Exhibition summary

This exhibition is conceived as a choreography, bringing together pieces from various artistic disciplines like theater and dance, with a focus on live arts. It features material and immaterial works, voices, gestures, and the bodies of performers, inviting visitors to engage with new ways of perception through body and voice.

Curatorial context

Conceived as a choreography, "Este puede ser el lugar" (This could be the place) is an exhibition that blurs the lines between disciplines such as theater, dance, and visual arts, with a strong focus on live arts. It presents a composition of hybrid pieces, highlighting the body and performative gesture as the fundamental raw material. The exhibition integrates material and immaterial works, voices, gestures, remnants of actions, scenic and film pieces, and the bodies of interpreters, all within a space that encourages dialogue and interaction. The show recontextualizes these pieces within an exhibition hall, posing questions about how recorded performances and visual art installations coexist and differ, particularly when artists come from diverse backgrounds like visual arts or choreography. Originally developed at TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, this iteration for Condeduque's Sala de Bóvedas opens the 24/25 Art season under the theme "The sound of the rubbing of your eye as you pass." It aims to foster an awareness of other forms of perception through the body and voice, leaving the exhibition title as an open-ended question, "This, could it be the place?"

Admission and ticket notes

General admission to the exhibition is free. Specific tickets are required for guided tours and dynamic workshops, with free entry for guided tours available six days prior and a nominal fee for workshops. Details for specific activities are provided on the page with links to booking or entry points for these events within the Condeduque center.
