Sorondo Projects

Sorondo Projects is a contemporary project space located on Trafalgar Street in Barcelona. The gallery supports young and emerging artists by fostering a vibrant, inclusive artistic community in which diverse voices are meaningfully engaged. Its program focuses on practices that encourage reflection on collective identity, belonging, and difference, grounded in lived experience. With a particular commitment to Latin American artists and diasporic perspectives, the gallery supports practices within the cultural and material frameworks.

Sorondo places a particular emphasis on the act of making, process based practices are central to its curatorial approach.  The gallery is drawn to works in which materials are approached as storytellers in their own right, holding histories, tensions, and emotional weight. This focus frequently results in abstract forms that resist immediate definition, inviting viewers into moments of receptive intuition and sensorial contemplation. 

Through exhibitions and ongoing dialogues, the gallery cultivates an environment of exchange, reflection, and shared learning, open for all, where art becomes a means of understanding both the self and the world.

Represented artists:

Suwon Lee, Luis Renteria, Lucrecia Lionti, Arale Reartes, María Elena Pombo, Silvana Trevale, Nikolay Morgunov, Paula Cabral Muchacho, Armando Mesias, Daniel Santolo, Theresa Weber

Nikolay Morgunov’s practice unfolds within the uncertain space where order and disruption coexist. His works originate from rigorous structures—grids and predefined systems—that, rather than imposing stability, become settings for accident, resistance, and transformation. Through a slow and accumulative process, Morgunov works with materials that exert opposing forces: charcoal on delicate surfaces, nails that place the canvas under tension, and transparent resins that alter the perception of depth. His compositions do not seek to resolve these tensions but to make them visible. 

Each gesture involves a negotiation between control and intuition, between construction and erosion. Material ceases to be a passive medium and becomes an active agent capable of altering the course of the work. Rather than representing the world, Morgunov creates conditions through which to observe how forms emerge, erode, and reorganize themselves, revealing the fragility of any system that appears stable.
