MARC BADIA, EDU CARRILLO & FÁTIMA DE JUAN
04.22.2023 --- 05.20.2023
Downtown Gallery
Lorin Gallery presents “Three Tenses of Contemporary '', a group exhibition with Marc Badia, Edu Carrillo, and Fátima de Juan in collaboration with L21 Gallery. On view from the 22nd of April to the 20th of May at Lorin Gallery’s downtown location, “Three Tenses of Contemporary '' presents a visual examination of the notion of being contemporary, whose meaning is in flux and constantly being reshaped by our intervention. Departing from and returning to the motifs ancient, classical but akin to our time, three participatory European artists compose with the symbols and visual languages specific to their culture, identities, and with a rhythm tuned to the singular pulse of the undefined time.
