“Monument to nothing” is a selection of the work I did during the first lockdown imposed by COVID-19. It is a series of works on paper in which a character with a prominent nose, a cap and sports shoes appears, who seems to be in a state of isolation. I wanted to present a subject in the form of an impenetrable cartoon, of whom we would not know if it is someone lacking criteria or on the contrary a deep and complex character, an attempt to parody the contemporary subject adrift.

Àlex MonnerNADA NUEVO BAJO EL SOL
ÀLEX MONNER
Barcelona, 1995
@alecs995
He considers the camera as a natural prolongation of his personal artistic need. For him, photography is a hobby that mixes up enjoyable type of experiences: the instant relation with the things you decide to focus with , the braveness of being able to manipulate that reality in order to create a new image that wasn’t there before and the inner pleasure of making compositions, are three of those multiple things that made him a picture explorer.
This is a visual travelling diary, a wasting time method, a way to show how I compose with shapes and colors while I walk thinking in general aspects of life or just feeling elevated through nothingness. Being romantic and naughty, clever and silly, sometimes capturing the soul of things, sometimes leaving my own soul in what I guess I saw. That’s this object, personal visual decisions gathered on folded paper.

Nowadays He combines personal projects with assignments related with architecture and design.
‘A Trilogy of Unsual Architectures’ is a photobook with three minibooks inside that resumes three Arnau Rovira’s projects based in Architecture. He reflects with images how architecture can be a neoliberal tool to force humans into submission. If every building has a funcionality and purpose, Rovira’s three architectures go through a cloud of false happiness in which reason is suspended.

Álex MarcoFollowing the right trace it’s always a difficult decision
Álex Marco
Valencia, 1986
@alexmarco.dmg
Álex Marco (Valencia, 1986) is a visual artist focused on painting and video as his main communication media. Actually works at his studio in Valencia where his work emphasizes the visual idea of the city: traces, stains, and dirt represents how human actions provokes an excuse to promote pictorial language as a means of representation.
Taking the city and its infinite living options as my reference, my work presents a visual analysis of the image, the interferences, the effects and signs which construct the urban context; all of this via practical and experimental research in paint and video formats. We have daily contact with paint, as a result of the actions we produce in our dialogue with the city: brands, marks, gestures, scratches, imperfections, stains and residues, portray the characteristics of our identity as inhabitants. Accordingly, my approach brings together different aspects of our ability to review, create, communicate and transform any daily activity into a resource for the content or subject matter of paintings, videos and installations. I am especially interested in how canvas and camera explore manipulative possibilities and the consequences which are derived from the mechanisms of our perception. The main feature of my research is the experience of this relationship: conscience and the point of contact between processes – all at once immediate and distant, real and fictitious - , between thought and vision. My starting point is an open structure which reflects the nature of that which is born in the studio, enhancing what is left behind for the spectator to complete. Likewise, I understand that the image establishes a visual statement irrespective of time and space to produce something new, consequently the possibilities in the scope of work expand greatly.

He attended Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona (2009), and later he finished the Master of Artistic Creation at the same University with the highest honors (2010). A new phase began in Limoges, where he worked, research studied and developed around the porcelain. During the year 2013, this research makes him travel to Jingdezhen, China, where surrounded by ceramics and craftsmen he worked on the application of ceramics and porcelain in the Chinese urban landscapes. He is currently working to apply all this knowledge in the architecture and urban planning that surrounds him.
The Shadow Series is the materialization of Jun’ichirō Tanizaki's thought from his book ‘In Praise of Shadows’. As it is described in the book, in the West light has always represented beauty, but in traditional Japanese aesthetics it is the shadow that keeps an enigma as attractive and powerful as the light of the West.
