CARME CENTER. Museum, 2
Virtual visit.
Like everything the urban artist does Escif, this exhibition and the municipal fault that has been taken over this year, contains a political message. In the Plaza de l'Ajuntament he will plant the doll of a meditating woman - a symbol of peace and tranquility - which will contrast with the infernal noise that floods Valencia in the month of March. The drive of opposites (silence-noise, creation-destruction), that makes the world go round, is one of leitmotif of your project. Another is movement. The fault will rotate 360º on its axis each time 24 hours until cremation day. Escif wants to tell us that everything, absolutely everything, it is ephemeral and constantly moving. but good, we talked about the political content of all his production, than in the Center del Carme exhibition, What happens to insects after the war, it is specified in the number of sculptures that make it up, related to the number of children born in Gaza every day despite the misery and oppression exercised by Israel. Pure resistance against the invader. The exhibition is made up of a mechanical ballet of classic garden sculptures such as Boticelli's Venus, symbols of the hegemonic culture that has imposed its power, full of enigmatic messages. Although the premises of the sample are not at all encouraging, the final message is one of hope, because flowers are always reborn after catastrophe, A Gaza is an Aleppo. What happens to insects after the war? That they begin to rebuild little by little the destroyed ecosystem in a cycle that never ends. S.M.
