Sins & Capitals –
or a certain mist for empty spaces
3. – 11.2.2024
The curatorial program SINS AND CAPITALS, or a certain mist for empty spaces consists of (I) five exhibitions in international spaces- FRISE/ Hamburg, SALÓN/Madrid, LE CUBE/Rabat, LE 18/Marrakech, P////AKT/Amsterdam-, (II) the screening of two films at DÍNAMO/Porto, (III) and an editorial project. Based on the work of Caspar David Friedrich- Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer-and the premise that space is freedom, critical approaches are called for between the space we inhabit and the exhibition space. Considering the multiplicity of meanings that we can find in the concepts of „space“, „mist“ and „capital“, the project convokes some philosophical, ethical and political implications that articulate ecology, economy and artistic practice. The works to be produced by the artists (most of whom have an established artistic career and are accompanied by emerging artists) will be formalized through drawing, sculpture, sound, installation and film. In this project, physical space is assumed a determining and operative conceptual tool for the plastic and sound materialization of works. The in situ proposals therefore different in each of the five exhibition spaces, affirm the work and the space as elements that mutually build each other up.
