce, Manuel M. Romero, Natalia L\u00f3pez de la Oliva, and Al\u00edcia Vogel seem to be arranged in the elongated space of the Mayoral gallery to offer encounters with what has not yet been named. They seem to offer the viewer flashes through which to take pleasure in painting and, after slow observation, to find what overflows and exceeds without submitting to the tyranny of domesticated form \u2014 even if this is almost impossible to represent, like a fire within the sun.\u201d<\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div>Text by Francesco Giaveri, curator of the exhibition<\/div>","event_category":189,"event_show_only_own_date":true,"_event_confirmed":true,"_event_public":true,"_event_free":true,"_event_price-min":"","_event_price-max":"","_event_web_ca":"https:\/\/galeriamayoral.com\/","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/galeriamayoral.com\/","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/galeriamayoral.com\/","event_contact_email":"","event_apply_email":"","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":false,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Galeria Mayoral","abe_event_category":"Inauguraci\u00f3","start":"2026-04-15 19:00:00","end":"2026-04-15 21:00:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":0,"until":"2026-04-15 19:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/56078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/134"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/56078\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=56078"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=56078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
