FUGA

FUGA is an independent gallery initiative that brings together a curated selection of artists with multidisciplinary approaches, located in the range between the visual, the poetic, the material and the conceptual. Its curatorial approach is characterised by its interest in proposals that push the boundaries of artistic language and consider art as an essential instrument for interpreting the present and expanding forms of perception.

The gallery arises from a personal concern that becomes a group commitment: to provide an environment where art is not only shown, but also dialogues, questions and encourages new interpretations. FUGA, beyond representation, attends to processes, encourages experimentation and keeps an analytical eye on contemporary practices.

With a solid commitment to the local and national art scene, FUGA is actively involved in its transformation, maintaining a permanent dialogue with the discourses and tendencies of current art.

FUGA considers itself as a gathering point where research, production and critical reflection coexist.

Represented artists:

Shirin Salehi, Marla Jacarilla, Nieves Mingueza, Enric Ansesa, Agustina Fioretti, Rosell Meseguer, Valentina Alvarado Matos, Iván Candeo, Krystel Liliana, Lena Laguna Diel, Caterina Miralles, Anna Ill, Miquel García.

In his first solo exhibition at a gallery, Gabriel Ventura presents a show that traces a brief journey through the archive of the FEDC (Front for Emancipation and Collective Delirium), a fictional armed group created in the context of his new book. Through a series of works in different formats, the exhibition delves into the tactics, theories and political programme of a contemporary anarchist group that fights both for informational sovereignty and for the psychic freedom of citizens. Inspired by groups such as the Red Brigades, Action Directe and the Red Army Faction, the members of the FEDC defend guerrilla warfare as a means of combating capitalist powers. Their actions consist of attacking the technological and logistical infrastructures of large multinationals and, in particular, newly built data centres.

The FEDC combines utopian political thought with highly specific cosmic conceptions, rooted in the historical link between mysticism and anarchism. We are faced with an armed group that takes a stand for a political, psychic and sensory revolution. From the FEDC’s point of view, one of the great problems of all revolutions is their extremely rational dimension. The FEDC defends a sensorially more complex, unpredictable and mysterious world, in which synchronicities and the cult of chance are also political elements.
