Programme
Suplicar el Duende, Marjorie Nastro
This installation by Barcelona-based visual artist Marjorie Nastro has been created in partnership with the Théâtre de Nîmes as part of the Flamenco 2025 festival. It offers an immersive and sensory experience, inviting visitors to plunge into a universe that is both hypnotic and disturbing. This total work, combining visual arts, music and critical reflection, reinvents the codes of flamenco to question our relationship to power, emotion and authenticity. In this exhibition space, where passion, irony and commitment come together, the artist reinvents the duende as a liberating and resolutely contemporary force.
The duende, as Frederico García Lorca described it, is a force that transcends technique, a struggle between the artist and his art, a moment when life and death dance together. This force is at the heart of Suplicar el Duende, where the artist summons up and questions this elusive essence.
Roulé-Lavé, Won Jy
The exhibition looks at the various experiments that Won Jy, a visual artist from South Korea, has carried out around the modification of matter. We see the artist going up rivers to look for the source of the water and therefore of the shape of the stones he collects. We also see him appropriating the patterns on the stones to reprint them on blocks of rubble. Won Jy also works on the issue of welcoming and considering foreigners within a given territory. He explores the metaphor of pigeonophobia to talk about the way in which architecture can welcome or exclude, often at the whim of collective decisions. Won Jy's works are often tinged with a subtle humour, combining complex issues with light, poetic forms.
