The Ses Dotze Naus Foundation’s educational program for teenagers that brings them closer to art.
The program, entitled What is not seenproposes to immerse ourselves in the exhibition 6 from the point of view of artistic education, with the aim of thinking about the island of Ibiza from the diversity of elements that make it up and create a set of plastic stories that transcend the individual imaginary and make possible the creation of a collective story; that of the group-classroom. The activities revolve around the most hidden Ibizaand from this line of force emanate two actions inspired by the artistic practice of Andrés Izquierdo and Cristina Stolhe on the island. An artistic workshop and a dialogued visit to the exhibition, in which the journey and the the journey and the passing of time will be taken as guiding threads..
The students will compare and confront their artistic proposals with those of the exhibition, involving themselves in a creative process guided by the motivations that these artists had in Ibiza.
The exhibition 6
In this joint exhibition, artists Andrés Izquierdo and Cristina Stolhe delve into the deepest layers of life on the island, addressing themes such as absence, history and night, to propose a dialogue with the past that leaves an echo towards the future. For different personal reasons, what the island has given to both of them converges, communicates and, at times, seems to be the same. Places like the Necropolis of Puig des Molins, various caves of the island or the cemetery of Formentera are part of the coordinates of a project that looks towards the secret and what is not seen with the naked eye.
- The exhibition will be open to the open to the public at La Carpintería until November 16 and can be visited by appointment.. Las personas interesadas pueden reservar su visita en [email protected].
About the artists Andrés Izquierdo and Cristina Stolhe
Andrés Izquierdo (Madrid, 1993) and Cristina Stolhe (Pontevedra, 1993) are part of a generation of artists that is revitalizing Spanish contemporary art. Their practices, despite being formally different, share and express the concerns of their generation, expressing them in works that in turn resonate with a wider public.
Their fields of experience are located in Stolhe in the image -the two dimensions- and in the case of Izquierdo in the object -three dimensions-, and both faced the challenge of building a collaborative artistic project in which their research has converged in a joint body of work that blurs and questions the limits between image, object and space.
