La galería Pilar Parra & Romero inaugura un espacio dedicado a jóvenes artistas con un proyecto de Amaya González Reyes, titulado Yo Gasto(2008).
Yo gasto,tú gastas, él gasta, ella gasta, nosotros/as gastamos, vosotras/os gastáis, ellos/as gastan. De los céntimos inapreciables al total calculado que a veces no llega a fin de mes.
Amaya González los emplea como material de trabajo, rescatándolos de la vida que los desgasta, vuelve a ponerlos en circulación, sin plusvalía y con un valor añadido, el artístico. Cuadros blancos, ordenados, etiquetados y firmados, de tickets transferidos a mano, que a través de una maniobra artística recobran su valor y tramitan recuperar el importe que cada uno indica.
Objetos plastificados listos para consumir, artículos canjeables que se ofrecen al mercado del arte como una propuesta crítica para la relación compra venta.
Pilar Parra & Romero gallery is pleased to open a new space for young artists “THE BACK ROOM” with the exhibition “Yo Gasto” (I spend) by Amaya Gonzalez Reyes.
I spend, you spend, he spends, she spends, we spend, they spend. From the unwanted cents to the budget that doesn’t reach the end of the month.
Amaya Gonzalez Reyes uses them as working material, rescuing them from their worn out lives. She puts them into circulation with a new artistic value. She proposes a reflection with an unusual commercial strategy. White, labelled and signed canvas transferred from shopping tickets though an artistic manoeuvre, they regain their value and try to recover the price stated. Amaya Gonzalez collects every ticket from her expenses. For half a year, from October 15th to March 26th she keeps records for every purchased item.
Laminated objects ready to use, exchangeable items offered to the art market as a critic proposal for buying and selling.
To value the daily life of a young artist is the starting point for designing a personal space based on our expenses moving forward to the intimacy that debates between our autonomy and the mortgage..
