249 litros. Coming from the field of painting, Macia's work sometimes takes place on site, leaving the two-dimensional medium behind, and setting up a dialogue with the architecture that surrounds the viewer.


comunicato stampa

Curated by Ángel Calvo

According to José Ángel Valente, intertextuality cannot be understood if exclusively referred to the relationship between creators coming from the field of Literature. Influences have to break this series of invisible divisions and integrate fine art in poetry, music in philosophical thought, and therefore opening a communication to the viewer which shall merge in current, everyday life.

Intertextual starts from a selection of artists belonging to the same generation: representatives of the national and international artistic reality of the recent years, which find in this connection of influences the ideal work space. Over the course of a year MARCO will host five artists that will present their own site specifics: Carlos Maciá, Mauro Cerqueira, Juan López, June Crespo and Fernando García.
Carlos Maciá

Coming from the field of painting, Carlos Maciá’s work sometimes takes place on site, leaving the two-dimensional medium behind, and setting up a dialogue with the architecture that surrounds the viewer.

His 2013 intervention at Le Corbusier’s Suisse Pavilion in Paris or his latest 15 litros in Madrid were two testing grounds for a work that exceeds the limits of the feasible and represents a challenge for the artist at all levels. With the exhibition XXX litros Maciá opens this new space, establishing a knowing look with artist Angela de la Cruz’s show, which opened the former Annexed Space back in 2004. In both cases, the fact of being incapable of accessing the room comes together with the fact of establishing a single perspective that permits to embrace the entire work. Hence, the viewers are forced to explore different locations to picture the site specific in their minds. Nine years after Urbanitas exhibition, Carlos Maciá returns to MARCO to occupy a space on which he had worked at that time. Whilst immersed in a process inevitably ascribed to the field of sculpture, his work is purely pictorial.
