The title refers to the \u201cland of the living,\u201d an expression that, rather than affirming a stable or fixed condition, shifts experience toward a territory of continuous oscillation, shaped by uncertainty, transformation, and a structural sense of mystery.\r\n\r\nIn this body of work,\u00a0Aikman\u00a0does not describe a place in a literal sense, but constructs a suspended mental geography in which traditional coordinates of reading are progressively destabilised. Painting operates as a field of friction between the recognisable and the elusive, between the formation of an image and its immediate unravelling.\r\n\r\nThese paintings expand the exhibition\u2019s universe by functioning as fragments of a single perceptual system, where the boundary between land and sea, figure and ground, appearance and disappearance, remains deliberately unstable. The image is not presented as assertion, but as a transitional state, a surface on which perception reorganises itself without ever reaching definitive fixation.\r\n\r\n<b>Barcelona Gallery Weekend<\/b>","event_category":103,"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:\/\/www.barcelonagalleryweekend.com\/expo.php?lang=cat&id=185","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/www.barcelonagalleryweekend.com\/expo.php?lang=esp&id=185","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/www.barcelonagalleryweekend.com\/expo.php?lang=eng&id=185","event_contact_email":"","event_apply_email":"","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":true,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Suburbia Contemporary","abe_event_category":"Exposici\u00f3","start":"2026-09-17 00:00:00","end":"2026-10-17 23:59:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":1,"until":"2026-09-17 00:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/59449","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\/138"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/59449\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=59449"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=59449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
