Juan López. Las frecuencias altas

Exhibition by Juan López in the Sala de Bóvedas at the Centro Cultural Conde Duque, with an installation that sets the arches of the space in dialogue with sound, image and sculpture.

The exhibition by Juan López occupies the Sala de Bóvedas at the Centro Cultural Conde Duque in Madrid. The project takes the architecture of the room as its starting point and turns it into the basis of the whole ensemble, with sound, image and sculpture as languages that rest upon it.

The arches receive a semi-transparent resin coating and are connected to laser sensors that translate the irregularities of the walls into sound lines. The audio pieces were made together with Anna Dot, Marc Vives and Carlos Amorales, and the ensemble evokes, in a figurative sense, the echo of the horses that once occupied the building.

The exhibition is curated by Marta Ramos-Yzquierdo and includes a documentary section that engages in dialogue with Rachel Whiteread, Mirta Dermisache and Michael Eizher. The route links the building's past with the present and is designed for anyone interested in contemporary art and in the relationship between sound and architecture.
