Amparo Sard Explores Perforated Bodies in 'Carne gris' at ARTIZAR Madrid

exhibition · 2026-10-13

At ARTIZAR Madrid, Amparo Sard showcases Carne gris, an exhibition that explores themes of fragility through perforated bodies and distorted shapes, open until 7 November 2026. This event is part of APERTURA 2026 and features a curatorial text by Adonay Bermúdez. The title draws inspiration from Luis Cernuda's Las nubes, anchoring the project in the concept of loss. The perforations alter shapes and disrupt the continuity of materials, leaving some fragments exposed. The figures challenge traditional anatomical depictions, emphasizing the interplay between presence and absence. A notable work is an aluminum float composed of interconnected arms, symbolizing rescue and reflecting on bodily connections. The exhibition delves into the tension between fragility and resilience, exploring sculptural transformations.
