ProjecteSD

Based in Barcelona since 2003, ProjecteSD program has been constructed to generate a dialogue between renowned and young artists, and a platform to host and present works of different times and contexts, as a way to priorize artistic value over trends, classifications, nationalities or generations. ProjecteSD has traced a rigorous line of work, a solid yet not predictable program, with the goal of promoting its artists in the international art contemporary scene and to introduce to the Spanish audience international artists.

ProjecteSD has combined a daring exhibition program with a number of significant events that go beyond the conventional exhibition format. The gallery devotes special attention to artist's books and has been engaged in its own publishing work since 2008. Since 2014 ProjecteSD produces limited edition posters for each exhibition held at the gallery designed exclusively by artists as a way to counteract corporate overdesigned manifestations to favour, simplicity and directness.

LUCE‘s (Valencia, 1989) artistic practice is born linked to his walks through the city and its periphery. His work mainly translates into subtle site-specific interventions, in photographic compositions that document their actions, in works on paper as well as pieces created from objects he finds along his walks around the city. It is through these objects that he reveals a surprising capacity to detect exceptional traces and shows a profound versatility in working with non-traditional contexts and media. Writing is a fundamental part of LUCE‘s discourse and extends throughout his work.

In his second solo exhibition at ProjecteSD, Searching where there is nothing, a number of works on paper and small format works are brought together to form a mural space that functions as a cartography, a record of LUCE's practice, an account of his walks around the city. All of this is combined with larger-scale objects, through which the artist reveals a surprising ability to detect exceptional patterns and a profound versatility in working with non-traditional contexts and media.
