Georgina’s Echoes is an exhibition curated by Nekane Aramburu for the Centro de Arte La Regenta (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) that explores the interconnections of different actors of Western contemporary art: among them, the photographer Miguel Rio Branco. With more than 50 works comprised by the most contemporary languages, the figure of Canary Islands artist Georgina Houghton is highlighted on the basis of her Victorian roots. As the curator describes it, “it is a curatorial essay that tries to provoke her translation to a contemporary development of methodologies and concepts pointed out by her. The curatorial axes of this exhibition are linked to the possible existence of these parallel realities as incomprehensible invisible forces that have been and are treated in different ways in contemporary creation today. Experiences interwoven in loops of non-times, where what is relevant is the independence of working methods beyond trends or classifications. From a post-pandemic 21st century loaded with new ways of understanding what surrounds us, works created in the context of the art system are tuned in as resonances close to Georgiana. Resonances that are tangibly embodied in the exhibition spaces”.
The exhibition can be visited until June 24, 2023 at the Exhibition Hall of the Instituto Canarias Cabrera Pinto.
