Wasting time or how to levitate

Drawings, a mural and a performative reflection on the concept of wasting time and levitation as an answer.


In the frame of the exhibition “Perder el tiempo y encima procurarse de un reloj para este proposito” at Can Felipa, the two curators Cláudia Eliés and Marc Mela hosted a mural of the Manifiesto de no hacer and a 2 hour experimental sesión to reflect on the concept of wasting time with the intention to levitate colectively. There is no proof left for the succes of this intention.

Perder el tiempo o cómo levitar

A series of drawings formed part of the experiment to levitate. A selection of them is on sale through the galery Cientomásuna by Luisa Ortinez.

With some exceptions the drawings are:

Size: 30 x 21, Medium: ink on fine arts paper of 120 gr
