Sala B – The Emerging Art Jam is proud to present the first exhibition of Pilar+Amada entitled “Landscape Drifts”.
Through this project Pilar+Amada underlying a true manifesto about the landscape within the gallery space.
“We do not see the landscape and places as static, but they should have been discovered, scoured and observed to see them as such. In search of a creative approach to landscape is necessary to imagine a journey, set motivations that lead to reflect the environment, walk without given direction, and being influenced by the proposal of the land. Thus, it has to respond to freedom of action that calls for the thinking the landscape, in contact with what is outside to reinterpret the experience, talking about the need to exit, beyond the confines of the home and studio and beyond yet the limits imposed by the daily.
Why going outside and deal with the landscape and places as the theme for creation? Perhaps because of the secrecy of the white walls where one usually expects the art or the limits of the design of works of art in a place where experience is imagined or thought out from the inside. Perhaps it is because we need the physical contact from the outside to experience the interior from other points of departure, will be the long list of different emotions and unimaginable to us by the work with open spaces that makes us going out in search of artistic experience.
The place understood as emotional artistic experience comes from the fact that everything happens in a context, where it will always be part of the action and influence the perceived experience. There is no experience without a place.”
Pilar Soto (Jaen 1984) and Amada Martinez (Puerto Lumbreras, Murcia 1985) started working as a group in 2008 under the fundamental ideas of a union between art and society, a union that can reflect the contemporarily of the time and place, entering game of politics, economy and culture treated from a critical standpoint, allowing freedom for the viewer’s reflection and trying to create an awareness of the reality we live. Both are graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Granada and they had exhibited them work in numerous art contests and festivals in Spain.
They currently have permanent works in the collection of the Filmoteca de Andalucia (Córdoba).
