Curatorial context
In SAUDADE 01/158, David Oliver, also known as Grip Face, presents his most intimate project to date, marking his second solo exhibition at SC Gallery. The artist reconfigures the gallery space into an immersive, perverse domestic environment, inviting visitors to interact with a variety of elements including deformed tapestries, canvases, intervened walls, and sculptures. This exhibition serves as the first entry in an ambitious trilogy of projects planned between 2021 and 2022.
Developing his artistic practice further, Oliver continues to evolve his signature iconography—masks, walls, and themes of human waste—that have been central to his work since his previous exhibitions at the gallery. The project, realized with the curatorial collaboration of Jordi Pallarès, highlights a moment where the artist’s work merges deeply with his everyday life. Through this distinctive staging, Oliver creates a private, connected room of his own that remains both hidden and revealing, pushing the boundaries of traditional gallery presentation.
