Julia Spínola At Caniche – Iturribide Etxea, Ibarrangelu 4

The exhibition Las convertidoras opened on December 6, 2024 at Iturribide Etxea, Caniche’s new exhibition space in Ibarrangelu (Bizkaia).

Julia Spínola (Madrid, 1979), lives and works in Barcelona. His artistic practice has focused fundamentally on the sculptural as a state of latency and as a process that generates pieces that resist a univocal definition. Their materiality comes into play with almost textual relationship processes between the sculptures themselves and with the spaces where they are exhibited, forming with each exhibition a particular perceptual artifact.

The repetition of gestures that become feverish and that are situated in an indeterminate space between knowing and not knowing, as well as the docility or dissidence of the material itself, place the artist in a place of estrangement, a departure from herself, “ something that relocates the entire previous plan”.

It is these “spaces of uncertainty”, transitional, metamorphic, that also illuminate the sculptures present in Las convertidoras. An accumulation of materials subjected to a non-linear transformation process, to an unexpected shock, whose reverberation blurs the pre-existing corporeality to return to us something entirely dislocated, entirely transformed.

Some of Julia Spínola’s solo exhibitions include Même mot, CRAC Alsace (Altkirch, 2024); Persona, foto, copia, Artium (Vitoria, 2023), Vis., Fundació Miró (Barcelona, 2020), Lubricán, Ca2M, (Madrid, 2018).

Some of the awards, recognitions and scholarships that he has obtained throughout his career include the Bosch Aymerich Foundation Sculpture Award (2024), the 2017 Arco Award, the Botín Plastic Arts Scholarship, Generation 2013 from Casa Encendida in Madrid and the El Ojo Crítico Visual Arts Award from National Radio of Spain 2013.
