¿HABITAR EL CUERPO ?
In one of our first conversations, Juliana Sorondo remarked that the works gathered in this exhibition—despite their formal and material diversity—seemed to conjure a shared idea: the body as a habitable space, formally delimited, a repository of individual memory, and ultimately something that can be loved, hated, or transformed by us, its legitimate inhabitants. Indeed, many of the reflections offered by the four artists in this show about their own practice align, to greater or lesser degrees, with this perspective. However, convinced that my role here should be neither neutral nor passive, I will take the liberty of questioning both the idea and the preliminary title of this exhibition—To Inhabit the Body—of adding a mark of doubt to its phrasing and turning the certainty of its statement into a question. I will thus abandon the usual caution of a wall text in favor of a far more meddlesome stance. To inhabit the body? To what extent is the notion of dwelling an adequate approach today, a misleading figure, or an inevitable experience of corporeality?

ABout the gallery
We are a project space for young artists, fostering a vibrant and inclusive community where diverse voices thrive. By amplifying their perspectives and showcasing their work, we aim to challenge stereotypes, celebrate diversity, and promote empathy. Our represented artists explore themes of identity, belonging, displacement and cultural exchange, offering fresh insights into the complexities of otherness, a concept central to our mission.
We collaborate passionately with artists who defy traditional boundaries, working across disciplines such as ceramics, textiles, video art, installation, painting, and sculpture. Our space on Trafalgar Street in Barcelona serves as a hub where pluralism and respect for materials enable our artists to experiment with new formats and techniques.
Our exhibition programme reflects our commitment to an open and inclusive art ecosystem, creating a dynamic dialogue between materials and identity. Each exhibition invites visitors to engage with the artworks, fostering reflection and deeper connections. By highlighting diverse approaches, we seek to challenge conventional ideas of art and broaden the understanding of identity in today’s world. We invite everyone to visit our exhibitions and participate in this ongoing dialogue, where each piece is an invitation to discover new ways of seeing and understanding the world around us.
