Those of you who don’t keep up with Edinburgh’s literary world through Twitter may have missed the recent spate of mysterious paper sculptures appearing around the city.
Guardian article, 3rd March 2011. One day in March, staff at the Scottish Poetry Library came across a wonderful creation, left anonymously on a table in the library. Carved from paper, mounted on a book and with a tag addressed to @byleaveswelive – the library’s Twitter account – reading: It started with your name @byleaveswelive and became a tree.… … We know that a library is so much more than a building full of books… a book is so much more than pages full of words.… This is for you in support of libraries, books, words, ideas….. a gesture (poetic maybe?)

Nota de prensa: "Precipitados" de Pablo Genovés se expone en la galería Estiarte de Madrid, desde el 5 de noviembre hasta el 16 de diciembre. ¿La cultura conquistada por la naturaleza, o la naturaleza aprisionada por la cultura?
En las imágenes de Pablo Genovés, la pugna entre ambas se ha hecho eterna, y ya no es posible discernir quién agrede a quién. La lucha por la apropiación del espacio deriva en escenas de destrucción, de fin de una época, haciendo un guiño a los presagios catastrofistas que hoy, más que nunca, aguzan el imaginario colectivo. A su vez, estas imágenes proceden de realidades preexistentes: estampas antiguas que el artista revisita y transfigura, liberando la imagen fotográfica de su eterna vigencia, dotando a los elementos del pasado de una nueva capacidad de evocación.
En los fotomontajes de Genovés, el mundo -ese que creemos habitar- parece haber sido destruido hace ya mucho tiempo. De él sólo queda una representación: su aspecto, su forma y sus reflejos, pero sin rastro de lo humano. Precipitados propone un viaje de despedida a todo aquello que algún día fue emblema de nuestros logros. Comunicación: Underdogs.
