Gonzalo Elvira participates in the documentary Invitation au voyage. Ibiza / Taïwan / Angers, which explores the artistic, cultural and natural heritage of Ibiza, Taïwan and Angers from the perspective of Walter Benjamin. Gonzalo Elvira brings his artistic perspective and the inspiration that the German philosopher brings to his work from Ibiza, a place of inspiration for both. For the German Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin, the island of Ibiza was a true refuge. In 1932, the thinker, translator and art critic fled the precariousness of his life in Berlin. On the white island of Ibiza, where he met with other European intellectuals, Walter Benjamin immersed himself in local traditions to perfect his anti-capitalist thought. In this ephemeral haven of peace he wrote some of his most important texts.
Artist Diogo Pimentão exhibits EM CONTACTO at VNBM Arte Contemporánea, from 11.11.2023 to 28.01.2023. In the show, Diogo Pimentão’s graphite creations explore the fascinating crossover between drawing and sculpture, revealing the tensions and connections between both media. Paper is transformed into sculptures that evoke the appearance of steel, capturing the essence of bodily gesture in drawing strokes, and fusing raw building materials to give life to fragile works where destruction and reconstruction are inseparably intertwined.
