JOEY RAMONE is proud to mark the opening season with the group exhibition From Outside Or From Within But From Another Angle with work by Fito Conesa (1980 ES), Ilke Gers (1981 NZ), Josie Perry (1996 UK), Víctor Santamarina (1990 ES) and Ian Waelder (1993 US). The exhibition opens on Sunday 15 September 14.00 – 18.00hrs and runs till 9 November 2019.
The works that come together in this exhibition deal with different aspects of losing control of the body at a given moment, discussing what this entails, not seen as a moment of weakness but as a stage of almost extrasensory experimentation; losing control of the body, suspended at the intermediate stage, in that moment of impasse in which one loses all sense of it; the physical body dematerializes, loses its limits and subsequently its parts are replaced by abstract forms or complex phonemes. This deprivation of the body, either linked to natural hormonal changes, induced by external agents, or by the abuse of the organism itself alludes to its fluidity and the utopia of an incorporeal body.
