“Evasiones”: B-Murals and Indague reveal the most unknown and reflective side of graffiti and urban art.
EVASIONES. THE STREET AS FICTION
B-Murals and INDAGUE present “Evasiones. The Street as Fiction,” an exhibition that explores the lesser-known, reflective side of graffiti and urban art. Running from September 28th to November 23rd, the show invites visitors to pause and consider how urban art interacts with public spaces, transcending the confines of traditional exhibitions. The exhibition is free to the public, and the opening event will include a live performance by musician Enric Ponsa.
The show features renowned artists like Sebas Velasco, Ampparito & Irene Luna, Les Frères Ripoulain, Vandals On Holidays, Maz & Riaq Miuq, FMF, Jean Philippe Illanes, Yoni, and Sonja Ben. Each artist brings a unique perspective, from Les Frères Ripoulain’s critical exploration of graffiti in media to FMF’s fusion of illustration and ceramics through industrial recycling.
Sebas Velasco (b. 1988), continues his hunt for fragile brutalism that only rears its head in the margins of urban life. A multidisciplinarian, Velasco brings tenderness where you won’t expect to see it and may very well overlook it. With a blend of photography, video, and painting, he lays bare the blunt instruments of life, the destruction we’ve wrought, insisting there is something redeeming, poetic even. Like many of the brave artists and thinkers in this showcase, his work is reblending categories, street and gallery, personal and political.
From the press release: “The show is aimed at both scholars and researchers in the art world and anyone interested in discovering the most human, unknown, and reflective aspects of grati and urban art. The opening will take place on September 28th from 6 pm to 9 pm. Admission is free, and some of the artists featured in the exhibition will be attending, along with a live performance by musician Enric Ponsa. The exhibition will be open until November 23rd and parallel activities will be organized for all audiences.”
