Andrés Galeano in Murs écrans. VU Broadcast and Production Center of Photography, Québec.

Andres Galeano participates in the group exhibition Murs écrans, an exhibition that brings together five artists, both Quebecois and Catalan, who undertook an exchange at the time of the pandemic, when international mass circulation was suspended and creation took place under lock and key. Evolving in a world of communication where image and thought overlap, the artistic reflection provokes different encounters with the Other. It is in this exhibition where Andres Galeano presents his latest research, SINDOGRAPHIES. Une étude photographique. Starting from a conceptualization of the Holy Shroud, the first proto-photography in history, he makes a photographic speculation on the formation of the mysterious image of the dead body of Christ on a linen cloth and its relationship with contemporary screens.

The exhibition will be on view from January 13 to February 19, 2023 at the Broadcast and Production Center of Photography, Québec (Canada).

Mar Arza, Pep Duran and Fina Miralles in MACBA Collection. Prelude, Barcelona

Mar Arza, Pep Duran and Fina Miralles participate in the new exhibition of the MACBA Collection. Prelude, which offers a space for reflection and critique in which the “art” experience is presented as a generating and emancipating principle. This new approach to the Collection will make use, in large part, of works acquired in recent years that seek new scenarios of relationship with existing works from the Collection. A new storytelling is thus configured that embraces absences and enables other discourses as common spaces, scenarios of the possible to question and update the forms of relationship that artistic practices establish with the subjects.

Curated by Elvira Dyangani Ose, Antònia M. Perelló Ferrer, Claudia Segura Campins and Patrícia Sorroche.

The exhibition will be on view from December 14, 2022 to mid-2024 at the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona.

Miguel Rio Branco Palavras Cruzadas

Miguel Rio Branco (1946) is one of the most respected names in contemporary Brazilian photography. The IMS Gallery with the exhibition Palavras Crusades takes up its original contribution by using photography as a basic element of visual writing, capable of giving new meanings to images. To do this, the artist reviews the entire archive of his life, from the rare black and white images, captured in New York in the 1970s, when he began his artistic experiments, to recent works. They are more than 200 works, which investigate topics such as sexuality, violence, pain and loneliness.

Until March 26, 2023

Oriol Vilapuig in Xestos, Formas e Actos. Nordés Gallery, Santiago de Compostela

A project curated by Ángel Calvo Ulloa
With the artists: Alejandra Pombo Su
Diego Vites
Mariana Caló and Francisco Queimadela
Oriol Vilapuig

Diego Vites, Alejandra Pombo Su, Oriol Vilapuig, Mariana Caló and Francisco Queimadela participate in this exhibition that does not want to vindicate past times, but to show with four well differentiated cases other ways of handling and quoting in a critical way the sources of the history of art. The exhibition is thus configured on the basis of a series of punctual or long-term works, which have in the forms attributed to the Romanesque an analytical, renewed starting point that flees from the atrophy that today is the fact of having turned the gestures of the avant-garde into ankylosing regionalist traditionalisms.

It can be visited until December 16 at Nordés Gallery, Santiago de Compostela.

Diogo Pimentão in Linear Transitions, Transient Bodies at The Drawing House, Paris

As an echo to the France-Portugal 2022 season, the Drawing House  hosts in its exhibition space the Drawing Hall, a solo exhibition by the artist Diogo Pimentão. The exhibition is supported by the Camões Cultural Center in Paris.
For Diogo Pimentão, working in a space inside a hotel was an opportunity to reflect on his relationship with such an unusual space, domestic and public at the same time. He rarely stays in a hotel for vacation, but rather for work purposes. But then, can the hotel become the extension of the artist’s mental space? The possibility of (re)thinking his work?

The exhibition will be on view until January 15, 2023 at  The Drawing House in Paris.

Miguel Trillo in Views and Glances (1980-2020), Photographic Encounters of Gijón, Barjola Museum

Like the nineteenth-century photo albums that showed the European bourgeoisie what the inhabitants of foreign countries were like, Miguel Trillo has formed a corpus of images that for the last four decades has collected what the young people of all kinds of urban tribes in Madrid, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Seoul and Kuala Lumpur are like. An entomologist who has been collecting weirdos since he started going to concerts in the Spanish capital in the mid-seventies, with the Movida on the verge of exploding. Trillo, 69, born in Jimena de la Frontera (Cádiz), receives this weekend a tribute in the 19th edition of the Photographic Encounters of Gijón.

The exhibition can be visited from November 25 to December 31, 2022 at the Barjola Museum in Gijon.
