Desenvolupada durant la seva resid\u00e8ncia a Piramid\u00f3n, Centre d\u2019Art Contemporani de Barcelona, l\u2019exposici\u00f3 reuneix un nou cos de treball que explora la tensi\u00f3 entre l\u2019exc\u00e9s i l\u2019abs\u00e8ncia, voler-ne m\u00e9s i voler menys, aferrar-se i deixar anar.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">La pr\u00e0ctica de Labattaglia est\u00e0 profundament arrelada en la mem\u00f2ria, el patrimoni i la hist\u00f2ria personal. El seu enfocament de la pintura \u00e9s intu\u00eftiu i guiat pel proc\u00e9s, combinant tela amb collage i oli amb obres de menor format en oli i lli sobre tela cosida a m\u00e0. Les capes es construeixen, es freguen per retirar-les i es tornen a cobrir, creant superf\u00edcies on els fragments, les textures i els gestos anteriors romanen integrats dins de la pe\u00e7a.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">En aquesta nova s\u00e8rie, el color, les formes i els patrons a trav\u00e9s d\u2019un proc\u00e9s diferent i instintiu. Elements familiars tornen al llarg de les pintures, canviant entre la claredat i la desaparici\u00f3 a mesura que les capes s\u2019afegeixen i s\u2019eliminen. Les superf\u00edcies resultants reflecteixen l\u2019inter\u00e8s de l\u2019artista per la relaci\u00f3 entre all\u00f2 que es revela i all\u00f2 que roman ocult.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hi ha una sensaci\u00f3 de recerca al llarg de <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Too Much Not Enough<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: de l\u2019equilibri, de la connexi\u00f3, d\u2019alguna cosa que potser mai no acaba d\u2019assentar-se completament. En lloc de resoldre aquesta incertesa, Labattaglia permet que romangui dins de les pintures, ocupant l\u2019espai entre el ple i el buit, la pres\u00e8ncia i l\u2019abs\u00e8ncia, massa i no prou.<\/span>","desc_es":"<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Too Much Not Enough<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> es la primera exposici\u00f3n individual en Barcelona de Emma Labattaglia (Melbourne, Australia, 1980), presentada en Escat Projects en L\u2019Hospitalet de Llobregat del 15 de octubre al 13 de noviembre de 2026. Desarrollada durante su residencia en Piramid\u00f3n Centre d\u2019Art Contemporani de Barcelona, la exposici\u00f3n re\u00fane un nuevo cuerpo de trabajo que explora la tensi\u00f3n entre el exceso y la ausencia, querer m\u00e1s y querer menos, aferrarse y dejar ir.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">La pr\u00e1ctica de Labattaglia est\u00e1 profundamente arraigada en la memoria, el patrimonio y la historia personal.

Las capas se construyen, se frotan para retirarlas y se vuelven a cubrir, creando superficies donde los fragmentos, las texturas y los gestos anteriores permanecen integrados en la pieza.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">En esta nueva serie, el color, las formas y los patrones emergen a trav\u00e9s de un proceso diferente e instintivo. Elementos familiares regresan a lo largo de las pinturas, cambiando entre la claridad y la desaparici\u00f3n a medida que las capas se a\u00f1aden y se eliminan.

Developed during her residency at Piramid\u00f3n Centre d\u2019Art Contemporani in Barcelona, the show brings together a new body of work exploring the tension between excess and absence, wanting more and wanting less, holding on and letting go.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Labattaglia\u2019s practice is deeply rooted in memory, heritage and personal history. Her approach to painting is intuitive and process-driven, combining collaged canvas and oil with smaller artworks in oil and linen on hand-stitched canvas. Layers are built, rubbed back and covered again, creating surfaces where fragments, textures and previous gestures remain embedded within the piece.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this new series, colour, shaped and repeated forms emerge through a different and instinctive process. Familiar elements return throughout the paintings, shifting between clarity and disappearance as layers are added and removed. The resulting surfaces reflect the artist\u2019s interest in the relationship between what is revealed and what remains hidden.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a sense of searching throughout <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Too Much Not Enough<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: for balance, for connection, for something that may never fully settle. Rather than resolving this uncertainty, Labattaglia allows it to remain within the paintings, occupying the space between full and empty, presence and absence, too much and not enough.<\/span>","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:\/\/escatgallery.com\/","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/escatgallery.com\/","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/escatgallery.com\/","event_contact_email":"projects@escatgallery.com","event_apply_email":"projects@escatgallery.com","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":false,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Escat Projects","abe_event_category":"Inauguraci\u00f3","start":"2026-10-15 19:00:00","end":"2026-10-15 21:00:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":0,"until":"2026-10-15 19:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/60546","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\/206"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/60546\/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\/61000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=60546"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=60546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
