Martín Llavaneras

First composition for siblings Baschet

The work of Martin Llavaneras impacts directly on the appropriation of contexts, situations and products to your door external field using the idea of ​​limit, and that developed midway between the reviews of conceptual art theories of the sixties, the importance body as artistic instrument, balance, danger and ridicule. A very impressive and simple acts involving a high load between the fictional and the real meaning, expanding it as insubstantial goal to achieve. An internship at the front end, and that under different records ranging from video, text and installation, the peak concentration in the production process, establishing simple dynamics that allow you to alter the whole relationship between space and time dimension.

In earlier work presented as "Hangingout", proposes a procedural work that explores the image through urban landscapes with minor variations which apparently does not happen anything, but where it detects the existence of a human figure concealed and suspended in the air , making the scenario changed dramatically in urban visual perception. No sign of any movement points but action.

The project posed by Guinovart Space, is a step in this progressive work, showing scenes from urban landscapes to other mode of exercise of territorial intrusion, and even the appropriation of a strip a time that is their due. Thus, "first composition for siblings Baschet" proposes a review by a collection of sculptural public statuary produced during the decade of 60-70 in the city of Berlin, which is directly involved in constructivist sculptures made by nature for other artists, and presented for the occasion under a different approach had not yet given in his work: the introduction of sound.

Thus, the present attempt impossible to hit against an object and draw a sculpture, a banda, a clumsy approach and acts performant artistic theories regarding the happenings of Kaprow, and brothers Baschet sound structures, and on the other hand the fact of change for a moment-by-the meaning of this action sculpture, and thus generate a turning point parallel to its artistic context, historical and political forty years after its construction .

"First composition for siblings Baschet" brings on an expanded work that started with projects like "Excursions in Caza", "Meeting in Transnistria", and "Encounter between a fox and a conejo," in which the notion of documentation and structure, helps to work from art history, action and landscape. A constant quest that takes the creative process as a tool to convert what apparently trivial importance.
