Group show "History: a microcosmic perspective" May 4, 2024 – December 7, 2024
"There is no need to speak. You must only concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder – “Stalker”, 1979 / screenplay: Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, dir: Andrei Tarkovsky
World history is written from broad and sweeping perspectives. The places and names, often associated with power and conflicts that span over eras, can abstract the past obscuring its personal relevance to the present. Art can fill this void when it takes on the role of humanizing these events. Definitely, in literature, we see it in the form of storytelling, and in the visual arts, it is also found when artistic output directly correlates with personal experiences of their times.
The history of an individual is as much about cultural legacy as it is about recent family heritage, and viewing Art from this perspective shines a light on our differences on both the global and the personal scale. That we are all in fact unique is what we actually all have in common, and understanding this enables us to see ourselves in the ‘other’ and develop the empathy that is necessary to build a humane and peaceful world."

"Nichos"
“Cavidad más o menos profunda hecha
en el espesor de un muro como elemento ornamental, y cuya forma más característica es la de semicilindro abovedado con la base horizontal. Sirve
para colocar en ella figuras de
objetos decorativos o imágenes religiosas”
“Concavidad en el espesor de un muro, para colocar en ella una estatua, un jarrón u otra cosa”
Aplicando estos conceptos
dentro del ámbito doméstico, nos encontramos con espacios dedicados al culto de creencias religiosas o paganas. Estos nichos localizados en la casa se han podido ver en
diferentes épocas, civilizaciones, culturas y geografías; como el “Lararium”
en la Domus romana, el “Butsudan” en
la cultura Budista en Japón, o el altar privado en la cultura Cristiana occidental… así como otros espacios dedicados a ofrendas a la muerte y otros
ritos. Sin embargo, de una manera
menos evidente, estos nichos a priori pueden pasar desapercibidos en los diferentes espacios interiores de una casa, en una ducha, en un armario, contra una pared en una estantería con objetos,
libros, imágenes, souvenirs, electrodomésticos… con elementos comunes que han adquirido una personalidad a través de
una vivencia y convivencia que nos
conectan con un recuerdo generalmente alterado por el paso del tiempo al que de alguna manera nos conforta volver. Se trata de enfatizar estos lugares como posibilitadores cotidianos para la
introspección donde reflexionar sobre diversos factores como el paso del tiempo, las rutinas adquiridas, la herencia, hechos culturales, políticos, sociales... a través de la convivencia y uso
casi contemplativo de estos objetos, mobiliarios y espacios intencionalmente ubicados en la casa.
Inherited Souvenirs
15 October - 12 November 2022
Opening Saturday the 15th of October in presence of the artist: 16.00-18.00
Painted in a style which is both hyper realistic and intentionally abstract, Spanish artist Carlos Sagrera’s works are intimate and nuanced. The main subjects in his
paintings are interiors, identity, and the mystery of everyday life. Sagrera depicts domestic spaces where time seems to have stood still. These spaces evoke associations and memories of a familiar
past, and as a spectator, one might wonder whether they existed in reality or were simply imagined by the artist himself.
For his newest exhibition with Rutger Brandt Gallery, Sagrera has chosen to focus on the concept of the ‘souvenir’. He traces the idea back to its historic roots, the abstract notions of memories and fragments in the mind. He also looks at more tangible modern etymologies referring to objects bought in order to remind oneself of a place, an occasion or a holiday.
Through his evocative paintings, the artist proposes that we can also view the items that dwell in our space, such as furniture, decorative objects, textiles or home appliances, as souvenirs. Sagrera suggests that souvenirs are not limited to physical objects, but they include behaviors and manners that we learn in a space and maintain throughout life.
Sagrera’s paintings imply that the accumulated souvenirs within our private life and domestic surroundings are deeply connected with us. The objects in our personal spaces are the key to opening our memories, traumas, and backgrounds. These objects have been shaped the scenery and context where our most sentimental experiences have occurred. The patina that appears on their surfaces over time is etched with feelings and emotions.
One of my works acquired by Poort -Visser Collection is exhibited in Kunsthal Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Collecting art can be a life-enhancing experience, especially when you surround yourself with it at
home. This is also demonstrated by the exhibition ‘Home is where the Art is’. At the Kunsthal, the
collectors Johan Poort and Manon Visser will be inviting the public to step into their home, as it
were – the place where they live amidst their joint art collection. Poort and Visser started
collecting art five years ago. Different movements, periods, and both ‘high’ and ‘low’ art all meet
and interact with each other in this diverse and intuitively shaped collection. Abstract works by
Bram Bogart and Rotterdam-based artist Ton van Os alternate with vibrant, figurative art by
people like Marlene Dumas, Yoshitomo Nara, Sungi Mlengeya, Pat Andrea, and Diederick
Kraaijeveld. In an intimate, homely setting the public will be able to discover associative,
unexpected connections between a wide variety of artworks that clearly show Poort and Visser's
love of collecting.

"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 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.
