There are haughty objects: objects that, even in the most precarious conditions, strive to keep their distance. This exhibition explores this remoteness imposed (and shared) by artistic and religious artefacts, taking as an example goods from four nearby monasteries: buildings that were erected to last forever and which, despite themselves, have ended up diminished or destroyed.
By bringing together some of their fragments and forcing them into conversation with contemporary works, this exhibition attempts to confront their stubbornness by slipping through the cracks of their vanity: giving them, once again, an opportunity to dignify themselves and to display, in another time and space, the aura they never wanted to lose.
With projects by Raquel G. Ibáñez, José Miguel Pereñíguez, Luis Vassallo and works by Martínez Bellido, Juliana Cerqueira Leite and Jorge Diezma; goods referring to or coming from the monasteries of San Pedro de Eslonza, San Miguel de Escalada, Santa María de Sandoval and Santa María la Real de Gradefes; the Diocesan Archive of León, the parish of Palazuelo de Eslonza and the Museum of León.
