Amaya González Reyes (Sanxenxo, 1979) is responsible for the fifth proposal of MARCO Vigo in the Enter the work cycle, which has been developing for several months with the previous involvement of Loreto Martínez Troncoso, Wilfredo Prieto, Rubén Grilo and Karmelo Bermejo. Under this statement, taken from the work of Giovanni Anselmo, the museum proposes a series of reflections on the relationship between the artist and his work, the tecniques of the observer, the space and time.

The exhibition features 12 works created by the Galician artist in 2011, among which include installations, sculpture / objects and a series of 5 pictures. They expresse relative terms to the paradox surrounding the concept of the viewer inside the museum, between passivity and action, as part of the cycle that previously analyzed the relationship between public opinion and the viewer as inherent elements the work.

The role of the spectator in the creative process has been the subject of numerous essays and exhibitions over the past decades. There is a direct relationship between them – an exchange that creates a new dimension of space and in time, in which the piece is developed – which alters the conditions of reception and perception.

To achieve this goal, Amaya Gonéalez Reyes focuses on the idea of ​​loss in its broadest sense. Complementary and contradictory feelings, always subjective, such as comfort, whimsy, satisfaction, but also trap the disenchantment, the nightmare, in the dilemma between feeling and reason, which is transformed with public involvement. Entering the work. Lost in the work will be open in the first floor of the MARCO Vigo until May 20. Alejandro Martinez
