The programme Llegim juntxs la contemporaneïtat promoted by Es Baluard Museu proposes presentations of books, texts and publications that directly appeal to collective reflection on different problems that face our time such as bodies, identities or utopias, among many others. The proposal is proposed based on the themes of the exhibition programme and the programmatic lines of the Museum, always in the company of the authors.
Within the framework of this initiative we include the presentation of Body on the Run. Membrane and Transition by Nauzet Major. The publication is the Museum’s own production on the occasion of the artist’s exhibition. This special edition includes the texts of Martí Manen, curator of the exhibition, in addition to incorporating “Flesh, Bones and You” by Manuel Segade, along with a selection of images of the works.
Presented by: Pilar Rubí, head of Public programs at Es Baluard Museu
Nauzet Mayor works from sculpture through textures and membranes, gestures and presence. In his work he mixes a clinical view with the poetic possibility of desire, balancing between the psychological approach to bodies, as well as the acceptance of their physicality beyond the logic of meaning.
The exhibition “Body on the Run. Membrane and Transition”, in Es Baluard Museu between February 17 and May 25 of this year, was presented as a dialogue between fragmented bodies and the bodies of all those people who entered a new space created within the room: with a tensioned membrane, a place in process was generated, an ambiguity and an altered moment, an impasse that allowed proximity and active observation.
Nauzet Mayor (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1980) lives in Mallorca, where he carries out his artistic production. He has exhibited his art at Casa de Cultura de Felanitx, Casal Solleric, Addaya Centre d’Art Contemporani and at Galeria Fran Reus. With a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, his work is multidisciplinary, encompassing issues such as new interaction technologies in contemporary society, sculptural composition, emphasising on contemporary figuration of the body, and concern for artistic labour as a multifactorial battlefield criss-crossing the artist’s everyday existence.
