Light Omission: The dilemmas of contemporaneity gathered in Cerquone Projects of Madrid.
21 proposals about a convulsive present meet in the exhibition "Light Omission", which will be inaugurated on Saturday, November 17, 2018 starting at 11:00 am, in the spaces of Cerquone Projects in Caracas, where artists from different countries seek to question -in technique and thought- the dilemmas of contemporaneity, through different languages. In this collective exhibition, the artists establish a dialogue of multiple themes and visions, about a world in which communications are virtual and meetings are through screens.
Thus, each of the participating pieces take part in the pictorial to experience a variety of images in which the engraving, collage, ceramics and photography, serve as a means of representation, and at the same time of questioning, "because nothing is so abstract or so figurative in a world that runs on the now, by delving into issues and forms antagonistic to mass production, in parallel to the fragmentation and individualism of the masses that make up the self-destructive present, "as outlined in the text by Manuel Vásquez-Ortega about the exhibition.
In "Light Omission" the artists Fausto Amundarain, Ruda, Javier Vivas, Jonathan Lara, Pedro Medina, Abraham Rosales, Luigui Cuchillo, Elisa Insua, Daniel van der Noon, Miguel Caravaca, Raise, Joaquin Salim, Nadia Hernandez, Gabriela Garcia, Luís Gómez, Malu Valerio, Eliseo Solís Mora, Enay Ferrer, Paul Amundarain, Douglas Bermudez, Manuel Eduardo González, find the common places of globalization in excesses and waste, censorship, identity, originality and appropriation in a colorful sunset that recalls with vestiges of pop culture, a mass society as anxious for the future as anchored to the present. "Farther than ever from utopia, we continue the walk of the present wandering, while we omit or turn our gaze (and thought) slightly to our surroundings and our time; and it is there that (re) the complexity and contradiction of existence appears as a paradox without speeches or prayers: because millions of years of evolution and history lodge in our genes, and that nobody can omit it, "says Vásquez-Ortega.
The exhibition "Light Omission" can be visited on Saturday, November 17, 2018, in the spaces of the Cerquone Projects gallery, located on San Felipe de la Castellana Avenue.
