Exhibition summary

Waving is a solo exhibition by Catalan artist Marta van Tartwijk that explores the interplay between body, movement, and environment. The exhibition features a series of works incorporating sculpture, drawing, sound, and audiovisual projections.

Curatorial context

Waving serves as a conceptual exploration of the English verb 'to wave,' highlighting both the repetitive motions of natural forces like water and the gestural act of human greeting. Marta van Tartwijk utilizes this linguistic ambiguity to forge connections between landscape and body, presenting works that were developed during her 2019 and 2023 residencies at the BilbaoArte Foundation. The installation functions as a cohesive container for diverse media, including embossed aluminum sheets depicting local river vegetation, sculpture installations, and immersive audiovisual projections. By weaving together elements of drawing, sound, and performance, the exhibition invites visitors to consider themes of materiality, language, and representation within a landscape that mimics the continuous, fluctuating rhythm of a river.

Admission and ticket notes

The exhibition is open to the public with free admission. The venue is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Sundays and holidays from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; the hall is closed on Mondays.
