Salón Comunal

Contact: Bernardo Montoya
Transversal 27.A #53b-25

Salón Comunal presents, or the return of Artbo in its face-to-face format, a proposal that emphasizes spatial sensitivity, the poetics of space, inhabiting a place and three-dimensional objects in relation to the stand. Iconic works by the teacher Edelmira Boller, from different periods of her career, will be presented; ceramic sculptures by the teacher Cecilia Ordoñez; paintings by Mateo Cohen, drawings by Beatriz Eugenia Díaz and painting, sculpture and jewelry by Bernardo Montoya. The stand will rotate for each day of the fair, offering the public a wide range of each of these artists. There are works that will hang from the ceiling, others will emerge from the serum, and from the walls, as an installation for a specific space, enhancing the confluences and tensions between the artists and their works.
