Para lxs artistxs, utilizar estos diagramas como una primera capa tiene que ver con un lectura influenciada por la iron\u00eda de \u201ctener una receta para todo\u201d y una alusi\u00f3n al aspiracionismo en lo referente al arte y al mercado, nuevamente cuestionando si la f\u00f3rmula perfecta plasmada en la pintura equivale a la pintura perfecta o s\u00f3lo es un fracaso m\u00e1s ante la literalidad de los motivos y la banalidad intr\u00ednseca de aquellos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Todxs alguna vez hemos hecho un mal s\u00e1ndwich o quemado la pasta; es entonces cuando el panorama completo de la composici\u00f3n aparece no s\u00f3lo como un acto de copiar y pegar sino como diversos gestos conceptuales de lxs artistxs acerca de jugar con lo ya establecido a partir del deseo de ganar y as\u00ed restituir la idea.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Valladares y Gress Mu\u00f1oz saben que no hay nada nuevo en copiar im\u00e1genes provenientes de internet y cultura popular. Para esta nueva serie de obras, decidieron juntar objetos en composiciones espec\u00edficas de la forma m\u00e1s ingenua y casual, sin pretensiones de ser h\u00e1biles en este sentido, m\u00e1s bien por el mero placer de re\u00edrse de uno mismo y de sus referentes.<br \/><em>\u201cSi les da miedo perder\u2026\u201d<\/em>\u00a0est\u00e1 desarrollado ante el pensamiento de una perspectiva temporal, se percibe el paso del tiempo como un punto ciego en el que repites lo que alguien ya ha dicho, ya ha visto, ya ha pensado.<br \/>\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The exhibition is composed of new paintings and installative sculptures with motifs about the abstraction of form and emotionality within various compositions; they\u2019re proto-digitally developed artworks that maintain a flat nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The paintings represent diagrams of all kinds, from the recipe for cooking pasta, the preparation of a sandwich and even a safety manual for a drill. For the artists, using these diagrams as a first layer has to do with a reading influenced by the irony of \u201chaving a recipe for everything\u201d and the allusion of aspirationism in relation to art and the market, again questioning whether the perfect formula for painting is the equivalent to making the perfect painting or is it just another failure in the face of the literality of the motifs and their intrinsic banality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We have all made a bad sandwich or burned pasta at some point; it\u2019s then when the panorama of the big picture appears to be not only an act of just copy-pasting, but also of varying conceptual gestures by the artists about playing with what is already established based on the desire to win over it and thus restore an idea.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Valladeres and Gress Mu\u00f1oz know that there is nothing new to copying images from the internet and popular culture. For this new series of works, they decided to put together objects in specific compositions in the most naive and casual way, without pretensions of being skillful in this regard but for the mere pleasure of laughing at oneself and their references.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The exhibition is developed through the framework of a temporal perspective \u2013 the passage of time is perceived as a blind spot in which you repeat what someone has already said, has already seen, and has already thought.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Artistas\/artists:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Alicia Valladares, Fernando Gress Mu\u00f1oz<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La exposici\u00f3n est\u00e1 compuesta de nuevas pinturas y esculturas instalativas con motivos retomando la abstracci\u00f3n de la forma y la [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":11641,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"fecha_de_inicio":1724526000,"fecha_de_finalizacion":1727560800,"duracion_evento":"","modalidad":"","tipo_de_acceso":"","precio_evento":"","link_externo":"","direccion":"Av.
