Parpella

Parpella deals with the body in movement as a spatial construction in transit based on the moment of dancing in the dark with other bodies that are broken and recomposed by lights, brightness, smoke and rhythm. She uses copying, transformation and editing to suspend the original attributes associated with the body, stretching like a membrane the liminal space between it and a post-industrial landscape and architecture, speculating on an accumulated, artificial, cryptic and sensual nature.

Marta van Tartwijk (Barcelona, 1990) has a Degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid, completing her training at the École européenne supérieure d’art de Bretagne (France), at the University of Barcelona and at A*Desk. She has exhibited and developed her work in various institutions, such as Fabra i Coats, INJUVE, Sala de Arte Joven, TEA Tenerife, BilbaoArte, DosMares, Tabakalera and Matadero. Her practice explores how images can access personal experience, acting as a pivot that articulates times, contexts and subjective experiences, experimenting with body and language.
