Five Spanish Emerging Artists Explore Catalan Rural Landscape at Rome's AlbumArte
The exhibition titled 'La forma solida del paesaggio' (The Solid Form of Landscape) showcases the work of five up-and-coming Spanish artists at AlbumArte in Rome, running until November 9, 2024. Curated by Benedetta Casini (born in Bologna, 1991) as part of the SAC-Sant Andreu Contemporani's International Curatorial Residency Program, it features artists such as Judit Bou (born in Vic, Barcelona, 1996), Marta R Chust (born in Barcelona, 1995), Roc Domingo Puig (born in Lleida, 1992), Albert Gironès (born in Valls, 1995), and Laura Palau (born in Benlloc, 1993). The exhibition delves into the Catalan rural landscape through photography, video art, and sculpture, emphasizing 'minor' locations in Catalonia, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, and portraying the landscape as a dynamic entity rather than just a picturesque scene.
