Between Cuttings

This exhibition features a series of works created within the framework of the Intermedia Art and Contexts specialisation of the Master's Degree in Artistic Production and Research taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona.

Common to all the works exhibited is the fact that they are part of a wider process of research and, with their differing themes and interests, are responses to the complex and hotly debated relationship between artistic production and research. The texts that accompany the works detail some of the issues addressed in the artists’ respective enquiries, which are still immersed in open processes. Each of these pieces acts as a connecting element and as a cutting of each of the research projects.

The exercise undertaken by this exhibition is the extraction of a particular fragment from a more complex fabric of meaning. The resulting ‘cuttings’ are part of another body but, on being removed from it, can and must take root, generating and creating other forms of life.
