Xavier Masero. Continents

For millennia, the Mediterranean has been a way, knowledge and culture in perpetual miscegenation. In this installation, the artist Xavier Masero focuses his gaze on some discrete objects that for centuries modulated the exchange and explosion of Mediterranean culture, the amphoras, and claims a higher category for them: They are not mere vessels or containers without a soul, he tells us. the artist-. They became continents of wisdom, they nurtured a world.

Se convirtieron en continentes de sabiduría, nutrieron un mundo

Durant mil·lennis, el Mediterrani ha estat camí, coneixement i cultura en perpetu mestissatge. En aquesta instal·lació, l’artista Xavier Masero centra la seva mirada sobre uns objectes discrets que durant segles van modular l’intercanvi i l’explosió de la cultura mediterrània, les àmfores, i reivindica per a elles una categoria major: No són mers atuells o recipients sense ànima –ens diu l’artista–.
