may 2017 - 2019
Lara Fluxà, Palma de Mallorca, 1985
Lara Fluxà poses the action of measuring as a useless strategy to confront what is uncertain, since it limits the possibilities of perceiving what is analyzed beyond the result it offers. For this reason, it modifies and alters instruments and measurement processes, amplifying their possibilities and generating new results that have not been taken into account.
It works the perception of invisible from transparent materials such as water or glass, and others more phenomenological like air or light, for the resistance they offer to define their information, taking into account that their materiality is prior to their form.
Water, a common element in their work, implies a strong poetic, political and physical. With it he reflects on how his crystalline appearance masks ecological problems, the awareness of risk that awakens an element that is perceived pure and reliable and how, certain economic interests in its management, prevail over ecosystems and territories.
Graduated in Fine Arts by the University of Barcelona and Màster in Productions Artístiques i Recerca by the UB, she realizes different courses in blown glass in the National Glass Center, Segovia; In glass torch at the Center del Vidre, Barcelona; And Casting glass and glass paste in the School of Ceramics de la Bisbal.
