EXPO ‘CON-DECORADOS’ – Galería Klimt02, Barcelona (ES) – 27 Fevr.-22 Mars 2013
El miércoles 27 de Febrero a partir de las 19:30h. se presenta en la Galería Klimt02 de Barcelona la exposición « CON-DECORADOS ». Comisariado por Heidi Schechinger y Xavier Monclús. Con la colaboración de La Mirada Expandida.
CON–DECORADOS was born with the intention of reinventing an icon as globally widespread as decorations, those medals that are given as a reward, that proclaim to the world that the wearer has reached great honour and recognition.
It also comes from a comment made aloud: « Everyone deserves a medal » and from picking up that comment and trying to go deeply into it. Why does that object of recognition have to be only for great warlike and human feats? Why must I be rewarded by someone else? Why can I not do it myself? Why can I not reward myself for the books I have read, for the hugs I have given, for the music I have listened to, for the untiring efforts to overcome my shyness, for laughing, for thinking, for feeling…?
All the artists who have participated in this exhibition have proven that we can make up countless medals, as many as reasons we may have to decorate ourselves, and erase the line that separates the good from the bad, the worthy from the useless, since the soul works with subtlety between light and shadow.
