A GEOLOGICAL REFLECTION ON QUEMAR LA TIERRA, THE EXHIBITION OF FABIANO KUEVA AND ROSELL MESEGUER
A fusion of perspectives between artists Fabiano Kueva and Rosell Meseguer in Quemar la Tierra (Burn the earth), the exhibition at +Arte Gallery. Curated by Katya Cazar.
The joint exhibition by artists Fabiano Kueva and Rosell Meseguer explores the performative arts of "keeping and catching". While Meseguer delves into the archaeological layers of minerals to tell a story of the foundations, Kueva turns to fire because of its power to leave a mark.
Both search into the political, social and cultural implications of the geological elements they explore: mining, excavations, fires and the damage they cause. "Art starts from the elaboration of stories, it starts from the real presence; art is erected on previous vestiges and ruins; art, as a permanent gesture of protest, does not forget", says Katya Cazar, curator of the exhibition.
