Through That Which Is Seen
Palo Alto Arts Center, CA

January 20, 2018 - April 8, 2018
Curated by Andrea Antonaccio-Wagner

Much can be been said about why the practice of creating miniature worlds persists, and in particular why so many contemporary artists find this art form to be a useful tool of expression. Dioramas can turn even the most mundane of subjects into something special and worthy of attention; they direct focus and consideration on their narratives, encouraging an extended gaze.

How Much Is Too Much?

A Plus A Gallery
Venice, Italy
September 24, 2017 - January 31, 2018
 
In Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino describes the “continuous city”of Leonia, where “every morning the people wake between fresh sheets,wash with just-unwrapped cakes of soap, wear brand-new clothing, andlisten to the last-minute jingles from the most up-to-date radio.”

Destins

Museo de la Universidad de Alicante

September 9th, 2016 through September 9th, 2017

Press Release

Hemos querido abordar la temática del destino desde sus múltiples acepciones. Destino como meta, como punto de llegada de un viaje. Pero también destino como trayectoria vital, como el encadenamiento de sucesos que determinan nuestra existencia. Destino como ventura, fortuna, estrella o suerte que la providencia nos tiene guardada para cada uno de nosotros. Destino como hado, que actúa como fuerza desconocida e inexorable sobre la humanidad.

Today, classic tales are often retold through the movies and television, reaching broader audiences beyond Kindle and the traditional book medium. Off the Page looks at the influences literature continues to have on contemporary art and interconnected nature of visual, oral and written storytelling
