Galeria Estrany-de la Mota BARCELONA | SPAIN
JUNE 30, 2017-SEPTEMBER 15, 2017
The Galeria Estrany-de la Mota is
pleased to present the group exhibition Displays of Affection I: Cartographing
the Memory.
The project Displays of Affection
uses the methodologies of dialectical conflict, in which new ideas emerge from
the apparent collision of different images in order to construct a possible
mapping of the lines of research of the Estrany-de la Mota gallery. This map is
the result of a process of inventorying and cataloguing of the funds that has
been carried out in the last year and a half in the gallery. This work in
progress that allow us to discover new territories. This process has led to
heterogeneous results very close to the archaeological proposals of visual
knowledge by authors such as Georges Didi-Huberman, where the overlays of all
these images allow endless cross-relations.
The project wants to emphasize the
links that can be established between these images as well as reading these
links with the tools provided in the “affective turn” coined by Patricia
Clough. It pretends to rebuild the interstices between these images, paying
special attention to the significance of affections. From visualizing all these
affective links, we can rebuild a community, which is definitely the most
faithful image of the gallery project.
The project Displays of Affection is
conceived as two exhibition moments. The former works as cartography of the
past that allows a balance of the trajectory (Cartographing the Memory), while
the latter proposes a future hypothesis as a responsibility for its continuity
(Imagine the Future). Both are understood as representations for the activation
of ideas and relationships that enable the continuous enriching of the
forthcoming future.
