Display "Elena del Rivero. The quema"

Elena del Rivero is the artist invited to participate in the Artistic Project Extramurs 2025, under the curator of Mateo Feijóo. This project is unfolded based on an intense collaborative research and production work on the burning of the artist’s first works as a healing gesture. Thus, this edition deepens the connections between historical and personal memory, intercity narratives in dialogue with the environment and contemporary art practices, and once again emphasizes the potential of art as a vehicle for reflection and social change. The quema is based on an initial action developed in a Galician village in the region of A Baix Llimia, within the framework of the actions promoted by Casa do Pozo. This process was documented through images and sound recordings that have been key in the configuration of the current project. The works were burned in October 2024, after being exhibited in houses and spaces in the village. This action explores themes such as symbolic destruction, purification and renewal, elements that are articulated in dialogue with the urban and architectural spaces that will be involved in Barcelona.
