CATÁLOGO
WEB ACCESS CAÑADA BLANCH AWARD

Fer i desfer, pensant amb les mans (Doing and undoing, thinking with your hands) is the public presentation of the works that form part of the Cañada Blanch Collection Award 2022. The works presented in this edition, although they deal with different issues of concern today, curiously respond to a similar way of approaching artistic practice, showing a great interest in working processes and experimentation with materials.

Touching the material, the tools, making, thinking, looking, undoing, remaking and playing with the freedom of those who are not afraid of doing and undoing, in order to establish a dialogue between practice and thought, between procedure and concept. Working with your hands as a way of thinking and approaching creative practice. This is the way of approaching the creative process of some of the artists in this exhibition. And although undoing is the opposite of doing, here, doing and undoing are DOING. Doing, undoing and redoing is nothing but evolution. Because, sometimes, going back is the best way to move forward.

With the aim of promoting the dissemination of contemporary art and consolidating the cultural fabric of the Valencian Community, LaVAC, the Cañada Blanch Foundation, the Universitat Politècnica de València and the Universitat de València, have worked together for the success of this 8th edition.

The jury will be made up of:

•     Juan Viña (President of the Cañada Blanch Foundation)

•     Eva Sandoval, (Member of the Board of Trustees of the Cañada Blanch Foundation)

•     Paula Sánchez (Director of the Cañada Blanch Foundation)

•     Beatriz Espejo (art critic)

•     Elena Vozmediano, (art critic)

•     Ester Alba Pagán, (Vice-Principal for Culture and Society at the Universitat de València)
