UNTIL SUNDAY 15/10
GENS PUMPS. Burjassot, 54
Carlos Bunga said in the presentation of his first great retrospect in Spain that in nature does not survive the smartest, but the one that best suits the environment. And that is what he has done in modeling this Perform nature For which he has worked a lot on site In the pump space, where they nest organic and matéricas works that, As in his exhibition at the Madrid Cristalio Palace last year, They invite the public to participate in an unintentious choreography in which you look up and down successively. And goes further, invites visitors to shake the stress they bring from outside, To take off your shoes and step barefoot a large installation that covers the floor of the first room. “Children are going to play sure there!” said an expectant bunga.
The sample has been conceived as something alive and in continuous process, like nature itself, Hence the verb “pervade” In a title that also invites the public to participate and feel a living part of the matter, Not a mere passive spectator. Bunga affirms that his works are never finished. There are more faces apart from the active slope, They are poetics and conceptual: The pieces are intended to reflect the temporalities of nature and that, as a mirror, We are reflected in them as a symptom of our own mortality. And one more face, Politics: The works rezuman the rejection of the artist to the colonialist look that humans have about natural space. Bunga observes nature, Animals and insects, Your shelters and material qualities, To underline convergence between humans, objects and nature, Always delicate. The fragility is achieved with cracks like those that ajan the thirsty Earth, They look proud here as the imperfections of our own skin, old age and mortality thermometer. You will find canvasesPainted with a pring up and tail amalgam (or beewax), leaves, Cartons, newspapers, cans and meters, cracked carpets, Networks and textiles hanging from the ceiling with wet cloth effect, Capults, conical clay sculptures that simulate termites nests and collages in which deer and foxes hold the weight of human constructions. Nature, filtered by the sensitivity of Carlos Bunga, It sneaks into gens bombs. S.M.
