Exhibition in Spain
16th August 2011
Hi from hot, fly infested Spain! Still, it beats, grey rainy Liverpool, I suppose.
Just a short note to say that I have a joint exhibition starting this Sunday, August 21st at the town hall in Atzeneta del Maestrat, Spain which will run until Septmeber 17th. The venue is a huge light filled space on the top floor - absolutely beautiful - and I am really pleased to be included.
Basically, a local iron artist, Miguel Belles, will be showing a series of amazing cubist sculptures, and I have taken close-ups of his hands and bits of iron and made giant prints of them. Oh and some of his daughter's face and, in particular, violet eyes too. So my stuff goes on the walls and his on pedestals dotted around the room.
I have been working with Miguel on and off for about 18 months now, recording his work all over the region. It has been a great experience and helped me integrate into the area and shown me things I probably never would have seen. I hope this exhibition goes well - it is the official start of the fiestas in Atzeneta - most other villages kicked off last Sunday. They had their streets full of rampaging bulls then, and now it's Atzeneta's turn. Great. I suppose I will have to take some pictures? But bulls on the lose scare the sh.t out of me...
