Notes related to Albarrán Bourdais

By Álvaro de Benito

Una lucha de paisajes (A Struggle of Landscapes) is Iván Argote’s (Bogotá, Colombia, 1983) second exhibition at Albarrán Bourdais, a presentation that introduces a new series of works revolving around a video recording of actions through which the artist explores the idea of repair as a political act. Within this dialogue, the exhibition examines space and identity, delving into the characteristics and inherent qualities of public space and the ways in which our relationship with everyday symbols is constructed.

Bernal Espacio presents, in collaboration with the Albarrán Bourdais gallery, Drawings from the Year 2020, a solo exhibition that encompasses an interesting body of work, bounded in time, by José Antonio Suárez Londoño (Medellín, Colombia, 1955), one of the great figures of contemporary drawing. The series on display represents a visual record of the pre-pandemic and pandemic era, serving as a testimony to the uncertainty and isolation that surrounded and shaped the complexity of that period.

The Albarrán Bourdais gallery presents Ensayo de permanencia (Essay on Permanence) at Menorca, a solo exhibition by José Dávila (Guadalajara, Mexico, 1974), which also marks the Mexican artist's first collaboration with the gallery. For the occasion, the artist has conceived most of the exhibition with newly created sculptures and paintings, some of which were made using local materials from the island.
