For the 2024 edition of LOOP Festival Barcelona, Robert Wilson’s Video Portrait of Gao Xingjian (HF Video, 2005), writer and 2000 Nobel Laureate in Literature, enters a visual dialogue with a work by Xingjian himself, “Lumière” (Ink on canvas, 2015). Complemented by Wilson’s “Messiah” drawings (Charcoal on paper, 2020), the exhibition at galeria SENDA invites the viewer to an experience of slow and reflective contemplation. In a world of rapid stimuli and fleeting images, it forces us to stop, to feel each small gesture, to observe and to appreciate the power of subtlety in art.

The Bernier/Eliades Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Owls and Chairs” by Robert Wilson. The opening reception will take place on October 12 from 5 to 9 PM.

For this show, Robert Wilson is creating an environment using designs from his 1998 production The White Raven, the 1999 THE DAYS BEFORE: death, destruction & detroit III, and his 2006 video work KOOL. Much like in his stage work, Wilson will transform the gallery into a space for the imagination, challenging the viewer to take an associative approach to the experience.

There should be no definitions for design and art; there is a real need for unconventional ideas free from worn-out methods of expression and beyond the boundaries of disciplines. This is the way to enable world-shaking-ly fascinating works to see the light of day, which broaden horizons and break down barriers between fields, is it not? 

Demonstrating that any classification is unnecessary for creations, the exhibition "Image-Makers" will certainly offer visitors an evocative experience, awaking a sense of wonder and innocent feelings of joy that they used to find as a child.

The exhibition will feature the works of great image-makers such as Jean-Paul Goude, Jun Miyake, ROBERT WILSON, David Lynch, Noritaka Tatehana and Photographer Hal. Their works - photographs, drawings, video installations and kinetic sculptures–as well as their creation processes, which have close links with the worlds of fashion, performance, design and cinema, will provide visitors with multiple perspectives, enabling them to embark on a journey into an imaginary world in a moment.

July 4 - October 5, 2014

Hours from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm

Closed on Tuesdays (except September 23)

This is the first exhibition in Slovakia of the work of Robert Wilson, famous theater director, designer and producer; it will feature a selection of his traveling Voom Portraits.

Wilson’s portraits, usually displayed in galleries and always in perfect arrangements, represent noteworthy examples of the classical genre with an upgrade by way of new digital technology. They can sparkle in a darkened gallery (as works of “high art”), illuminate rough city spaces (as light box advertisements), decorate living rooms or serve as themes for mobile phone applications.  Of course, Wilson counts on this multi-functionality–however, perfect technological support is a must.

Wilson’s extravagant visual style is always saturated, full of impulses, strongly stylized, campy and kitschy, in its own way.  And his Voom Portraits are no different.  Their saturated beauty draws from the traditions of theater, film, music and visual art while remaining strongly digital and fully utilizing the means of expression of the new media.  It is high-definition beauty, with graceful slow motion and ideal calibration. 

Open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and Thursdays from 12:00 pm to 8.00 pm.  The Slovak Nation Gallery is closed on Mondays.
