De oro en su núcleo

Pradiauto is pleased to present the group exhibition De Oro en Núcleo. Taking the city of London and the Royal College of Art as the starting point for diverse ties between Esther Merinero, Lina Lapelyte, Alejandro Villa Durán and Frederik Nystrup-Larsen, the exhibition operates as a zone of convergence of ideas and artistic intuitions. An encounter that had already begun in time and that now materialises in space.

Liquidity and fluidity are ideas present in the works from their materiality, but also from their multiple and possible connotations. The exhibition thinks of the fluid as a potential synonym for the magical, the encounter, the capacity for adaptation and empathy.

Text, materialised in different formats, is present in the work of the four artists. Without paying attention to categories or genres, these texts invite to fiction, propose the choral or think from the poetic. In their anomalous structure, together, these texts generate a foreign rhythm and circulate like spells.
