Curated by David Armengol

Perplexity takes, as point of departure, the feelings facing the shortcomings of our understanding, and the subsequent thoughts that push us beyond the limits of our judgement and keep us teetering endlessly between doubt and belief.

The title of the program is in reference to the concept «small reason», used by the Spanish philosopher Javier Muguerza when trying to include situations where the strength of self-critique and of non-prescriptive arguments is required to construct a successful dialogue. We are talking, in other words, about a non-authoritarian «reason» —and, in consequence, a flexible reason, not locked into itself—, one that invites us, in this case, to follow a visual narrative built around five autonomous but complementary chapters.

The program includes the participation of Jordi Mitjà, Gabriel Pericàs, Julia Montilla, Arrieta/Vázquez and Samuel Labadie. These five artists, even though working from very different perspectives, share a similar attitude: the «perplexity» we confront when facing artistic evidence, the same that forces us to question social structures and conventions.

Jordi Mitjà
Monument. Wire Thieves

Monument. Steel Wire Snatchers is an exhibition experiment based on the combination of three very distinct research sources: Outside Art practices, rituals of popular culture and 20th century Catalan sculpture. Jordi Mitjà uses, as a point of departure, the recent demolition of the Parc de Can Sis Rals d’Argelaguer —located in the region of the Garrotxa— by Josep Pujiula, the person that has been building it up for more than thirty years, and a clear example of marginal art in Catalonia.

For Monument. Steel Wire Snatchers, the artist produces a sculptural grouping specifically designed for Espai 13. Using recycled construction materials, Mitjà builds an atelier that will serve both as workplace and exhibition. Three concrete zones of activity establish a space in continuous development: a handcrafted wall, a stage, and a separate room closed to the scrutiny of the public.
