After their participation in the XVII Call de Luis Adelantado in 2015, the Andalusian artists Julia Fuentesal and Pablo M. Arenillas return to the gallery with their exhibition Why Animals Travel, which they will present on 25 January at Boiler Room.
This is a research project based on their dual experience as antagonistic creators, and the study of translation. Of expanded drawing and its deterritorialisation. Working with materials intended for drawing, which are stripped of their original function and given a new concept, maintaining the parallelism of the material but displacing all its components to a new territory.
Why Animals Travel describes the periodic displacements of his artistic work, experimental cycle and constant search. They narrate the reality acquired by their process of life, travel, work, time, training, as a reflection of their current moment. They are interested in the idea of adaptation, deterritorialisation and holism.
To speak of deterritorialisation necessarily refers to the work of two philosophers: Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, who use this concept in their philosophy, and for whom it has a particularly positive meaning: the opening for the new, the line of flight as a moment of departure from an old territoriality and the construction of a new territory.
