Montaje gallinero comedor

Steva Terrades

27/03/74. (Sala 020)

Use of the frame as a means of expression with straight lines forming triangles or rectangles.

Some are painted, but most of them keep their natural colour. All the frames are suspended from the ceiling by strings, although some also rest on the floor on one side. This way a series of sets are formed. The threads also form their own geometric structures when they intersect.

Perhaps the most significant element of the exhibition is what Terrades calls “gallinero-comedor”, in Spanish (Henhouse – diner, in english): 4 wooden painted frames joined together like a table. In each of the upper angles a basin with confetti has been placed. Confetti has also been thrown across the floor.

Terrades defines his experience in the catalogue as a “transformation process of 3 6F frames, in the base element of the spatial tension; three frames by C’an Piera are found”. “The title corresponds to the confirmation of a fact: the purchase of 3 frames”.
