Exploring Iron Flowers at Espacio Marzana in Bilbao
Contemporary art enthusiasts visiting the Bilbao Estuary area can experience the results of a year-long creative effort by artist Ana Román. Espacio Marzana hosts the project Iron Flowers, bringing together a distinct installation that builds upon the author's established artistic vocabulary while exploring new directions.
What to Expect from the Exhibition in Bilbao
The current presentation draws on a conceptual contrast between the refined fragility of biological forms and the industrial strength of metal. Visitors encountering the installation will find a multi-layered environment that reflects on complex life processes and the outcomes of everyday encounters.
The showcase incorporates a diverse array of media while maintaining a foundational connection to painting:
- Nine works on stretcher frames
- Four large-scale digital prints
- The screening of a short animation series titled Órdenes perversas
- A specialized object catalogue titled Mobile Box, drawing conceptual inspiration from historical artistic traditions
Context and Additional Screenings
Alongside the core installation, the venue features supplementary programming. During the exhibition period, visitors can view the documentary 86Hz, directed by Martín López. The film captures an artistic residency involving creators from the Basque region and Turkey at the Ukksa Cultural Center in southwestern Turkey.
