For the sculptor Pep Canyelles (Palma, 1949) this is his third exhibition this year, although the only one held in Mallorca and individually. Along with four artists and friends of his generation (Gerard Matas, Angel San Martin, Vincente Torres and photographer Joan Ramon Bonet) he created the project Sediments, which has already been exposed in the Centro Conde Duque in Madrid and the Museum of Menorca (Mahon) and will open at es Roser October 25 in Ciutadella.
His second collective was Ments sospitoses i territori vigilat, which he has shared with his great friend Esther Olondriz this summer in the exhibition hall of Sant Francesc Xavier in Formentera.
Now he presents Occupied territory, where he shows part of the works done in the last three years. A short period of time which has meant for Pep Canyelles to break ties with the past and start new ways of creating using unexplored languages until now such as video and photography. The link between them is the passage of time as a reference, as a turning point. To Canyelles, "Occupied territory is to watch and approach with tenderness and lucidity the child we were and we never will be again”.
