Perejaume
Vue de l'exposition
 

Perejaume's video presents images of a curious activity he carries out in a Romantic landscape. The artist has created a singular and fragile architecture: four walls of white netting which fashion an intangible cube, a metaphor for the exhibition space. The white cube then turns inside-out like a glove and, becoming the object of an open-air exhibition, loses its function as neutral decor. This cube, and the small red tent against which the artist juxtaposes it, subtly transform the landscape into a peculiar formalist painting.

Perejaume was born in Barcelona in 1957. Since 1974, his interdisciplinary work has been the subject of numerous solo shows in Spain, including a major retrospective at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (1999), as well as abroad. He has recently exhibited at the Galería Soledad Lorenzo in Madrid and at the Rooseum Center for Contemporary Art in Malmö, Sweden.
