Àngels Ribé "3 punts (2)", 1972

ÀNGELS RIBÉ

12/07/2011 - 26/09/2011 MACBA

The exhibition of the artist Àngels Ribé (1943) centres on works created mainly in the 1970s, years in which she lived in Paris and the United States. It also includes works from the late 1960s which are characterised by being interactive and able to be handled. Ribé worked around the phenomena of nature and its traces, often experimenting with the use and manipulation of such materials as water, soap, light, methacrylate and polyester resin. She also created performances, which have been documented photographically. The sculptural and volumetric component has always been present in her work, even when the pieces are dematerialised. The exhibition also presents a selection of unpublished drawings made in the early 1980s that show the loss or wear of paint in a way that the stroke is repeated.
