Metaphysics of fragility. From the avant-gardes to conceptual art

From September 16 - December 4, 2021
Opening: Thursday, September 16, 2021 at 7 pm.
Curator: Pilar Parcerisas
Joan Miró was, in terms of Surrealist research, a point of reference of the avant-garde for the post-war informalist generation, while Leandre Cristòfol from Lleida, together with Àngel Ferrant, constituted the axis of avant-garde experimental sculpture. This formed a bridge between the pre-war avant-garde generation and that of post-war painters and sculptors, a lineage that includes Antoni Tàpies, an outstanding figure through to the dissolution of sculpture as a specific discipline within the parameters of arte povera and conceptual art. This imaginative attitude, grounded in fragile or ephemeral materials, fragments of reality, objects found in the framework of the day-to-day and the refusal to execute works in the noble materials reserved for sculptural use brings the artist closer to a paradigm of expressive experience and simplicity in its pure state. The chronology of the works recovers the historical evolution of the dematerialisation of the art object by the generation of artists of the 1970s, more closely aligned with the conceptual options, and those who continued along this path in the 1980s and 1990s.

Pere Bellès. M1 IFT LLD (Mural1 InFrastrucTures LLeiDa)

From November 13, 2020 - September 30, 2021
Opening: Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 12 pm.
Curator: Pilar Parcerisas
Pere Bellès 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. The artist has been inspired by the junctions of the roads connecting the Lleida railway infrastructures that appear in the Municipal Plan. 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.
