Concha García's 'Memoria infiel' at Sala Robayera Explores Unfaithful Memory
Concha García presents 'Memoria infiel' at Sala Robayera in Miengo, Cantabria, from August 8 to September 13, 2026. The exhibition revisits her 1992 show at Galería Siboney in Santander, where she stated: 'Memory is not the objective record of past events. It is essentially unfaithful and subjective.' The show features two series: 'Vasijas del silencio,' using molds from a Portillo pottery workshop, and 'El resto de los días,' with objects from her family legacy. García works with ceramics, porcelain, textiles, and a canoe woven with gold thread and silver rods. The exhibition includes works previously shown at the Spanish Pavilion in the Malta Biennial. Fernando Zamanillo contributes texts. The artist reflects on the green landscapes of her childhood, calling green 'a small wound' that she confronts. Laura Cobo notes the works' fragmentary, evanescent quality.
