Espacio Marzana Explores Contemporary Still Life in Bilbao
Espacio Marzana continues its commitment to contemporary artistic practices with a focused look at the genre of still life. Located alongside the Bilbao Estuary, the contemporary-art gallery presents an exhibition that investigates what still lifes mean within the context of our current historical moment.
Experiencing the Exhibition at Espacio Marzana
Visitors exploring the current presentation will encounter a thoughtful collection of works rooted in personal and studio environments. The exhibiting artist reflects on the everyday objects that currently surround their workspace alongside items that exist now only as photographs from the past. Through paint, these photographic memories undergo a process of intervention. This technique serves as a method to engage with personal history, reshape previous worldviews, and reclaim objects that have otherwise slipped away.
The resulting works bridge traditional genres and modern interpretations, capturing absence and transforming it into something new. By filtering past and present bodegones through a single artistic lens, the collection merges disparate timelines into a cohesive viewing experience for those visiting the local gallery space.
