ECLOSIÓN EN VALENCIA 2014
VIDEOS MADE DURING AND FOLLOWING THE VENSKE & SPÄNLE EXHIBITION
The sculptures by Venske & Spänle form a population: organic shapes in marble that survive over time, with their own particular background, evolving and extending throughout the world.
These creatures, known as Smörfs, exist in a parallel world: they live alongside us, sharing our spaces and often interacting with the everyday objects they encounter along the way. They are abstract beings with their own character and personality, which turn up in different places from exhibitions or trade fairs to public spaces, parks and industrial areas) populating our planet.
The Smörfs have hatched in Valencia and guided by Fondo Arte-AS they make their way through the city, getting to know the architecture, the people… They move along the former riverbed of the River Turia, discovering and exploring their surroundings until they reach the San Pio V Fine Art Museum. Their visit to Valencia comes to an end with them exploring shop windows in the city centre.
