Given that contemporaneity has turned art into a form of mediation express ing the abstraction of interpersonal relationships, the division of labour and dematerialization, we might have to recreate old practices that seek to re-po eticize the world. It is a simple starting point for an exhibition that expresses itself through minimal gestures that pursue a reconfiguration of the gaze and the sensi tive experience of everything around us. Life as a biographem is turned into a micro-political force capable of producing transformations that enable other forms to exist in the world. The poetic turn pursued in this project aims to place the artist once again at the centre of contemporary mediations. What are the survival chances of small, even anachronistic formats that stray away from global agendas? The works in this exhibition are modestly and radically quiet. They show the artist with a pencil in his hand, behind the camera, speaking up or using an available medium to play the role of the beholder, the reporter, the flâneur.or the one who is able to create a poetic action that defines a new existence. A poetics of the everyday. The work as an epiphany that asserts its capacity to capture what is simple-extraordinary, while underscoring its impossibility. Art as what is possible and useless at the same time, as the ultimate utopian threshold as well as its failure.
