3Spacio Minimo
3SPACIO M脥NIM0, is the title of the exhibition that celebrates the gallery鈥檚 30th anniversary. Planned in three one-month exhibitions for each one of these three decades of work. It evokes and recalls key moments or turning points of special relevance in the gallery鈥檚 journey throughout this period. 30 seasons in which It has programmed 174 individual exhibitions, 23 collective exhibitions and has participated in 158 art fairs.
The exhibition is conceived as a review exercise, with the perspective that time gives, of the formal and conceptual lines that have marked this career, especially through the works of artists who have passed through the gallery in these years, but also of complementary information and documentation, both in person at the exhibition and available in digital format on the networks, which enrich and complete the exhibition.
The starting point is a piece created especially for the occasion by Mart铆 Cormand, a scale model that faithfully reproduces, reducing it even more, the first space of the gallery in 1992. Those scarce fourteen square meters that justified the choice of its name -Espacio M铆nimo- from the conviction that a Gallery is not a space, it is, above all, a project. Regarding the work, the artist writes: Time travel has a long tradition in science fiction literature and in movies, such as the classic 鈥淭he Time Machine鈥 (1960). Black holes through which you travel or where everything disappears. You could say that a black hole is a natural time machine. If we get close to a black hole, they have such great gravity that even time slows down around them. The piece 鈥淓spacio M铆nimo鈥 is literally a small-scale reproduction of the space that no longer exists today. But it could be a tunnel in time through its visualization on the networks. If we take photos of the model and post them on Instagram, the piece is shown as a real space, and the Murcia gallery becomes an exhibition space of our present, 30 years later.
