View of the exposicion - Sustancia – SUSTANCIAS

Substance – SUBSTANCES was an exhibition conceptualized to be installed in the Church of San Martín, in Arévalo. Curated by Mexican Patrick Charpenel, this display stems from a critical reading of the traditional principles of the Baroque. Through a reflection on traditional symbolic logic and its diverse cultural consequences, the exhibition addresses the relationship between "entities" of compound nature, intricately connecting seemingly dissimilar elements. Can something be what it is not? Can there be a relationship between things of different natures? Is there any connection between the sacred and the profane? These inquiries freshly explore the sense and significance of the Baroque within the cultural production of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
