David Cívico at Espacio Marzana in Bilbao
Exploring the Diorama Project in Contemporary Practice
Espacio Marzana hosts a solo presentation by artist David Cívico, bringing his evolving project Diorama to the contemporary art gallery beside the Bilbao Estuary. The exhibition highlights the artist's ongoing exploration of non-linear time, memory, and spatial narrative.
Born in Donostia in 1974 and holding a degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country with specializations in painting and audiovisuals, Cívico builds this exhibition around his narrative work Los insaciables. Divided into distinct acts, the project incorporates conceptual threads inspired by independent architectural endeavors in Madrid and historical imagery from Barcelona.
Visitors to the gallery encounter the second act of this evolving cycle. The presentation features documentation redrawn in reverse and subsequently erased, alongside sculptural objects modeled in clay that capture fleeting moments of conception. Together, these elements form a reversible diorama that challenges traditional temporal boundaries within contemporary artistic practice.
