“FELIZ NO CUMPLEAÑOS”
LUA GANDARA,
LUCIA ASTUY
& JESUS ELOY
CURATED BY MARIA OTERO
May 21st–June 3rd, 2024
VLAB is pleased to present the new exhibition titled “FELIZ NO CUMPLEAÑOS” (“Happy unbirthday”) curated by María Otero featuring new works by Jesús Eloy, Lúa Gándara and Lucía Astuy that have never been shown before in an exhibition. “Happy Unbirthday” is a curious and fun way to celebrate every day, in reference to Alice in Wonderland, which invites us to enter a world where the absurd and the extraordinary are the rule.
The group exhibition intends to revisit this atmosphere of madness and creativity through the works of Jesús Eloy, Lúa Gándara and Lucía Astuy, three artists whose works reflect the playful and subversive spirit of contemporary art nowadays. Each of them brings a unique vision, creating a tapestry of visual narratives that defy conventional logic and celebrate an overflowing imagination.
”Happy unbirthday” is a celebration of art and imagination, a reminder that in chaos and madness we also find beauty and meaning. The exhibition invites the viewer to be driven by curiosity, to explore the unexpected, and to observe how to celebrate each day as an “unbirthday” full of wonder.
This exhibition not only intends to be a window into the imaginary worlds of Jesús Eloy, Lúa Gándara and Lucía Astuy, but also a space for reflection on creativity and the subversion of logic, inspiring each viewer to celebrate his or her own “unbirthday” with joy and wonder 364 days a year.
If today is your “unbirthday”, you have to celebrate it. The exhibition “Feliz no cumpleaños” will be on view at VLAB Madrid from May 21st to June 3rd, 2024.
