FERNANDO ORTEGA
22 January - 16 February 2013
After his latests exhibitions, at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the 30th São Paulo Biennial, Fernando Ortega brings together on this occasion a series of works assembled from the observation and study of music, fragility and tension in order to combine them with air, electricity, and glass, as well as musical instruments and insects; he places the audience as main actors of these interventions. With this he seeks to create ways of establishing connections that provoke moments and personal conclusions in each spectator.
A rush of air will exalt the fragility of Vacancy, a spiderweb on a rabbit-ears antenna; while a ladder, K5-Hidden Peak, will have no other function but to bring us closer to a musical triangle—a probable emitter of a sound.
