Sitting down with artist Stella Rahola

The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to report that at 7.00pm this Friday, the Casa del Poble will host a talk with Stella Rahola, an architect and sculptor and the artist behind "Fig Juice", an installation which opened recently in the Far de la Mola cultural and educational space.

Biography

Stella Rahola Matutes completed studies at the Barcelona School of Architecture and Goldsmiths at University of London, and received a degree in sculpture from Escola Massana. Rahola's solo shows include "Fig Juice " (Espai Micus, Eivissa, 2020-2021), "Babelia & Other Stories " (Can Mario Museum, Palafrugell, 2019) i"The other landscape" (Carles Taché Gallery, Barcelona, 2014). Among numerous collective exhibitions are "Politics of Translation, The Stone Space" (London, 2019) and "Syntonic State" at the TULCA Festival of Visual Arts (Galway, 2018).

Recently the artist was awarded the Vila Casas Foundation's Sculpture Prize.

Exhibition

Rahola's latest exhibition, "Fig Juice", is currently on view at Far de la Mola. In the installation, the three material bodies establish structures that are free to intertwine extemporaneously, without repetition, establishing tensions at different, decentralised points and occasionally breaking with the concept of humans as observers.

The title "Fig Juice" alludes to the unstable liquid state which nearly makes it possible for us to be ingested and embody ourselves. Islanders can catch the exhibition at the Far de la Mola gallery Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00am to 2.00pm.
