Carta de exploración Cósmica by Alexander Grahovsky
Solo show. Carta de exploración Cósmica, in English, Chart of Cosmic Exploration, is the tittle of the Grahovsky exhibition at Anaglifos Art Factory curated by Anna García representing Fire Escape at Young Gallery Weekend Art Festival in Barcelona.
Grahovsky’s portraits are paintings of people who look without looking. They could spend their whole lives crouching behind their sunglasses, engrossed in the ritual of their gum as if time had stopped. Furthermore, the gum is a figure of boredom. The neurotic repetition of the eternal present. Everything is in gum. Bodies are just its extension. Because outside, whatever there is, there is nothing. A project curated by Fire Escape.

Arte precario by Miguel Andrés
Performance art action. Art brings great value to society, from beauty to ideas and discourses that are not dealt with in other areas. Nevertheless, the promotion of the arts is still in crisis and institutions are washing their hands of it. Art seems to be superfluous in this society just when we need it most.
Thus, artists are forced into double precariousness. The labour market in which they are forced to participate in order to survive and the art “market” itself, which mistreats them and uses them as ephemeral products.
Miguel Andrés.
Arte precario was a live performance by Miguel Andrés into Young Gallery Weekend at Anaglifos Art Factory, curated by Anna García.
