VAT. Guillem de Castro, 118
The Barcelona artist Lola Lasurt he understands the system as a person whose heart beats, pum pum, rhythmic, but changing, with a painting by Sonia Delaunay or Piet Mondrian. The growth of the democratic creature means change and, frequently, a generalized institutionalization, also of popular festivals that were born from below, like the Valencian faults. The consequence is the neutralization of the primordial critical will. The two concepts, "Democracy" and "Failures", they are combined in the indulged doll of the artist faller José Azpeitia called Democracy that represents a sleeping woman (¿dead?) realistic carving, and that Lasurt has brought to the IVAM from the Fallers Artisan Guild Museum in Valencia to make us reflect on the links between the Art institution and popular projects. The sleeping woman is surrounded by amateur videos of the party made between the 1950s and 1970s projected onto zinc plates in rhythmic form. History told in another way. Upstairs you will find a large frieze that recreates with paint a pyrotechnic display of 2017 which recovered ancient features such as Pals Castle and the Roman flares. light, foc, kites and gunpowder choreographed in the old fashion become rhythmic abstraction in Lola Lasurt's piece.
