Lucrecia Lionti's Scribble Weavings at Sorondo Projects, Barcelona
Lucrecia Lionti will present new works at Sorondo Projects in Barcelona in April 2026. The artist, who first visited Barcelona in 2018, has shifted from word-based works to weaving scribbles—doodles of children, nature, and signatures—after running out of words. The exhibition explores the relationship between gesture and language, inspired by Oscar Masotta's letters to his mother and the story of writer Cèlia, who went blind at sixty-five. The text, written by Clàudia Flores Colominas in March 2026, reflects on memory, material intelligence, and the exile of words.
