Cristóbal Gracia and Jorge Méndez Blake

Cristóbal Gracia and Jorge Méndez Blake

Perlas atascadas y barrocas

On the occasion of the exhibition Forma Deforma Reforma Contrarreforma Transforma, Cristóbal Gracia and Jorge Méndez Blake come together to unfold the processes, research, and questions that sustain the show.

The conversation proposes a journey through the layers of Gracia’s practice, from the materiality of failure and accumulation to “code-phagy” as a strategy of resignification, in dialogue with Méndez Blake’s perspective, whose work delves into literature, architecture, and systems of knowledge. An encounter to trace bridges between both trajectories and to situate the exhibition through the voice of its author.
