SAVE THE DATE | 10 September 6:30PM
Galeria NAVE will open the exhibition:
“STONE MEMORY: CASTLES OF SAND” of the Spanish sculptor Juan Miguel QUIÑONES.

Stone Memory: Castles of Sand brings together a series of sculptures by the Spanish artist Quiñones that investigate the relationship between material, memory and temporality. Drawing upon an imaginary shaped by the proximity of the sea, the works question sculpture’s capacity to transform lived experience into material permanence, allowing the mineral density of stone to
coexist with the unstable nature of memory.
Without resorting to representation or nostalgia, the exhibition constructs a space in which matter and memory become mutually intertwined. A subtle
exhibition design extends this sensory universe, evoking the coastal landscape not as a place, but as a condition of experience. Between sedimentation and erosion, permanence and transience, Stone Memory:
Castles of Sand proposes a reflection on sculpture as a site where time and memory are inscribed.

ABWESENHEIT takes its title from the German word for “absence”, a concept that lies at the heart of Chema Alvargonzalez’s work and legacy. Conceived as a tribute to the artist, the exhibition also marks the twentieth anniversary of GlogauAIR, the artist residency programme he founded in Kreuzberg, Berlin.

We are delighted to invite you for the Opening, July 10th at 6pm of the memorial exhibition ABWESENHEIT (ABSENCE), dedicated to Chema Alvargonzalez (1960 – 2009) — curated by Mercedes Cerón, from Galeria NAVE (Lisbon, Portugal).
The Spanish conceptual and multidisciplinary artist, in 2006 founded GlogauAIR and this exhibition also marks the 20th Anniversary of this vital part of the artistic legacy.

ABWESENHEIT — the German word for “absence” — gives its title to this memorial exhibition. Through installation, photography, sculpture, light and sound, the exhibition explores absence as an active form of presence, evoking memories, traces and fragmented narratives. Presented within the artist’s former home and studio in Berlin, the exhibition reflects on time, legacy and transformation, establishing a dialogue between artwork, space and imagination.
