Imanol Marrodán  

Imanol Marrodán. Bilbao 1964, Basque Country. 

An interdisciplinary creator and researcher, he carries out, among other activities, critical work through various events related to art and contemporary thought as part of his personal creative project. 

The concept of limit, inspired by the idea of the ancient Roman "limes", quoted by the philosopher Eugenio Trias as a metaphor for a civilised and rationally controlled knowledge, is the starting point of a concept of limit that is not understood as the end of something, but as a means to a new "beginning" of renewal, growth and evolution. 

It is the process of forming an experience that shares a socio-political habitat in an industrial, materialistic, technological and artificial world, as opposed to a natural environment closely linked to the laws of the universe, which we hardly know, but which we still feel and sense. 

As a conclusion and main priority, Imanol Marrodán's creative project seeks to highlight and bring to light the different uses, utilities and practical applications of contemporary creation as one of the essential driving forces behind the future of a social, political and economic community, helping to determine, in a transversal manner, its changes and evolutions.

He has exhibited in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Korea, Argentina, Chile, Switzerland and the United States. His work has been shown in international contemporary art fairs such as ARCO, VALENCIA ART, ARTE SANTANDER and DFOTO (Spain), ART COLOGNE and KUNST KÖLN (Germany), KIAF (Seoul, Korea), ArteBA (Buenos Aires, Argentina), BALELATINA (Basel, Switzerland)...etc...

His work is widely represented in museums, public institutions and private collections.
