LOOP 2016. New collaboration!

  • ChemaAlvargonzalez_1colección olorVISUAL is once again taking part in the LOOP festival of video art, this year with an installation of work by Chema Alvargonzález (Jerez de la Frontera, 1960-Berlin, 2009). Calidoscopio Alma Flotante, from 2004, can be seen in the lobby of the Espai Volart at the Fundació Vila Casas from 26 May to 5 June.

    Alvargonzález’s works are of a notably conceptual nature, and mostly in the  form of photographs, sculpture and installations, such as his highly acclaimed interventions in buildings, using neon lights and light boxes.

    OLFACTORY NOTE: MARINE (sea algae, fish …) Although it is a memory, it has echoes of standing water, it struck me as fresher, more exultant and declaratory…. it is round, its aqueous note conveys a certain evocation of moisture, this salty, marine tang.
