This exhibition brings together a selection of works that are part of this Mediterranean Foundation Collection deposited at the MACA. The exhibition brings together a series of works by different artists that share a common creative process. A fragmented process, made in pieces, often asymmetrical and that reveals the structure of the work, always with an uncomfortable sensation of nakedness or defenselessness.
Artists who do not offer solutions but rather question, and convey to the viewer, the problems of a reality that has been taking shape in an increasingly complex and fragmentary way, where ideologies have lost their validity and social, political or aesthetic discourse has become incomplete, precarious and, in many cases, chaotic. All of this is evident in the works of art that are exhibited here.
The exhibition brings together a selection of works that are part of the CAM Collection of Contemporary Art deposited in this museum, thanks to the agreement signed by the City Council of Alicante and Caja Mediterráneo, for a period of five years. Silent Genealogies brings together a series of works by artists such as: Isidro Blasco, Toño Barreriro, Txomín Badiola, Pello Iraza, José Ramón Amondarain, Daniel Gutiérrez Verbis, Miquel Mont and Manu Muniategiandikoetxea, strongly linked and influenced by constructivism and minimalism, which share in common the elaboration process in which the architectural concept of construction and deconstruction stands out. In these visits, questions are raised related to three-dimensionality, surface, space, idea or constructive process. To do this, three strategies are implemented: observation, dialogue and manipulation of materials, images and very diverse objects that complemented the explanation of some of the works, such as a deconstructed image of the museum and its surroundings, works by constructivist and minimalist artists such as Malevich and Mondrian, the Tatlin Tower or the Basque flag alluding to the colors most represented in the exhibition.In collaboration with Ester G.
