Exhibition: Noemí Iglesias & Celia Viada
2020 LABjoven_Los Bragales Award
Set up to provide support to young artists born or based in Asturias, the LABjoven_Los Bragales programme responds to an initiative by Jaime Sordo, the businessman and collector from Cantabria behind the Los Bragales Collection. Over ten artists from the region have already benefitted from a production residency which led to the creation of ambitious projects later shown at LABoral Centro de Arte.

Horos kyklos = límite de la rueda, 2020
Horos kyklos = límite de la rueda is an audiovisual installation including a video, photographs and text, which is rooted in reflections opened up by the artist Hito Steyerl in her article “In Free Fall: A Thought Experiment on Vertical Perspective” (2011). Steyerl connects the evolution of the prevailing representation of perspective with several historical moments, arguing that we are living in a context of free fall.
The installation endeavours to question the meaning of ‘horizon’ as a notion entirely linked to a capitalist, colonial, patriarchal, racist and violent system.
