Ricardo Basbaum's Diagramas form a memory of the body organised via visual and conceptual devices that function like a perceptive membrane between me and you. Graham Gussin uses a wide range of media, including texts, drawings, film, video, sound, photography and installation, to explore our perception of time, space and scale.

Curated by Miguel von Hafe Pérez
Graham Gussin (London, 1960) uses a wide range of media, including texts, drawings, film, video, sound, photography and installation, to explore our perception of time, space and scale. His works frequently appropriate and manipulate images and literary narratives taken from art history, popular culture and, above all, cinema.
His capacity to create pieces with a unique interpretative density is consolidated from a continuous play on references and conceptual relations, which refer to a perceptive transit, which, in turn, takes us to mental landscapes, where the feeling of unease, strangeness and melancholy can emerge in an intriguing proximity or in the most unusual remoteness.

Diagrams
28 June–6 October 2013
Curated by Miguel von Hafe Pérez
Ricardo Basbaum (São Paulo, 1961) is a cultural agent who is very active, not only in the artistic sense, but also as a professor, researcher and curator. Diagramas is his first retrospective exhibition in Spain. Since the mid nineties his work has gained increasing international visibility through exhibitions that combine objects, texts, installations and the participation of third parties in the construction of situations that question the effects, conditions and possibilities of contemporary art. His Diagramas form a memory of the body organised via visual and conceptual devices that function like a perceptive membrane between ‘me’ and ‘you’ in the construction of new sensorial and participative layers.
