Square foot show

Exhibition no. 9.- Square foot show. Group exhibition, painting, and drawing. From Friday, June 9th to Thursday, August 11th, 2016.

Square foot show, is the result of an anthropological exercise, in which we invited the general public to produce a drawing or painting without any specific topic, but under a common format: one square foot.

The works shown in the exhibition, should not be understood as artistic products, but as the effects of pictorial concerns of the participants. Not all the people who made the paintings and drawings are artists, they are in fact people whose way of living is totally different: housewives, managers, accountants, chemists, chefs, anthropologists, architects, and certainly also, designers and artists.

The curatorial statement was precisely, not to separate the artworks from the amateur paintings, aiming to prevent any previous judgment. We rather separate them by thematic categorization, to encourage the viewer to generate its own opinion.

Broadly speaking, the exhibition has been divided into 13 segments. The first one, the world of objects; the second, the intimate moments or moments of introspection: the third, the mortal and corporeal; the fourth, the sinfulness and vanity; the fifth, the subtle faces; the sixth, the symbolic and naive; the seventh, skulls; the eight, the voyeur and the solitary; the ninth, animals and the countryside; the tenth, the accented faces; the eleventh, nature and abstraction; the twelfth, the fantasy and the sea; Finally, collage and human figure.

In the exhibition catalog, we present the ten most outstanding artworks, either for their pictorial characteristics, its conceptual proposal, its excellent execution or all of them. It should be noted that the exhibition consisted of 79 works by 34 participants.
