Laboratorio 987
CHUS DOMÍNGUEZ, NILO GALLEGO AND SILVIA ZAYAS
22 June 2013 - 12 January 2014
Curatorship: Leire Vergara
Coordination: Carlos Ordás
MUSAC’s Laboratorio 987 features a new project by León-based artists Chus Domínguez, Nilo Gallego and Silvia Zayas, within the Form and Meaning exhibition series. With the homonym title Laboratorio 987, this project attempts to bring an answer to its context’s own specificity through a series of performances and the presentation of a range of materials, objects and documentation that will show the artists’ work in different moments and the limits and structures as translated into the exhibition space.
The project will open on 22 June, with the three artists beginning the working process in the exhibition space. Teatro Pradillo (Madrid) will also play an instrumental role in the project by means of a dialogue between the theatre and the white cube of the museum on the forms and contexts for the presentation of live action, the economy of the artist’s time of work and the potentialities and conditions of the encounter vis-à-vis the spectator.
More than an exhibition, Laboratorio 987 operates as a presentation and production of work with and from the artist’s body. As such, it entails a rethinking of art production from the recourses directly generated through the presences of bodies and their subjectivity rather than from processes of production based on matter or on an object. In this sense, a series of live actions and the traces or prints they generate after their presentation will help to define the organisation of the space and the time of the exhibition. This project is an attempt to respond to the very specificity of MUSAC’s Laboratorio 987, namely, putting in place the logic of trial and error inherent to any form of testing and experimentation. It is therefore about making the most of the opportunity posed by this public context to rehearse new forms of articulating an exhibition.
