Space is something were remarkably familiar with after all were always in one. But there is an astonishable amount were not aware of, things, details, colors, textures we ignore because they seem irrelevant, but the truth is that no space or environment would be what it is without dose minuscule details, each one does its job some are more interesting than others which is normal. Like the famous architect, Tadao Ando said once “Space only comes alive in correspondence with the human presence that perceives it”. This exhibition intends to represent and create those physical, emotional, and theoretical spaces that have created a distinguishing feeling or experience; every piece has been thought-out to represent a word, an individual, a feeling, a memory or all of them together towards space or a piece that is found in it.

​

The creation of this exhibition goes back for two years. What you will be able to see today is the representation of growth and improvement which was never considered impossible. The beginning of this process was challenging, the decisions that based the exhibition as a whole needed to be taken in the first months two years ago, when to be sincere nothing was clear about life. Because of that abstraction, the theme of space was ideal. But space was not something small enough for the time that the work would be developed in, that’s when interior design fit the glove perfectly. These two words became everything for the pieces you will be able to see, these two words became the inspiration and the argument for the gift box, mood board, spiderweb, and everything else. These two words also gave meaning to what will come next after this exhibition you are a part of now, design became the clear path of everything and make everything a lot easier.

Interior design became the common threat for all of these 7 art pieces, space, color, texture, atmosphere, appropriation, objects became concepts that are key for the understanding of every nonsense piece executed. The common thread was the path were any topic could be fixed in no matter how abstract, weird or uncomfortable it seems at first, without it each piece could be completely unlinked, and the real meaning could be anything. Different artists, architects, and interior designers were influences in these pieces, but there are four that are extremely important, the first one is Eva Hesse because of the power and meaning each of her pieces had no matter how they were presented or what she used, the second one is Wolf Vostell because of his use of common day object to create abstract and beautiful art pieces and his use of color in these, the third one is Vasili Kandinsky because of his use of geometrical shapes and solid use of colors to create masterpieces, lastly Benjamin Vandiver because of his urbane, elegant approach to design that lies in his artful orchestration of scale and texture.
