Marco Maggi
Galeria Cayon, Madrid
Vuelva Usted Manana. The exhibition includes two wall works that refer directly to the title of the show. In both gallery spaces a drawing on the wall will be built and unbuilt during the first week.
Galería Cayón is pleased to present Marco Maggi’s second solo exhibition at the Gallery in both spaces.
Marco Maggi investigates the connection between information and knowledge. His interventions on objects and surfaces are attempts to arouse our curiosity and draw our attention to 'meaningless' things. In a high speed global world Marco Maggi’s work asks us to slow down and get closer.
Vuelva Usted Mañana* includes two wall works that refer directly to the title of the show. In both gallery spaces a drawing on the wall will be built and unbuilt during the first week of exhibition. Each day the more studious viewer will be able to discover new pieces of an alphabet made of stickers. The addition and substraction of elements will change the drawing in a macro-micro-marco way.
Marco Maggi (Uruguay, 1957) lives and works in New York and Montevideo. In 2013, he won the Figari Award and this year will represent Uruguay at the Venice Biennial. His work is included in important museum collections such as Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Art Institute of Chicago; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Daros Foundation, Zurich. His work is included in the current exhibition “Embracing Modernism: Ten Years of Drawings Acquisitions” at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York.
