Oriol Vilapuig takes part in the exhibition Rodoreda, a forest at the CCCB

 

It is a pleasure to announce the participation of Oriol Vilapuig in the exhibition Rodoreda, un bosque, which the CCCB will inaugurate on 5 December 2025 and which will be open to visitors until 25 May 2026.

Curated by Neus Penalba, the exhibition offers an immersive journey through the literary imagination of Mercè Rodoreda, articulated around the metaphor of the forest—its symbols and its many layers of meaning. In this context, Vilapuig’s work enters into dialogue with the various pieces and materials that shape this visual reading of the Rodoredian universe, contributing a contemporary perspective that expands and enriches the curatorial proposal.

At Galería RocíoSantaCruz, we celebrate this new institutional collaboration, which highlights the relevance of Oriol Vilapuig’s work and his presence in high-profile cultural projects.

The Breathing Lake by Dionis Escorsa at Loop Fair

 

RocioSantaCruz gallery presents Dionis Escorsa‘s work The Breathing Lake, in collaboration with Albert Merino, at Loop Fair.

A video mapping projection is displayed on a painting depicting the famous semi-submerged bell tower of the Sau reservoir, using real-time data provided by a weather website adjusted to the coordinates of the location so that the painting subtly changes its atmosphere throughout the day. This also provides a real-time (pictorial) measurement of the region water reserves, based on data from the Hydrographic Confederation.

La instalación ofrece también la posibilidad de contemplar los cambios atmosféricos de modo acelerado. Así, la oscilación del nivel del agua produce una impresión de latido o respiración del paisaje que realza el abandono metafísico de la ruina religiosa.

The breathing lake consists of four large video-mapped paintings showing the Sau reservoir from the four cardinal points, together producing an immersive sensation. One of them is presented at Loop Fair, while the other three can be seen simultaneously at the RocioSantaCruz gallery, as part of the The Cosmic Bell and the Breathing Lake.

The piece can be visited until November 20th, in room 103 of the Almanac Hotel (Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 619–621, Barcelona).
