Espais Volart, Barcelona

Round table discussion around the exhibition Posar el dit a l'ull (A poke in the eye) with Lluís Hortalà, artist, Teresa Grandas, curator of the exhibition, Teresa Blanch, art historian, art critic and curator, and Diana Padrón, researcher, art critic and curator.

Posar el dit a l’ull (A poke in the eye) is a project that presents the work by Lluís Hortalà (Olot, Girona, 1959), which challenges so-called contemporaneity with resources from the pictorial tradition, based on vision as a mechanism for approaching the world. It operates conceptually, with a certain irony, on the structures that uphold thought and power. His work plays with appearance, acceptance of deception and the replication of reality, the techniques used in art to produce and reproduce images, mirage and the limits of trompe l’œil, optical illusion and imitation, the artifice.

Date: Thursday, June 26, 6:30 p.m.
