of Use is an
approach to the existential meaning of architectural space. The project shows
site-specific works by the artists Patricia Esquivias, Luciana Lamothe and
Sofía Táboas, produced for different locations within the building designed by
Álvaro Siza. The origin of their proposals lies in the field of the
contemporary city and in architecture, sharing the common denominator of the
promotion of acts that address specific architectural environments. Their works
deal with that which is tectonic, with the morphology of materials and the
building elements. They address the historical and symbolic dimension and the
perceptive and cognitive one, which is ultimately the end that justifies
spatial construction and consequently architecture.
Guided tours by Susana González (exhibit curator) and/or Santiago Olmo (Director of the Centre) at noon on 27 July and 3, 10, 24, and 31 August, 22 September and 19 October. Free admission. Signing up is not required.
