This exhibition presents the work of Lara Almarcegui, focusing on her exploration of construction materials, urban demolition, and the geological transformations of the landscape. Through large-scale speculative projects and documentation of materials like gravel, sand, and rubble, the artist questions the temporal existence and future of these shifting, undefined terrains.
In her first exhibition at the gallery, Lara Almarcegui investigates the lifecycle of construction materials and their deep connection to the places from which they are sourced. Her work often involves large-scale collaborations with geologists and mining institutes to map the volumes of human-displaced earth, turning the gallery space into a site for examining these often overlooked terrains. The exhibition features various projects that analyze materials generated by demolition, quarrying, and dredging, reflecting on the temporal nature of these formations. Key featured works include 'Die Halden in Deutschland,' a large-scale calculation of the volume of German mining waste, and 'Calcárea de Mañaria,' a project documenting geological material from a local quarry before its final industrial processing. Through these projects, as well as documentation of the 'Buried House' initiative in Dallas, Almarcegui creates a profound meditation on the physical reality of building materials, the transformation of urban environments, and the complex interplay between human activity and geological history.
The exhibition is hosted at the CarrerasMugica gallery. Admission and visitor details should be verified through the gallery's official website.
