Ricard Aymar presents his project (umbracle) not as a physical place, but as a space of the subconscious. This umbracle is the result of a personal journey into the shadows of the soul. A metaphorical, almost dreamlike world, inhabited by inner spectres, fragments hidden from others and very often from ourselves. At the same time, it is an attempt to understand who we are and where we come from. A nostalgic search for the origins where our identity is rooted. The shadow is also what connects us to the earth, showing that we have a body, that we are real. The creative process in Aymar’s work is experienced as an action that interrogates the inside, questions and discoveries that generate a collection of poetic silhouettes -ink and wine on paper- of the shadowy part of our existence. Installations and sculptures allow us to give volume to the inherent two-dimension of these shadows: from being the reflection of an object to being the object itself, with a weight and a presence, if finally in this process of inquiry there is a possible distinction between shadow and object, in the same way that happens between shadow and author.

Estralls is a series of prints showing different faces and the disruptive changes that the digital technological revolution has in the economy, environmentalism and society. It emphasizes a focus on human vulnerabilities: mental health, young people, poverty, job insecurity, housing speculation and migration policies. It is not intended to be a story, but a cry of injustice and pain.

Opening October 15

Arranged visits to cacis.elforndelacalc.cat

*_I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART_* is a narrative proposal where the alter ego of the artist Sandy Moldova can hug, touch, laugh, cry or take selfies with the avatars of her favorite artists: Dalila Virgolini, Tomoko Sawada, Shana Moulton, Molly Soda, Gillian Wearing and Pipilotti Rist. By creating a public and virtual room on the Zepeto mobile application, attendees will be able to access the virtual world of the artist and visit both his room and some of the works and reconstructed imaginaries of his references, while, in an analogical way, the artist will show an installation that seeks to materialize the boundaries between the virtual room (*_PERFECT_ROOM_*) and the physical room (in this case, the exhibition space of A Cobert), through the construction of an altar to its references. The artist is currently complementing the installation with a video-essay that simulates, with a visual tour of the different rooms of this virtual world, an open letter to his references and an epilogue to this work initiated with the support of the Art Jove 2021 awards. This video-essay will be viewed, for the first time, at the opening of the exhibition in a cobert.

Timetable:

Opening: November 12th at 12 noon.

You will see the people who make up Whites living and wearing the colors.

“:(skincare:)” is a photographic and video art project created by artist Ian Abecasis. At 30, he exposes himself to an introspective examination of his own identity. From a series of photographic and audiovisual self-portraits he reflects on the passage of time, investigating the subtlety of changes in the face and their perception through the format, resolution and incidence of light on the image.

As a result, an experimental piece where the artist uses a variety of techniques to explore her own concerns and internal reflections on age and its present.

The exhibition will be presented in Entorns, a creative space in the Pyrenees, where the work will be exhibited accompanied by visual content of the process.

Timetable:
02:00 pm

Lower the blue of the sky, the thoughts and emotions that float over the prison space and land them on an artistic support. Art as an engine for social inclusion and community, as a vehicle for care and creation.

Through the use of cyanotype, a technique of the nineteenth century, Carol Priego promotes a collaborative experimental photography project with the inmates of the Youth Penitentiary Center (CPJ) and local and international volunteers linked to various entities in the metropolitan area of Barcelona.

With the clear intention of valuing the female figures of history and our close reality, the project includes alternative photography workshops and an innovative exhibition space where five emerging and consolidated photographers dialogue with the young people of the center. The guest artists are: Laia Abril, Irene Zottola, Clara Gassull, Cecília Coca and Marta G. Cardellach.

During confinement, Jose Martín began to scrutinize, from his home, the digital paths of Google maps through Google’s Street View. His path was born out of the need to somehow break this state of captivity. During his tours, he extracted snapshots of moments captured by Google, took them out of context and archived them. It is here where his personal act became an aesthetic action.

His photographic works feature people, even animals, whose faces are pixelated as a result of the application of artificial intelligence algorithms for face and license plate recognition that the software is able to blur automatically.

Thanks to these anonymous faces, Jose Martín is able to capture unique moments with his snapshots, which awaken our sensitivity and open up multiple readings that speculate about the possibility of artistic, narrative and anthropological values of these images.

Timetable:

Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 5pm to 9pm
Tuesday and Friday from 5pm to 8pm
