The Meaning of Things
For his fourth exhibition in ProjecteSD, Mullican presents his new work The Meaning of Things, an installation of more than 600 collages on paper that the artist has developed over the last five years. Through a file of digital images of movies, video games, sports and multiple situations of violence, sex and empathy that the artist has been gathering in an intuitive and automatic way, he builds a repertoire where his encyclopedic, visual and graphic universe unfolds inexhaustibly. Through this work, Mullican introduces models of understanding reality, the individual, his life and death and the mediated perspectives with which we understand all things. “It is not the world that you see is the world that I see representing the world you see.” Mullican questions the representation from a philosophical and metaphysical point of view. Mullican questions the representation from a philosophical and metaphysical point of view. The world then becomes a map of
signs and meanings that make us reflect on the different mechanisms of knowledge through the image.
Along with the exhibition in ProjecteSD and within the Barcelona Gallery Weekend program, Mullican will present the performance That Person Will Be Talking at Nivell Zero of the Fundació Suñol, Saturday October 3 at 18:30 h.
