Notes related to La Cometa

Ana González (Bogotá, Colombia, 1974) explores the significance of water as a medium, an environment, and a sacred entity in Llovizna, her solo exhibition at La Cometa’s Madrid venue. Rooted in the Muisca culture’s reverence for water as an integral part of sacred land, this element becomes the symbolic core of her exhibition. Through it, the artist reflects on its spiritual value while also exposing the harsh reality of the Bogotá River, using symbolism to prompt a deeper awareness of environmental degradation.

The Madrid branch of La Cometa gallery presents during July the work of eight of its Ibero-American artists in a group show that delves into different languages and techniques, from ceramics to painting, and also includes dialogues with architecture and other productions. Three of those represented come from Spain, while of the five American representatives, four are Colombian and one is Cuban, which brings a representative vision of the gallery's artistic proposal closer to the spectator.

Quiebramales commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the conception of the David Quiebramales project. The exhibition at La Cometa gallery revisits the biopolitics that traverse the bodies affected by war, the structures that build (and destroy) a society, and education as a path to social justice.
