INTERVENTION CYCLE: 20 GRADOS

As part of the Parallel Program, the Tectónica Space will host the Intervention Cycle: 20 Grados. The research by the artists and curators presented in this section focuses on the dialogue between art and urban spaces, using different artistic practices to question the social structure of the cities we inhabit and the way we interact with their architectures and territories. Through these actions, bridges will be built between disciplines and diverse perspectives, expanding the understanding of how art is nourished by the urban fabric and how public space serves as a natural environment for artistic creation. The 20 Grados Intervention Cycle presents the work of 10 key artists in the contemporary art sector in an open, relaxed, and dynamic space.

INTERVENTION BY GUILLERMO G. PEYDRÓ & JEANNE DE PETRICONI: MATERNIDAD GEOMÉTRICA

When: Saturday March 8th. 17:00h

Where: Tectónica Space. (Stand D3). Art Madrid Fair. Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles. C/ Montalbán, 1.

The video sculpture 'Geometric Maternity', co-authored by Guillermo G. Peydró and Jeanne de Petriconi, will be located in a corner of the space, with headphones available for the public to listen to individually. At the same time, Guillermo G. Peydró will give a commentary tour of fragments of his work projected on the main screen. As the authorship of the video sculpture is shared, it is appropriate that the event is developed as a duo. While the audience interacts with the video sculpture, Guillermo G. Peydró will present on the main screen examples of his research into the filming of art, with a particular focus on Jeanne's works, such as Architectomie#1 and En contre-plongée, la mer. Jeanne de Petriconi, for her part, will be able to comment on the filmed sculptures and share her own creative process.
