‘They Are These Or They May Be Others’

The gallery L21 participates in this year's 6pm Your Local Time, an exhibition of contemporary art distributed among art centers, galleries and artists' studios in different European cities. The exhibition will take place on July 22 from 18:00 hours, local time for each city.

The event is an initiative by Link Art Center - which has enjoyed the cooperation of Abandon Normal Devices (AND) and Gummy Industries - and aims to break the limitations of exhibition spaces. To do so it establishes a connection between art shown in the exhibition and its dissemination as documentation on social networks, blogs and Internet platforms.

The commissioner of 6pm Your Local Time, Pau Waelder invites the artist Cristina Garrido to present a new version of These Are They Or They May Be Others, an exploration of the elements that form contemporary art installations in a series of 21 photographs presented as memes (theoretical unit of cultural information transmitted from one individual to another).

In the space The Envelope of L21, Garrido's work is replaced by a projection of the same image, which the artist controls from her studio. The installation is completed with an action in real time through the web, in addition to the viral spread of the entire series of photographs, which are posted on social networking sites and websites of contemporary art.

L21 invites to participate in this event in different ways: by attending the presentation, following the Tumblr posts http://goo.gl/mNVLV6, or downloading the images posted on the web http://goo.gl/Ljk5gs and disseminating them on their profiles of social networks or blogs.
