PATRICIO REIG AND THE ANATOMY OF THE GAZE
Patricio Reig (San Juan, Argentina, 1952) exhibits at the Centre Cultural La Mercè in Girona Anatomía de la mirada, a proposal that deals with the dissection of the act of looking and its individual and subjective approach.
With this analysis, the Argentinean delves into the study of the environment, of the indiscreet glances, provoked or generated by interpersonal relationships, but also of those subjects that, almost passively, are also so in the vital space of each one.
Reig raises this radiography from that mixture between photography and literature, to which are added more intangible arts, with which he has been working, landing and resulting in his proposals in photographs-object in which underlies the need for the need to stop to turn it into documents that challenge the sensory. The exhibition on display in the Catalan town is curated by Natàlia Chocarro and is a collaboration between the Centre Cultural La Mercè and the Fundació Vila Casas.
Anatomía de la mirada can be seen until June 21 at the Centre Cultural La Mercè, Pujada de la Mercè, 12, Girona, Spain.

THE URGENT BESTIARY OF ROBERT NAVA
Standing before the expressive forcefulness of Mexican-American Robert Nava (East Chicago, USA, 1985) can be risky. At first glance, the primitivism in the technique used in his canvases is shocking in the conversion of the strength of the stroke and the basics of the gesture into a language that agglutinates a brute force. Perhaps for that reason, the usual tendency of those who face his work is to quickly pigeonhole it out of the academic, out of that refinement that is presupposed -although less and less- to those who fill the room of a museum, to let themselves be carried away by the urgency of expression in front of that pretended good taste.
LEANDRO FEAL AND HIS GREEN HAVANA
