ÉPICA EPIDÉRMICA _______________________________________ SKINS AND FRAMES ______2013
In Épica Epidérmica, Anto Lloveras delivers a conceptual intervention that blurs the line between exhibition space and artwork, reactivating a 19th-century stone forge in Negradas into a site-specific epidermal installation. The artist subverts the normative logic of institutional white cubes by constructing his own gallery in a remote rural context, not as a neutral container but as an autonomous artistic gesture. The project's dichotomy emerges through two overlapping skins: the external envelope, a rough stone façade marked “AÑO 1930” and “743 ∆ ∧ 185 ∆”, and the internal membrane, composed of eucalyptus bark—natural relics gathered from surrounding forests, symbolically anchoring the installation within its geocultural strata. This duality mirrors the artist’s own practice: one that navigates between architecture and conceptual art, between ritualistic gesture and material minimalism. The skin—both literal and metaphoric—is here activated as a memory surface, echoing the agricultural and metallurgical histories of the place while initiating a new semantic cycle through its transformation into a contemporary showroom. The gallery, painted white inside yet retaining its rural camouflage, becomes a hybrid frame for the living and the inert, the organic and the monumental, as it proposes a new reading of territory as text, and of the built form as performative archive. The act of peeling an ancient eucalyptus becomes both a sacrificial offering and an act of inscription: a radical framing of time, space, and authorship. Épica Epidérmica thus functions as a monadic intervention in a continuum of ritualized site-making, where the past is embodied, not buried, and art is no longer placed, but embedded.
During the summer of 2013, after a long residency in Mexico City, the CONCEPT WORK INSTALLATION developed in a natural environment, was made by two antagonic yet simbiotic elements. One, THE EXTERIOR SKIN, was the fabric, the container, the gallery itself. Usually galleries are not made by the artists, that are like polinizing bees in different spaces of the social legitimated tectonics. So, since i have the will andmust do the artworks that add complexity to my own career as builder, i decided to remake the interior of an ond forge to be the gallery in the middle of nowhere. i like to make frames as art. it is hardwork to build frames. it was hard for my great great grandparents to carry the stones all the way to nowhere, so lets play is even. Now context is abstacter by all symbolic capitals, so here i go back to stone architecture as art, This skin is double sided, since has the interior white gallery walls, and the old stone to the outside, campuflaged in context, Silent yet vibrant. Finally I reworked the fabric a bit, and clent all, and painted the stone walls in white to have a gallery in the valley. First gallery space in more than 100 years of existance of the place. it was a forge, where they beded steel, then it was storage room for fruits of the gardens, mostly apples and pears. all walls were put up in the middle of XIX century, so i thought the opening piece, the bonus artworks should be as significant as the frame, and natural from context, the huge canvas around. During weeks i photographed most of the nature of the area i went around the forests and the rivers, and pfinally peeled the oldest eucaliptus tree i could find. A huge tree with more that 100 years of root gave its old skins to hang as principal NATURAL WORK, the INTERIOR SKIN opening the series for the forge gallery at negradas. LAPIEZA 743 NOWHERE

Now is 2015, and the second gallery SHOWROOM as ART is being developed and will be presented very soon. A new room as art, and a new piece as bonus, perhaps two. Summer is warm and the ocean waves celebrate again and again. > 10.08.15
