GALERIA PRESENÇA

These series of drawings are the result of a process of organization of the artist’s personal archive during the period of social confinement, imposed in March 2020, they’re made from the written texts of press releases and exhibition sheets collected between 2000 and 2020. Made with stamp on paper, each drawing starts from the appropriation of excerpts from the texts of the room sheets (written by the artists or curators of the exhibition that accompanied them) where the alleged sensory or conceptual “effects” caused by the works on display on their viewers are described.
