A couple of Portuguese artists and one from Spain will be starring an exhibit at the Blanca Berlin Gallery beginning April 14.

André Cepeda (Coimbra, Portugal, 1976), Dalila Gonçalves (Castelo de Paiva, Portugal, 1982) and Linarejos Moreno (Madrid, 1974) refer in their works to the process, to time as a necessary condition for creation. That’s why they have chosen photography and video as their expression tools of choice.

Commissioner Nerea Ubieto commented in the curatorial text that the selected pieces –Living Stones, 2010 by Gonçalves, “underscores the cyclic concept of life and nature, equally ingrained in the arts as a mechanism that feeds on what already exists and that will eventually become a platform to support new forms of creation.” As far as Sequência movimiento, by Cepeda, she wrote that “the relationship with time becomes a determining factor once again,” while in reference to Moreno’s Intersecciones arquitectónicas photographic sequence, she asserts that the artist “looks for history-laden architecture in an effort to make them stand temporarily aloof from their function, only to turn them into places where the past and his personal memory are mixed in some sort of spatial experience open to a multitude of discourses.”
