Exhibition open:

More info about the Exhibition:

Gaia, the primordial earth goddess was born out of chaos; and in a 360 degree twist, to chaos she seems to be descending anew of late. The tales in this exhibition take that environmental state of flux as their starting point in order to weave stories about challenges and despair but also of hope and underlying beauty.
The works on display also mirror the experience of their makers: four artists who left their native Spain to settle in London in order to develop their practice at different stages of their careers and at different times in the relationship of the capital with Europe. Two common threads stand out among the works, however. They were all prompted by an urgent call to attention to the plight of the environment: be it our oceans, rivers, forests or cities; but above all, they signal our complicity in the current estate of affairs.

This exhibition is part of Spain NOW! 2022

'The Things We Leave Behind' by Susana Sanromán (Creative Hub: Level 3, Room E)
Multimedia Installation and Performance

'The Things We Leave Behind' performance at Hospital Club London, part of Spain Now festival and ARTCOP21

The artist presents an Installation made from 100% recycled bottles from Singapore; a space for reflection on the human footprint on our environment. Fair attendees will be able to create new pieces together with the artist during a series of activities focused on the public.

In addition, Sanromán will present her Live Sculpture/Performance The Things We Leave Behind, an environmental performance focusing on the impact of consumerist societies on the natural environment.

During the performance, the artist will mummify a model with nets and other residues from the fishing industry, all of them obtained from a beach clean-up. The mummy represents the idea of the human figure, and metaphorically the global society in which we live. In this visual game, Sanromán wants to show that everything we throw away will end up surrounding us.

Sanromán's taking part at WABGNET Exhibition: ‘Creation in Isolation – Navigating Absurdity in Times of Limitation’, part of Estonian Art Week

21/7/2021

Susana Sanromán presents her work 'En Tránsito. Geometrías en Suspensión' via augmented reality.

The WABGNET International Women Artists Exhibition mixes physical art exhibition adding elements of a virtual reality exhibition at the gallery space via augmented reality.

Creation in Isolation – Navigating Absurdity in Times of Limitation, as the title suggests, brings together works of art created during lockdown. The pieces, made by eleven women artists, conjure the sense and sentiment of absurdity we all surely experienced at some point during the long ‘stay at home’ months. Love, togetherness, separation, pain, resilience, loneliness, escapism, preoccupation, hoarding, cynicism, death, and hope are some of the themes explored.
Covid19, however, is not the first pandemic humanity has endured. So far, we have survived the Black Death, Cholera, AIDS, Malaria, and the Spanish Flu, among others. Besides, animals and plants also

suffer from devastating pandemics that are mainly caused by human action, such as intensive farming and the destruction of eco-systems. The death tolls experienced by such creatures are far worse than the ones humans do. It may sound absurd, but if human suffering is compared with non-human suffering, humans really ought to consider themselves lucky.

It is in this spirit, acknowledging how fortunate we are and embracing the positive possibilities that the new normal has brought about, that this exhibition has been curated: the restrictions imposed by Covid19 have not been perceived as limitations, but as an invitation to the exploration of new forms of remote collaborations that allow us to make, offer, and share art both locally and globally.

ARTISTS: Marie-Louise Jones, Vanja Karas, Eleanor Pearce, Susana Sanroman, The Lake Twins, Iluá Hauck da Silva, Rigulio Graak, Meriliis Rinne, Mia-Jane Harris, Alina Gavrielatos.

CURATED BY: Rigulio Graak, Iluá Hauck da Silva, Art Week Estonia / Andra Orn.

ART WEEK ESTONIA

Susana Sanroman presents ‘This is rubbish’ at Parnu Art Week

21/7/2021

Sanromán will perform during the 2021 Estonian Aart Week. The performance reflects on two highly topical issues: the Covid 19 pandemic and the effect of pollution on the environment.

The performance reflects on two highly topical issues that have put our daily future in check: the Covid 19 pandemic and the effect of pollution on the environment. Both in different ways force us to rethink our role in the global society to which we belong. The reality we live in has become alien, strange, and even incongruous. The daily images that we see of health personnel covered from top to bottom, and the streets with their passersby wearing masks, seem to come out of a futuristic and apocalyptic movie, which has become our reality. The performance embodys this new reality, sequences suddenly happen one after another. While walking around the city and visiting the events of art week, artist uses the surprise effect to dislodge the viewers, seeking to distance them from the obvious and force them to reflect on what is happening. The piece has a surreal character and can, at times, border on the absurd. The conclusion, if any, I leave it to the free interpretation of the audience.

Festival Theme: Thread of Life - The Absurdity of Time

The event’s title refers to well-known Estonian surrealist Ilmar Malin’s exhibition ‘Thread of Life’, curated by his son Jaan Malin, a.k.a. Luulur (1960). Jaan Malin is an Estonian poet, artist, curator, writer, editor and publisher who focuses on surrealist creativity and is serving as the curator of performing arts at Art Week Pärnu in 2021.

Susana Sanroman's 'F**K Politics' at Venice Biennale

10/5/2019

Back<<

Courtesy of Venice Art Factory

This artwork is part of the 'Miniscule' show, the smallest exhibition at the Biennale, show curated by Vanya Balogh

Exhibition details
Miniscule Venice is taking place in Venice as part of the satellite programme of the 58th International Art Exhibition the Venice Biennale. The show could be regarded as a bijou sociological experiment; over 100 artists have taken up the invitation to submit a diminutive art object of any genre or media but with one simple proviso: the maximum size of the work is that of the common matchbox; 2” by 1.5”.
Thinking small and making small is a unique position and while some artists specialise in the miniature or reductive ideas and might consider it a regular part of their creative output, many more do not. For most of the artists participating in Miniscule, the format is an intriguing challenge; a stimulus or provocation; potentially a playful distraction from their standard artistic practice.
This diverse exhibition presents carefully considered, imaginative but seriously tiny, fragile art objects – an exquisite mass of breeding minisculism. As curator Vanya Balogh describes “Here we will find a toy-box destruction derby of high-concept in abject competition, a kaleidoscope cross-cut of current making and thinking but one set in an equal arena, although admittedly it may be biased towards the ‘less is more’ camp. Is an object to be judged by its size? Does size really matter? Can we say that the London Eye has more impact on the art world than a bicycle wheel?”

10 May to 21 July 2019
