Residency August 6 to September 5
Exhibition August 31 to October 15
Opening August 31 – 5 à 7
Originally from Barcelona, now based in Germany, Anna Pasco Bolta has always cultivated an interest in science, even before taking up artistic creation. With degrees in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, she now has numerous exhibitions and opportunities to share her vision of art as the crossroads of a range of disciplines as diverse as they are complementary. After all, aren’t science and art just two ways of achieving the same goal: understanding how the world works? For Anna, it’s through open and sincere encounters with others, in all their forms, that it’s possible to achieve a sufficiently fine-tuned and complex awareness of what constitutes and inhabits the living world.
Through her scientific-artistic exploration, Anna questions the origin of life and its meaning, from a systemic perspective where a set of interdependent links is woven, and where microscopic reality is highlighted as the ultimate reflection of the macro world. Adopting an existentialist stance that lets things be without seeking to control them, Anna creates evolving, symbolic installations, inviting viewers to conceive of a more inclusive nature of which they are a full part, and in which new technologies are integrated. In Everywhen, the artist will present a range of works reflecting her creative thinking. From a sculpture of ceramic chewing gum, representative of the transformation of matter and knowledge, to the assembly of earths from different environments to observe them as living matter, to the exploitation of an electrically conductive bacterium, Anna invites the public to take a fresh look at their environment, to put an end to hierarchies and finally place themselves in symbiosis with what surrounds them.
