"Mirroring insights of time"
Anna Bittersoh | Carlos Sagrera
Project in collaboration with:
Exhibition in Arróniz Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico.
"Hábito"
“Habit: A way of proceeding or repetition of same or similar acts, originated by instinctive tendencies, especially ones that are hard to give up”
The interior space keeps the memory of those whom inhabit it alive, however time might transform the rooms at the will or necessity of those residents.
The domestic deterioration that comes from ordinary use leave traces on the furniture, the floors, the walls and the ceiling. The routines and habits from those who occupy the space leave evidence of living.
These patterns or traces appear in the paintings; fluid and incomplete reconstructions of a spaces which are no longer possible to access but through this recreation almost seem tactile. A frozen moment in the slow process of fading memories of places that were once so familiar.
Art Rotterdam - hub of the Art Rotterdam Week - celebrates its 20-year anniversary. For this jubilee edition, the fair has sharpened its varied model focused on young art and has put collaboration centre-stage. In a more intimate atmosphere, there is more focus on connections between national and international galleries. For four days, the Van Nelle factory forms the backdrop for the latest developments in the visual arts.

Carlos Sagrera Patterns
https://brandtgallery.com/exhibitions/carlos-sagrera/
Carlos Sagrera on Patterns: ‘In 2012 I found photos of my grandparents house from the 70’s, the images showing the empty rooms of the house they were about to move in to. After they passed away these images motivated me to start a series of paintings based on the rooms I knew so well my entire life.
I decided to take pictures of the spaces from the same angle as those of the 70’s. Comparing these images that spanned a 40-year period made me realize the multi-dimensionality that could serve me in my work. It visualizes how time passes by and leaves it’s traces by means of new arrangements; updating the furniture, changing the patterns of the wallpaper and modernizing the necessities over time. The floorboards showing traces of where furniture once had stood as well as the walls revealing where paintings and shelves used to hang or cabinets had been placed. The peeled paint and small cracks all a result of domestic life that had taken place in these rooms. Even without the presence of human life their behavioral patterns were clearly revealed.
The series paintings I based on these images made me reflect on the passing of time, finding a way to deal with the slowly fading memories of my own childhood.
Up to this day I still use these images but in my recent work I’ve also incorporated pictures of other spaces I’ve lived in or those of friends.
By working with spaces I know intimately I can not only collect the physical information but also incorporate my memories and experiences I’ve had there. The use of photos creates a certain distance between the subject matter and myself yet serve as a catalyst of memories, however selective they may be in the passing of time. This gives me the opportunity to go deeper into the image, highlighting certain elements in a detailed realism, working on the light and color temperature, talking about a vanishing testimony of the past’.

VOLTA 13. BASEL 2017
Basel’s art fair for new international positions, debuted in 2005 as a collaboration between dealers and friends. The aim was to secure a platform for international galleries beyond young art stalwart Liste and market heavyweight Art Basel. Concerns and aspirations of the exhibiting gallerists have been first and foremost since VOLTA‘s inception; in combination with the curatorial mind of Artistic Director Amanda Coulson, eclectic and dynamic presentations with a strong focus on solo presentations find a stage as refined as at the main fair.

Era tarde y la luz estaba encendida. Sabía que lo estaría, antes de doblar el recodo de escaleras desde la biblioteca; sabía a quién encontraría. Le toco en el hombro y se quita los cascos, suena invariablemente o rock progresivo o alguna pieza clásica. Se asusta, aunque me espera. ¿Cómo vas? Currando. Una noche larga, ¿eh? Otra más. Acompáñame a por un té y luego seguimos. Aparta el pincel del lienzo tan poco como la mirada de la memoria escondida detrás de unas fotos viejas.
La vigencia de este fragmento, lamentablemente, se perdió en otro lugar, otro momento; en el pasado. Es ahora un recuerdo y, como tal, tiene algo de ficticio. Recordar no es sólo traer a tu estricta contemporaneidad instantes que no le pertenecen, no consiste ni en rescatar hechos de otro tiempo ni en volver a pensarlos; es asumir que hay porciones de ellos que olvidamos sin remedio. Es saber que nos vienen filtrados por demasiadas experiencias que en el medio nos cambiaron, que son de segunda mano –aunque también la primera fuera nuestra– y están cada vez más lejos del origen. Recordar es siempre reinventar; es una manipulación a veces deliberada y otras simplemente necesaria para servirnos de lo que ya hicimos: así aprendemos, sólo así evitamos su natural tendencia a caer en la sima última, en el definitivo olvido.
En ello ahonda el proyecto pictórico que abordamos. Carlos Sagrera propone un espacio elástico, capaz de acoger una muesca más, de registrar otra huella. Lo despoja de la presencia humana, del acostumbrado relator, para ceder esa potestad al mobiliario, al aire entre paredes, logrando aun así una pintura fuertemente narrativa. Son los propios espacios quienes nos hablan –nos mienten– desde la memoria, como si la disposición de los objetos tuviera noción de su deber de contar la historia de lo ausente.
