Damián Ortega: Expanded view

The exhibition Damián Ortega: Expanded View brings together for the first time the suspended works of the Mexican artist. Nine sculptures that leave their pedestal behind and float in the exhibition space.
Each of the sculptures encapsulates different visions of the world shaped by technology geology, architecture and literature.

The work of Damián Ortega (México, 1967) is influenced by his beginnings as a political cartoonist, his self-education and his close exchanges with other Mexican artists of his generation.

Ortega sees public spaces as political spaces and sculpture as a mental space, an action or an event that may have deep repercussions in our daily life. His critical and humorous approach leads him to question the way we see, inhabit and relate to objects, spaces and organisms that surround us.
