During these festivities, we consider that the exhibition ‘Interruptions: suspended time’, whose enclave resides in the Almudí palace, is an essential stop to enjoy contemporary art in Murcia.
Our artists Sergio Porlán, Javier Pividal and Ana Martínez participate in it, and it is curated by the curatorial group 1erEscalón.
This exhibition displays a reflection carried out by the artists and curators on the parenthesis in the time we are currently living due to the pandemic, using art as a tool through different personal approaches in which the vision is palpable. of the suspended time of each one of them, their speeches and their way of facing contemporary reality.
Time is always moving forward, inexorably. The minutes pass and the calendar advances. But there are times when we feel that the days are getting thicker, that the hours are getting longer, that the past has not just gone away or that the future is taking too long to arrive. We call this affective experience of time “temporality.” A temporality that these days is transforming. The pandemic has suspended the future and we have been stranded in history, in a strange and uncomfortable present that we do not know when it will end. Today we feel that time has slowed down. And the interruption has paralyzed us and made the present meaningless.

During these holidays, we consider that the exhibition ‘Interruptions. Time suspended ‘, whose enclave resides in the Almudí Palace, is an essential stop to enjoy contemporary art in Murcia.
Our artists Sergio Porlán, Javier Pividal and Ana Martínez take part in it, and it is curated by the curatorial group 1erEscalón.
This exhibition displays a reflection carried out by the artists and curators on the parenthesis in the time we are currently living due to the pandemic, using art as a tool through different personal approaches in which the vision is palpable of the suspended time of each one of them, their speeches and their way of facing contemporary reality.
Time is always moving forward, inexorably. The minutes pass and the calendar advances. But there are times when we feel that the days are thickening, that the hours are lengthening, that the past does not quite leave or that the future takes too long to arrive. We call this affective experience of time “temporality.” A temporality that these days is transforming. The pandemic has suspended the future and we have been stranded in history, in a strange and uncomfortable present that we don’t know when it will end.
