This solo exhibition by artist and researcher Abigail Lazkoz investigates how the human body interacts with flat planes, from canvases to everyday tabletops. Hosted at Espacio Marzana, the presentation contrasts classical still life paintings with scientific concepts of scale. Visitors can observe how geometric constraints and two-dimensional surfaces actively frame our physical movement and spatial awareness.

This exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and two-dimensional surfaces, examining how we perceive and interact with planes from canvases to tabletops. Through a theoretical and artistic lens, Abigail Lazkoz investigates these 'obstacles' as both flat projections and complex spatial frameworks.
In this exhibition, Abigail Lazkoz delves into the nature of bidimensionality, questioning how we engage with flat surfaces in our daily and artistic lives. Drawing parallels between diverse contexts—from the 'still life' nature of classical painting to the scientific framing in Charles and Ray Eames' 'Powers of Ten'—the artist considers how our bodies react to the limits of a surface. By analyzing everything from table settings to screens and canvases, the work probes the tension between the physical reality of an object and the human tendency to project meaning onto it. The exhibition invites visitors to think of surfaces not merely as passive fields of representation, but as active constraints that shape our movement and perception. Lazkoz uses this inquiry to build a dialogue with art history, highlighting how artists have long used these geometric limits to experiment with scale, perspective, and the domestic landscape. By focusing on the 'closeness' of these surfaces, the artist reveals a deeper, more complex layer of human experience within the boundaries of a rectangular frame.
The exhibition is hosted at Espacio Marzana. Please check the venue's official website for visitor information and opening details regarding the exhibition period.
