AMADOR
Heaven's
Temple
16
March - 22 April 2007
The
exhibition at CAC Málaga, entitled Heaven's
Temple, features one of the Majorcan artist's
most frequently-repeated themes, the human figure,
in eleven works on different supports, providing
a representative vision of his long and fascinating
artistic trajectory and his interest in experimenting
with industrial materials.
Heaven's Temple is also the first in
a series of exhibitions to be staged at Málaga's
former wholesale market as part of a project launched
by CAC Málaga and the City Council with
the aim of linking avant-garde art and religious
tradition. To this end, a different, internationally-known
artist will be invited each year to visit Málaga
and produce an exhibition on the subject of the
city's Easter celebrations.
The installation Procession features
images and scenes from Málaga's Holy Week
celebrations projected on a screen-curtain made
from fibreglass, whilst the two sculptures, Los
hilos que te rodean and Sin título
(The Threads Around You and Untitled),
both produced this year, provide examples of Amador's
effigies or bodies created from the very earth.
Heaven's Temple, which gives the show its title,
comprises several polyester resin sheets that,
attached to each other, cover the exhibition room
at CAC Málaga. This is a key work in Amador's
overall trajectory in which the artist seeks to
immerse the viewer in his universe.
