Exposició al segle XIX
Exposició al segle XIX (Exhibition in the Nineteenth Century), the installation presented by Jonathan Millán in the Espai Cub, is conceived as an interaction of different elements in which time and the history of art become the organising principle. Different characters belonging to different worlds and temporal realities – Miró and Picasso as symbols of relatively recent history of art; Carlota, the artist’s girlfriend, as a present-day being; the grandmother, the only character whose life covers all the periods and who, as an aging nexus, links the two artists with Carlota; and, finally, ever-present death – invite the viewer to embark on a journey in which the aesthetics of 1980s video art and terror (a combination of the ghost train and Bergman films) come together to generate a story that will lead him or her to reflect upon the construction of meanings and constant change.
