Several days ago we introduced you here in METALOCUS the opening of the new exhibition by Isidro Blasco at _2B gallery lead by the team of architects Moneo + Brock Studio. Once it has been installed, the exhibition can be visited at the Madrid's neighbourhood of Prosperidad.

New exhibition by Isidro Blasco, - it recovers part of his approaches and early works (more than 15 years, see the number 02 METALOCUS in 1999), that we presented previously in METALOCUS called CASA EN LÍNEA, takes place at the exhibition space _2B part of studio Moneo + Brock Studio.

By matching the opening date with ARCO's one, the exhibition began last February 25th and will run until the 27th of March.
 

Description of the project by Isidro Blasco:

My work recreates the architectural space of the whole or a particular section of the build space according to a subjective perception of this environment.

Along the shores of Elliot Bay in Seattle, USA, used to be row upon row of very simple wooden structures. These dwellings, which were built by Seattle's immigrant workers, are emblematic of its workers' history. We built a model house with the same number of windows and doors as this typical house and used it as the starting place for this installation _CASA EN LINEA.

I do think that the physical spatial experiences that occur in a very specific place; can be replicated in a different time and perceived by a different person.

In the process of creating our response to the basic elements of this architecture, we begin by selecting several angles or ‘views’ of the inside of the model house. We take photographs of these angles, and then construct a new space from the perspective of that vantage point. The resulting effect is a fragmentation of several single lines of sight. The three dimensional structures that will come out of this process will result in a linear succession of multiple angles, producing a space that is at once recognizable of the original house and at the same time entirely new.

Variations in perception and the way we look at the space that surrounds us are the central themes of this work.
