Artist Statement:
With his objects and
installations, Alex Valle has
embarked on a process of
continuous interaction between
science, art and spirituality
infused with a cocktail of
belief, desire, illusion and
anxiety.
The child-like element
embodied by the humble marble
in his ‘bolas de gude’ works
on two levels: scientific
analysis in the more obvious
symbolisation of living things
as represented by cells and
embryos and, at a more sublime
level of consciousness, the
impressions gained from life
and deeper sensorial
perception.
As hybrid products of memory
and contemporary experience,
these “glocal” marbles can be
seen as the expression of both
global and local experiences.
The objects with which the
marbles interrelate are all
things with a specific past
and a particular energetic
value destined in time to
perish. In their new role,
they acquire new life as a
context for the marbles while,
at the same time, the
macroscopic representations of
cells and embryos conveyed by
the marbles become –
inseparably? – bound to them
in a ritualistic relationship.
The impact of the resultant
symbiosis is disconcerting and
highly effective in provoking
the subjective involvement of
the viewer.
