Poster\u00a02010, Eug\u00e8nia Balcells <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, as in the 70s when she began her artistic career, light is still the indisputable center of interest of Eug\u00e8nia Balcells. In Freq\u00fc\u00e8ncies, the exhibition presented in Arts Santa M\u00f2nica at the end of 2009 and about to start its tour, light is presented to us as an essential form of energy that not only shapes the universe but is also the tool that enables us to perceive and represent it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The installation Freq\u00fc\u00e8ncies -which has given the name to the whole exhibition- has been generated from laboratory images. The signs that identify each element in the periodic table are the result of scientific research that seeks to become familiar with the nature of matter. In the hands of Eug\u00e8nia Balcells, however, this information is transformed into raw material which she uses to build up a metaphor on the constant recreation of the visible universe. Her interest in grasping and transmitting energy which generates and transforms life can be perceived in the interwoven strands of colour white light breaks down into.
When contemplating Freq\u00fc\u00e8ncies<\/em>, viewers are alternatively confronted by the force which has created light and what their memory retains about their life. In overheard conversations of visitors, names like Giotto, Titian, Vel\u00e1zquez and Rothko intermingle with the concepts of the periodic table, emission spectrums, wavelength\u2026 Their comments suggest that we see what we know, even when what we are looking at is light, the very source of our ability to see.
An exquisite sensitivity and a limitless curiosity for scientific and technological progress is modelled in this exhibition by Eug\u00e8nia Balcells, who began her academic life studying architecture and today repeats with satisfaction: \u201cThere is enough randomness in my work for even me to be a spectator.\u201d The poster the artist has created for the Temporada Alta Festival is the natural offspring of the research process Eug\u00e8nia Balcells is still immersed in. How the graphic proposal took shape, what relationship she has with her work and the intersection between her multimedia installations and her collaboration in the theatre are the subject of a discussion that will be held on 22nd October in the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
