BANCAJA FOUNDATION. Pl. Tetouan, 23
The most retrospective of all the retrospectives that have been made of Miquel Navarro till the date. In this way the Mislata artist presented Fluids, what brings together work from the middle of the 70 until the 2018 (none of the 528 that guards the IVAM). In addition to the most recognizable facilities, as The city (1984-85) y Battle space (2000-01), that leave the walls bare and focus all our attention on the ground where the urban (cemeteries, urbanizations, polygons…) takes over the space, we will be able to see other unpublished ones like city of towers (2018) made of solid marine aluminum totems that make up a vertical city, o Marsh (2017-18), that recreates the surroundings of the Albufera when the rice has already been harvested. The cities, crossed by traffic and roads, They are one of the fundamental axes of their work, the other is the human body, liquid journey. In the last room we find the artist's most intimate work, on paper, exuding eroticism, and unpublished photography that assimilates the malleability of clay to the morbidity of the human body. The route starts from the terracotta that so fascinated the artist at the beginning of his career., and runs through the zinc, aluminum, to watercolor, the collage, the drawing, sculpture and photography that have made up forty years of artistic career.
