Deployment, the moving-into-position for action, functions as umbrella term that brings together the works in Esta puerta pide clavo, a group exhibition that furthers thoughts from Mock Up presented at Artium.
While dealing with matter and form in a physical and often sculptural way, the works in this exhibition are nevertheless genuine products of the information age and speak to a current and common way of processing, rather than interpreting, reality. Instead of functioning as signs, it's the images or objects as cluster of data to be put to use. Stacks, layers, scans, or an attention to odd back- and foreground relations are recurrent motifs throughout the exhibition. Mixed forms, made through methods that combine or reference both the analogue and the digital, explore a terrain of coincidence that becomes manifest either through artistic process or in the final visual appearance.
