Servidor Local presents Esculturas domésticas TV", screening from the first chapter of a short documentary by the artist Antonio Castillo.

Servido Local will screen the pilot episode of “Esculturas Domésticas TV”, a short documentary by Antonio Castillo, in which he presents a work methodology that focuses on the importance of doing things from the recognition of the possibilities and preferences of the artist himself. Making evident the need to generate exercise-friendly spaces. Highlighting simplicity and the importance of things being doable. This short documentary is part of a visual arts learning and teaching project called “domestic sculpture workshop” which arises from an interest in teaching the way the artist would have liked to have learned.
