Indepth Arts News: "Elsewhere/Elders a Solo Show by Javier Marchán curated by Olof van de Wal" 2006-02-22 until 2006-03-12 Wall House Foundation Groningen, , NL Netherlands
During his stay in the Wall House, Marchán became fascinated with the
tension Hejduk summons up between the two and three dimensionality, a
tension referred to by Marchán as the fourth dimension. Fascinating though
the spatiality in the Wall House is, Marchán maintains that the building
in essence is a two dimensional image, a still life. This tension, the
fourth dimension, is what Marchán regards as the principal concept for his
work in Elsewhere, together with the strong sense of symbolism Hejduk
invokes in his work. Marchán has produced a set of twelve silk screens and
spatial installations throughout the Wall House#2.
Javier Marchán (Barcelona,1967) engages in interdisciplinary aspects of
contemporary art, design, architecture, theory and authorship. His
artworks are fictional, neo-abstractive and multi-layered; using a variety
of visual media to propose evolving notions of perception, significance
and consciousness. He favors a visual practice where the representative
nature of meaning ˜ bounding together what we call Œreality‚ ˜ gets
emptied out momentarily. This methodology is done in order to get a more
profound relation to art and to the perception of reality. Marchán has
been working both independently and in collaboration with many individuals
from different disciplines in order to challenge traditional formats of
artistic practice. His work is being exhibited internationally.
