Nicolás Lamas Exhibition at SABOT, Cluj-Napoca
At SABOT gallery in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Nicolás Lamas showcases a solo exhibition that delves into the concept of the body as a temporary construct influenced by external factors, attachments, and displacements. Lamas contends that the body is not a fixed entity but rather a dynamic field of interactions that is perpetually reconfigured, with matter remaining open to exchange. This exhibition highlights the role of skin as a site of exchange instead of a mere boundary and explores how technology and tools expand the body beyond its physical limits. Lamas asserts that identity is formed through relationships, transfers, and mixtures, emphasizing contamination as an essential aspect of material existence. The exhibition is on view at SABOT, a contemporary art venue in Cluj-Napoca.
