For two weeks between 14th-27th November 2011, The Gallery Soho will be transformed into a dynamic environment for things to happen.

A series of programmed and non-programmed events will take place in the space, from poetry to round tables, projections, performance, fashion or installation art.

The place is conceived for surprise and spontaneity, action and narration. Everything could occur in a space which is not just a container but an active player itself.

The space will be open daily from 12pm until late.

When: Mon, 14/11/2011 – Sun, 27/11/2011
Event Times: 12pm until late
Venue: Spain NOW! Pop Up Space @ The Gallery Soho
Venue Details: 121-125 Charing Cross Road, WC2H 0EW

Here you can find the programme of events we have prepared for these two weeks:

Space Bending |Curated by Pablo A. Padilla Jargstorf

That morning the sky was clear and sunny. The north wind was crossing the meadows, moving gently the smell of the frost. The silence, resounding. Just the tweet of a lark from the distance. Three hours later, forty-seven thousand corpses were spread all over the battle field.

Space is what happens.

Perception is the concoction of our physical stimuli and our psychological background. But space is what is going to happen as well. The potential scene of any event. And he final experience is the conjunction of our physical approach, the simultaneousness of past-present-future presences of the environment, and the projection of our own memories over the scene.

Considering all these premises, space emerges as a tool itself. By disfiguring our physical environment a new sensory scene appears. A process of creation through distortion.

This exhibition -consisting of three installations- is a journey where physical and psychological distortion collide, creating a new territory to explore.

Installations -First Floor

{3pm} Serrano Brothers

3 seconds captured for 30 days at 3pm

Same heartbeat for life, dramatic ephemeral sensations, external inputs, introspective view. In {3pm} space is what remains, an ephemeral, anonymous and relevant moment building our own deepest cognitive conscience through the privilege of isolation.

Experience: Maybe inspiration is just to apply a mutation of the information that come to us from events in a continuous line of time. So what if we try to catch only certain moments in discontinuous lapses? In {3pm} experiment we’ve tested it, and the result is an experience of introspective view about feelings and thoughts that came to our minds during the observation of these pieces of daily life, the bombing that pushed us to create this immersive installation.

{3pm} is not a space, it’s just a necessary interlude. Inside a small isolation cage, in a luminous red box isle in the middle of a continuous datascape, we find a precise break of continuity.

The Eternal Advent – Part II by Pablo A. Padilla Jargstorf

Mystical experiences are one of the most intense ways of space-time distortion. Hope, faith, visions and ecstasy. Transcendent events in the border of consciousness that launch an undefined and blurry landscape to cross.

This immersive installation dives into a never-ending ascension. Sitting in the waiting room, we begin a journey through a visual and sound experience. A psycho-acoustical travel through constant rising. Space limits disappear during our wait, our eternal wait. Meanwhile, our mind keeps looking for a culmination that never comes.

Installation Second Floor

The Blinking Room Pablo A. Padilla Jargstorf

Every space is the frame of a potential situation. A crime and a birth; a rape and an armistice; a drug deal and the beginning of love. Everything could happen, everything has happened in every single room.

In this installation we move inside a quick sequence of different scenes. We witness a fast progression of lights and soundscapes that define specific situations. A succession of instants, moments and happenings that actually occurred. Space as the stage of life.
