ALTTRA, founded by Rosario Nadal, Blanca Cortés and Bartomeu Marí, will open next Friday, November 15, an exhibition by Cildo Meireles that experiments with the conjunction between artwork and urban fabric, heritage, history and contemporary creation in Mallorca.

The works of the Brazilian artist will be installed at the headquarters of the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de les Illes Balears, the Estudi General Lul·lià and Espai Buit in the exhibition that closes ALTTRA's calendar of activities for 2024 and that will open with a tour with the artist that will begin on Friday, November 15 at 7:00 p.m. at the COAIB, continue at the Estudi General Lul·lià and culminate at Espai Buit.

Meireles' exhibition shows, through four works from different periods, some of the major themes that the artist has cultivated throughout his career: chance and instruments of calculation, sound as a source of aesthetic experience, the visualization of mental activities or the contrasts between value and vision, between space and object, between perceiving and thinking.

The work of the Brazilian artist, who investigates the boundaries between materials and the expansion of artistic genres, has been characterized by a constant expansion of the materials and grammars of art, actively appealing to the senses that, like touch, taste or smell, have been disdained by an art history that keeps the eye at the pinnacle of attention. Identified with the most experimental currents of contemporary art, she has been a pioneer, since the late 1960s, in actively involving the viewer in the existence of her works.

In addition to the exhibition, which can be visited until January 11, 2025, during the month of October ALTTRA held the workshop The Cholesterol Route, with the artist Antoni Miralda, in Sa Pobla and the Self-Composition Workshop, directed by Abraham Cruzvillegas, at Centre Flassaders with the support of the Thomas and Doris Ammann Foundation, Zurich. In May, Marta Jonville and Tomas Matauko promoted the first workshop of the year, Land Policy Workshops: Insularities.
