Pello Irazu: Panorama

image
  • Dates: March 10–June 25, 2017
  • Curator: Lucía Agirre

Pello Irazu is a key figure in the renewal of contemporary Basque and Spanish sculpture. Over the course of three decades, he has forged a solid career by fusing the broadest possible spectrum of sculpture with photography, drawing, and mural painting.

Regardless of the discipline he uses, Irazu's work exhaustively explores the problems that arise in the multiple relations between our bodies, objects, images, and spaces.

The installation design hinges on a conceptual and physical device invented by the artist, which incorporates some of the most significant milestones and masterpieces of his career.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is pleased to present Pello Irazu: Panorama, which examines the thirty-year track record of one of the foremost renovators of contemporary Basque and Spanish sculpture. As the title suggests, more than the backward glance which any retrospective entails, this show is a multi-directional vision where time wrinkles and folds in space, offering a kind of panoramic landscape.
