El Center d'Art Ca Lambert From last February 23rd until April 13th, Xàbia hosts the exhibition 'What the blue sky knows' by the artist Susana García Ungo. Additionally, this Saturday, March 30, at 19:00 p.m., the artist will give a free guided tour of the exhibition for all those who want to attend. To register, simply show up on time at Ca Lambert (Major Street).
The title of the exhibition refers to the poetic nature of the works, as well as the theme linked to landscape and nature, especially on the first floor where we will find photographs printed on fabric and paper and then embroidered. Most of them are newly created works, which share space with photographs.
printed on tiles and with the series 'Afterwards I dreamed that I dreamed', small collages on paper.
In the basement, the embossing, the papers and fabrics with holes, burned and then embroidered, as well as the collages speak to us about interior landscapes. Pieces like 'That you are in the light', a drawing burned on fabric with a soldering iron, evoke absences, in this case of fabric, that end up forming a new presence, a new drawing, a memory
infinite.
On the first floor we find work that reflects on more social landscapes, landscapes of sorority, a vindication of unjustly forgotten memories. This is the case of 'Women artists in the light', a piece of fabric on which, with a welder, the author has been writing through the burning, names of women artists who do not appear in the history of art. Another piece burned and embroidered on fabric: 'Witches in the Light', invites us to reflect on this concept, to redefine it. It is a small act of reparation for so much barbarity against women.
All the works have in common the slow nature of their creation, thus claiming resistance to compulsion, the immediacy and speed that this society demands of us.
In the text that accompanies the catalogue, Guillermo Cano points out, "I would like to point out that the entire exhibition threads slow time and meaningful life through a poetry that is inhaled through collages, photographs, linocuts and embossings and that is exhaled in the Most of the images we see are inspired by nature. This is the air that is breathed in this sample. And it is not the only thing that the blue sky knows, it knows more things, but one thing it does know is that when we are slow time, we are nature.
