Teresa Vall Palou. Speck of dust, glow-wormFrom December 4, 2020 - March 27, 2021
Opening: Thursday, December 3, 2020 at 7 pm. Curator: Pilar Parcerisas Teresa Vall Palou’s latest paintings are compositions that are born from an “interior need”, far removed from external appearances and objects, in which the vital impulse is ordered with color and materials. They maintain the white background of the canvas, a colour that is fullness and nothingness, and are organized in very short series, recording emotional moments that tighten color and shape, initiating a period of maturity and synthesis. Compositions ranging from color to form, from chaos to order, from the particular to the universal, from objective chance to subjective control, from object to subject. It is a work open to each viewer, a mirror where each one can project themselves and rediscover their emotions, the result of an abstract thought that only responds to the spiritual condition of being. |

Poetic machines: Duchamp, Man Ray, PicabiaFrom December 4, 2020 - March 27, 2021
Opening: Thursday, December 3, 2020 at 7 pm. Curator: Pilar Parcerisas In the 20th century, the appearance of the machine and mechanical reproduction changed the concept of beauty and eroticism. Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia open the doors of art history to artistic machinism, with the machine célibataire or single machine of art. This exhibition is held on the occasion of the incorporation of seven works by Marcel Duchamp and one by Man Ray to the Vall Palou Foundation collection, authors who together with Francis Picabia, articulate a new vision of art, revolutionary and disruptive, which we understand as artistic machinism in the historical avant-gardes. |

Pere Bellès. M1 IFT LLD (Mural1 InFrastrucTures LLeiDa)Opening: Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 12 pm.
Curator: Pilar Parcerisas In this project, designed for Lleida, the artist has worked on the idea of flow, movement, a concept of the city-region that goes from the city as a protective shell to the diffuse city. This project has been inspired by the junctions of the roads connecting the Lleida railway infrastructures that appear in the Municipal Plan that includes the following stations: Torres-Salsas Station, Segre Station Polygon, Lleida-Pirineos Station and Lleida Station – September the 11th. In his work, the artist looks for the movement arteries of the territory flow and close or expand them in themselves as neighborhood units. His capacity for dialogue with the physical and territorial space converts urban planimetries, architectural projects and cartographic maps into abstract compositions with the appearance of ideograms close to neoplastic abstraction. |

Artur Aguilar. The Poetics of pure GeometryFrom September 18 to November 14, 2020
Opening: Thursday, September 17, 2020 at 7 pm. Curator: Pilar Parcerisas The painter Artur Aguilar finds Euclidean geometry in nature, the balance that is in the interior of nature from The Golden Ratio. But this is not a static fact in nature, it is also a dynamic one as shown by the movement of a hawk flying downward making a logarithmic spiral. He has put the pictorial space at the service of the mathematical rules that govern nature and The Golden Ratio that the Renaissance links to the idea of perfect proportion and beauty. It combines the constructive spirit of the space with the optical vibration of the color that gives warmth and emotion to these modular and minimalist series. |

Pep Duran. Draw the daysFrom February 7 to July 18, 2020
Opening: Thursday, February 6, 2020 at 7 pm. Curator: Pilar Parcerisas How to describe life time? Pep Duran does this by stacking papers, wood, objects, scribbles and fragments of a found reality. It acts as a time trapper and gives a new breath of life to a time made pieces like life itself. In spite of looking for the form in his unit, everything ends up being a piece, a splinter of the rest of the day, and he strives to add forms, as in the dress, unity of fragments and patterns: a sleeve, a neck, a fist, a hat. Stacking the days, with their sizzle, disorder and inevitable accumulation unites man with his vital chaos. Poet of time, draw the days with these collages that are his notebooks. |

Vall Palou. Fire SuiteFrom October 17, 2019 to January 20, 2000
Opening: Thursday, October 17, 2019 at 7 pm. Curator: Carles Duarte i Montserrat. Fire Suite is an exhibition conceived from the successful experience of Vall Palou with raku ceramics, accompanied by several paintings on canvas that place us in a single chromatic universe. This is a wide and coherent proposal, which was developed through a wellarticulated sequence. If the name of the exhibition evokes in us the intervention of fire in the raku procedure, it also leads us to think about the tenuous thread that unites life and death, as aspects within a single cycle, of an infinite dance that incessantly begins time and time again. |

Felícia Fuster. Visual HaikúsFrom October 17, 2019 to January 20, 2000
Opening: Thursday, October 17, 2019 at 7 pm. Curator: Pilar Parcerisas In visual haikus, two languages in which Felícia Fuster stood out converge: in poetry and painting. If the poetry is “combat” and “body”, the plastic is composition, central theme, gesture in movement, which crosses space like the word slides across the white of the paper. There, we find collages on blue wrapped in black that become lyrical strokes, made from fragments of engraved prints, intuitively organised in full and empty spaces. They are calligraphies in gestures on the sidereal, unreal spaces, of dreams, in which what counts is the fragment, the rhythm, the deconstruction. Their precision and simplicity easily relate them to the oriental values of emptiness and silence. As in the haikus that I wrote, the long pause in reading becomes silence, but also a plastically empty space, as if it were a sculpture. |

Vall Palou. See yourself in the archipelagoFrom September 19, 2018 to March 15, 2019
Opening: Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. Curator: Fina duran i Riu See yourself in the archipelago, it is a strategy, a journey through the different layers of the creative work structures. It becomes a way of composing different readings from Vall Palou creations, to go a little further in the perception of what she suggests. We understand the artist creative set as an archipelago composed by different islands, from this idea we can understand this visit as a tour by aspects such as process, colour, form, written symbols, volumes, prints and objects. The union of all these sections can help us, or perhaps not, to configure a more in-depth knowledge of your creative task, but in any case you will surely discover unpublished aspects of your work. |

Vall Palou. I just can't resist it
From October 27, 2017 to July 2, 2018
Opening: Thursday, October 26, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. Curator: Glòria Bosch Vall Palou places us in each of the spaces of the journey as if it were a circle of affinities that unfolds into a synthesis-antithesis, unfolding the difference in the artist’s records. An open process in which to generate contrasts is most evident as a visual ensemble and at the same time as an individual composition, always between expressive rhythms that transcend any world prescribed to inhabit us. Light, matter, color, transparency, opacity, gesture, space, time, chance..., a cluster of references that would not be there without emptiness and absence. |
