Galería Hilario Galguera is pleased to present Daniel Buren's solo show, Las cajas, trabajos situados, 2022 ("Las cajas The Boxes, situated works, 2022".)
This exhibition forms part of Buren's most recent body of work based on cubes, in which the interior walls of the gallery have been covered by colourful modular sculptures. The hybrid situated works along with the circulation and movement throughout the exhibition, modify the experience and understanding of architectural space.
Daniel Buren is an artist who has based his practice, among other things, on the idea of the zero degree of painting, which consists of the negation of painting (on canvas) as an object and its reduction to minimal components, color and support. This concept is formally emphasized by the use and repetition of basic geometric forms and the combination of primary colors. In this sense, his proposal also revolves around the inseparability between audience, site and art, or, subject-object-experience. Even when his works are not directly painted onto walls, Buren often makes use of translucent materials as a strategy to visually integrate the environment with the artwork, or vice versa.
The exhibition is composed of 25 situated works produced in Mexico and designed specifically for the gallery.
