Josep Vallribera back to Eivissa with “Lo món com a objecte art”
The old church of L'Hosptitalet, one of the two halls of the Museu d'Art Contemporani (MAC) in Eivissa will hold until the end of September the exhibition "Lo món com a objecte art" by the Catalan artist Josep Vallribera.
Vallribera --who was an important cultural promoter in Sant Antoni in the 70's-- has not exhibited in the Island for more than 20 years. “Lo món” is for this artist a “neutral concept, not masculine nor femenine”, a world “that has many departments, that has places and people, and on which history can be made". A neon letter "i", at the entrance of the church, seems to interrogate the visitor about what he will find.
In the middle of the old church, a cross is formed with photographs that represent different aspects of everyday life: a television, landscapes... a road in Barcelona... The exhibition, based on ink drawings on paper and newspapers, shows the mystery of every day life and time. Vallribera explains that the singularity of the space that holds the exhibition "suggests to me a mysticism air that I specially like".
More over, at the central space of the MAC, in the "Baluard de Sant Joan" (see the photo), the exhibition “Tejida abstracción”, by Teresa Lanceta, can also be visited until the end of September. The exhibition presents wool and cotton tapestries, stampings and oils on canvas. The exhibition illustrates the present-day importance of the geometric language in art, and links the vanguard styles with the African and Indo-European cultures.
