Pep Duran, an artist represented by the RocioSantaCruz gallery, participates in the exhibition ‘Metaphysics of Fragility. From the avant-garde to conceptual art ‘, curated by Pilar Parcerisas, from September 16 to December 4, 2021 at the Fundació Vallpalou.
“Poor sculpture is a recurring line of work during the 20th century with less concern for “form” than for “concept “and its evolution has led to its dematerialization.”
We share this article by Conxita Oliver for El Temps de les Arts about ‘Biografía # Disociada’ the exhibition by the artist Miquel Mont:
“Miquel Mont (Barcelona, 1963) conceives his particular practice of painting as an analytical inquiry into the negation of representation in order to vindicate its materiality. But this time he works with the dichotomy of the figurative and the abstract; at a historical moment when both concepts seem to have blurred more than ever, the boundaries between the two are imprecise, so that all too often we find ourselves doomed to more than confusion and deception.”

The artist Ouka Leele, represented by the RocioSantaCruz gallery, presents until 24.10.2021 the exhibition Ouka Leele. Supernova at Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.
“La exposición Ouka Leele. Supernova nace fruto de la colaboración con el Archivo Lafuente, institución que conserva unos mil quinientos fondos de la obra de la artista –la mayoría inéditos–, de los cuales se han seleccionado trabajos fotográficos, dibujos, material audiovisual y proyectos editoriales correspondientes a los primeros años de carrera durante la década de los 70 y 80. Se trata de un recorrido en el que su faceta como dibujante cobra especial protagonismo, junto a una amplia selección de fotografías en blanco y negro y donde también hay hueco para algunas de las obras que componen su aclamada serie fotográfica Peluquería.”
“The exhibition Ouka Leele. Supernova was born as a result of the collaboration with the Archivo Lafuente, an institution that preserves some 1,500 collections of the artist’s work – most of them unpublished -, from which photographic works, drawings, audiovisual material and editorial projects corresponding to the first years of his career during the 70s and 80s have been chosen. It is a journey in which her facet as a cartoonist takes on special prominence, along with a wide selection of black and white photographs and where there is also a gap for some of the works that make up her acclaimed photographic series Peluquería.”

Sharing with you Um arquivo de nuvens encontrado, Zaida Trallero’s article for Umbigo Magazine about Andrés Galeano’s exhibition Fons perdut de núvols, at the Centre Mataró Art Contemporani and the RocioSantaCruz gallery.
“Our most frequent approach to heaven is still that of an ironic eye. We tend to look at it as a guide to the atmospheric state or as pure contemplation. Sometimes in search of transcendental thoughts or the pure and simple pleasure of looking at it.
Fons precut de núvols is an artistic investigation by Andrés Galeano (Mataró, Spain, 1980), which begins with the discovery of the 1939 book: els núvols confiscats, by J. Batlló and M. Busto. An investigation on the archive of the old Catalan Meteorological Service, kept at the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia in Barcelona. The project is presented in the form of an exhibition and an artist’s book and is exhibited in two places, in Mataró Art Contemporani and in the Rocío Santa Cruz Gallery, in Barcelona, both co-producers of the project.
Galeano’s artistic practice is part of post-photography. He stopped taking photographs to work with photographs of other people, most of them taken by anonymous amateur photographers, found at antique markets and fairs. His great collection, years of collection, is exhibited and displayed in parts of his works. Most of the images are linked to the subject that he has been investigating for years: transcendence in relation to the photographic medium, whose visual representation addresses the celestial. On this occasion, he is working for the first time with an official archive, which allows him to activate a whole series of topics already dealt with in his previous works, condensing many of his interests, in addition to contributing to the recovery of historical memory through his artistic practice.
In his project, Galeano proposes three ways of approaching the sky through photography: the physical, the metaphysical and the digital. ”

We share the wonderful article by Conxita Oliver for El Temps de les Arts about the exhibition ‘Fons perdut de núvols’ by Andrés Galeano, at the MAC Mataró Art Contemporani and RocioSantaCruz gallery.
Below we show you the article Arco, the kingdom of women, by Roberta Bosco in El País on July 12, 2021, where she refers to the RocioSantaCruz stand.
Rocío Santacruz dedicated her special project to Mar Arza, who intervenes old books turning them into rare objects and who presented a large installation in homage to the Chalk Cabinet of the Basque sculptor Jorge Oteiza. Santacruz also exhibited two audiovisual reinterpretations of the still life in a technological and hyper-realistic key by Marina Núñez, awarded the ARCO-Beep Prize for Electronic Art, which thus became part of this Catalan collection. Colita’s photographs, revealed by her in the 60s and 70s, completed a proposal presided over by the portraits of the 44 artists of the Bauhaus (defined with contempt “the weavers” by the machismo of the European avant-garde), gathered in a mural of 10 meters by Gonzalo Elvira.
