Claudia Pagès Rabal: Feudal Holes – A Contemporary Art Exhibition on the Silk Road and Cultural Exchange

This exhibition by Claudia Pagès Rabal delves into her research on the Silk Road, exploring the historical network of trade routes that facilitated the exchange of goods and knowledge across Asia and the Mediterranean. The exhibition uses video installations, performances, sculptures, and drawings to examine themes of territorial control, cultural diversity, and the complex entanglements of spatial, temporal, and textual layers.

Claudia Pagès Rabal's exhibition, "Feudal Holes," is an in-depth exploration stemming from her longstanding research into the Silk Road, the legendary network of trade routes that historically served as a conduit for not only goods but also capital in the form of knowledge across Asia and the Mediterranean. The artist, a visual artist and writer born in 1990, utilizes video installations, performances, sculptures, and drawings to address complex themes. These include the protean history of the Iberian Peninsula, global migration movements, territorial appropriation and control, and the rich cultural diversity and intermingling found within the Mediterranean region. Pagès Rabal's artistic approach is characterized by condensation, where intricate spatial, temporal, visual, and textual layers unfold through the combination of seemingly contradictory and asynchronous elements, revealing their multifaceted entanglements. The exhibition builds upon Pagès Rabal's extensive artistic practice, which has seen her participate in significant international events such as the Venice Biennial and the Istanbul Biennial, with notable solo exhibitions at institutions like Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation, Chisenhale Gallery, and SculptureCenter. Her work is further complemented by her publications, including novels and artist books, and she has received recognition such as the Ojo Crítico Visual Arts Award in 2022, alongside artist residencies. The exhibition "Feudal Holes" was produced with support from the "la Caixa" Foundation and Hangar, Centro de Producción e Investigación Artística, with a new publication co-produced by Chisenhale Gallery and mumok.
