IDÒ is the name that Esther González has given the collection of photos she will display from Monday 14 September at the ‘Ajuntament Vell’ exhibition space. A faithful visitor of the island for forty years and counting, González reveals a Formentera that is distinctly personal, and a vision spanning the four seasons. The black and white format gives the photographer the means to capture the authentic Formentera, one where texture, shape and movement are the key players. The show comprises thirty 40cm x 50cm black and white prints.

IDÒ will be on view and open to the public 11.00am to 2.00pm and 6.00pm to 8.00pm until 26 September (closed Sundays and Monday mornings).
Opening: Monday 14 September at 6.00pm.

Today through 8 September, Centre Antoni Tur ‘Gabrielet’ will host Vida Morta, an exhibit by the Barcelona-born and Formentera-based photographer Muntsa Darné, alias Muntsabee.

“Vida Morta at its core is a reckoning with death”, confides the artist. “It’s about my uneasiness with regard to things that have ceased to exist or simply transformed into something else. Loss is a profound feeling at times difficult to express”, she asserts.

Darné insists each of her pieces is a creative process meant to transfer an emotion, and to share it she uses words and symbols of beings that are no longer here: a butterfly, a coded letter in a book...

The exhibit will be on view 11.00am to 2.00pm and 6.00pm to 10.00pm until 8 September (closed Wednesdays and Sundays).

Doors at the ‘Ajuntament Vell’ exhibition space open this Monday 31 August at 7.00pm for Laura Maresc’s Preludi. All week long save for Sundays and Monday mornings, islanders can see the show from 11.00am to 2.00pm and 7.00pm to 9.00pm until 12 September.

A reflection on the fragility of landscapes that works by turning the spotlight on nature, Preludi is an ensemble of sculpted work largely fashioned from objects in dialogue with their natural surroundings at the moment Maresc collects them. The artist’s compositions occupy a playing field in perpetual, if fragile, equilibrium, and the concept of the nest —a recurring theme in Maresc’s work— transports the beholder to place at once original and primitive. It is, according to the artist, a jumping-off point.
