Exit

Madrid From November 30, 2018 to February 28, 2019

Presentation

Exit is a series and a book which was the subject of three exhibitions, at the Alliance Française de Madrid, at the Anthropological Museum of Madrid and at Gazzambo. Gallery in 2018 and 2019. Balanced between paintings and sculptures, the Exit series is a pictorial and imaginary story of the migrant's journey, his exile and his eventual success. The sculptures were created around a workshop at the Anthropological Museum of Madrid, with the collaboration of Senegalese immigrants from Madrid. Mame Mbaye (one of the participants in this workshop), a street vendor, died of a heart attack when he was chased by the police through the streets of Madrid. This dramatic event provoked a popular revolt in the Lavapies district. Wanting to pay homage to Mame Mbaye, the series refers to the collection of plaster molds of indigenous faces exhibited at the anthropological museum.

This confrontation contrasts with the formal evocations of sculpture in the social sciences, traditional ceramic sculpture, the death mask, orientalist arts or even the trophy. The impact caused by this mixture of contradictory effects attempts to reflect the paradoxes of Europe with the reception given to refugees. Without the rigor that characterizes the approach of the anthropologist or scientist, but by imitating his processes, the intention is to sketch a subjective sample of the new human figures living in Europe.
