Cristina Lucas' work will be showed at the lobby of the Can Framis Museum from 10 to 22 November.
The Vila Casas Foundation presents the work La Liberté raisonnée (2009) by the artist Cristina Lucas from the Sisita Soldevila collection at the Can Framis Museum. The proposal, which alludes to Delacroix’s famous painting, Liberty leading the people, is a staging in which the future of freedom is questioned. La Liberté raisonnée was previously presented in one of Loop Fair’s latest editions and is going to be showed nowadays when this freedom is in the spotlight more than ever because of the current situation.
Sisita Soldevila, who had the greatest artists in her video art collection, such as Bill Viola and Michael Snow, was a reference in video having at the same collection younger and renowned authors, such as: Eulàlia Valldosera, David Ymbernon or Cristina Lucas. Soldevila was an outstanding collector in Spain and known for the creation of the prestigious art hotel, Ámister Art Hotel.
On November 19 at 6 pm the artist Cristina Lucas will participate in an online round table with Carles Guerra, artist and art critic, and Natàlia Chocarro, director of external projects of the Vila Casas Foundation.
Cristina Lucas
Born in Jaén in 1973. Lives and works in Madrid, Spain. With her work, Cristina Lucas, reminds us that art is a way of seduction that contributes to make us aware of what is happening in our society. Interested in the mechanisms of power, she analyzes the main political and economic structures dissecting them to reveal the existing contradictions between official history, reality and collective memory. She faces the flow of information trying to structure it into cartographies, installations or images, creating possible readings, although always unfinished. Her work has been presented in individual exhibitions at the Dos de Mayo Art Center in Móstoles, the Carrillo Gil Art Museum in Mexico; OK Centrum Linz, MUDAM Luxembourg; as well as in group exhibitions such as Manifesta 12 in Palermo; the 12th Shanghai Biennale; the 5th Ural Industrial Biennial or Diversity United in New Tretyakov Gallrey, Moscow.
