The work shows us contemporary works that start from music to look for the relationship between visual and performing arts and contemporary creation. The artists show us how music plays with current issues. An example is the work of Luis San Sebastián, who decides to make a critical reading of the present using the history of rock and conceptual art.
Other installations such as Largen & Bread, using sound pieces and videos, reflect on the parallels between the self-destructive impulses of some rock stars and the tendency towards the destruction of instruments by avant-garde musicians. The work of Félix Curto, made in all kinds of media, seems out of the verse of some song by Neil Young, the Byrds or ls Flying Burrito Brothers. Artists like Irma Marco have opted to use the new media to create and interpret. The media supports are also used as installations. The last example between music and performing arts and plastic arts is the work of Carlos Aires, who through his work "How deep is your love?" creates an allegory of visceral love, charging violence with love.
The artists that exhibit in Bailar de Arquitectura are Spanish or settled in our country for many years. The show serves to take the temperature to a generation of contemporary artists whose age ranges between 28 and 50 years and who have worked in the last two decades on topics that relate music, dance, writing and visual arts.
The title of the exhibition is inspired by a phrase pronounced by Frank Zappa in the 70s. Confounded by the way to make unfair judgments of the critic, he said he thought that "writing about music was like an architecture dance". It was a way of saying that no text was able to capture the energy and emotion generated by the experience of composing, interpreting or listening to music. The counterpoint to these words is found in Grapefruit by Yoko Ono. Pomelo is a small book of poetry that is really a musical work that is articulated by succinct linguistic instructions and suggestive micro-narrations.
Frank Zappa and Yoko Ono represent the two poles on which most of the works selected for this exhibition pivot.
The poetic manipulation of objects, conceptual art and performance are very present in the work of the selected artists. Music, although it does not appear acoustically, is inseparable from the creative process. Some compose and interpret instruments, others design choreographies for unusual architectural environments and for many, sounds, song titles, popular music imaginaries or background noise are tool tools that invite you to ask yourself:
