Arte In MadBlue: OcEAN, SEA
Arts and creative processes have the challenge of facilitating positive change from an ethical and conscious perspective. Arts, design, architecture, innovation and science come together at MadBlue, to become a transformative tool. The art at MadBlue reminds us that its existence goes beyond the artwork to offer us a critical vision of our world.
EXHIBITION
“OcEAN, SEA”
Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque
“Ocean Sea ” is the title of Alessandro Baricco’s novel of the same name, a work in which echoes and allusions, inventions and discoveries proliferate. In the novel, if the sea is the theme, the ocean is the excess, where everyone ends up going, an unspeakable place where time disappears. If Baricco’s novel aims to “say the sea”, this exhibition attempts to “express” it by delving into its complexities and mysteries.
ARTISTS: Alberto Carneiro, Enar de Dios Rodríguez, Dan Graham, Julia Llerena, Eva Lootz, Nacho Martín Silva, Mireya Masó, Rosell Meseguer, Ding Musa, Lois Patiño, Keke Vilabelda.
COMMISSIONER: Mónica Maneiro
