HERENCIA. PROYECTO 360º AND THE RECONSIDERATION OF OUR ACTIONS
The Seville-based Fundación Valentín de Madariaga y Oya raises in its collective exhibition Herencia. Proyecto 360º the need to reconsider actions and return to the essential and almost primary link through the observation and analysis of our environment and its possibilities. The show gathers the work of fifteen international artists who become instrumental through their works for this purpose.
Although the concept could be framed in that double meaning of the word herencia (inheritance) through its becoming, the project maintains a vocation of sustainable character, or all that the meaning of that word may imply, especially focused on that critical analysis of the stability of social values and their impact and even, in a more physical point, the use of organic materials.
This section would mainly include the approaches proposed by Dutchman Pim Palsgraaf and Juan Gopar with their constructions made of discarded material and rescued for recycling with an ulterior aesthetic purpose. At the crossroads, the contributions of Día Muñoz (Guayaquil, Ecuador, 1989) —Organismos. Criaturas modificadas (2023) and Organismos. Simbiontes (2023)—, consolidating technological or pre-technological creatures with which he intercedes between the artificial and the natural, between science and the organic.
Dagoberto Rodriguez (Caibarien, Cuba, 1969) is another big name on the list of this exhibition. With his two works, Amphoras (2020) and Solar (2023), the Cuban lands his ironic conceptual and visual humour and provides the necessary vision and approach from the side of acid criticism. In that same reading, Carlos Aires' cynicism-laden porcelains contextualize a violence that is framed thanks to the support.
The pictorial work of César Barrio and Andrei Roiter, the devotion for the material of Bárbara Pérez and the support of Manuel Quintana, as well as the conceptual approaches of María Carrión, Macarena Gross, Antonio Murado, Isabel Valdecasas and Cachito Vallés complete this project that leads to a rereading of the most basic elements of our production and coexistence.

CABIESES’ INTERCEPTED IMAGE
The geometry in Jorge Cabieses' (Lima, Peru, 1971) usual outline is broken with the action of the spontaneity of the curved and almost organic stroke in his second solo exhibition in the Spanish capital.
