Elena Asins and Esther Ferrer belong to that landscape of transgression of the artistic behaviors that crystallized in Spain from the second half of the sixties until the end of the seventies. An anxious time of liberties in which the practice of art was understood as a space of questioning and inquiry, in which a new sensibility emerged and which supposed a rupture with respect to traditional languages.

Pioneer in feminist art and performance, Esther Ferrer’s work deconstructs binary stereotypes of gender and showcases the female body as a commodity in a society of consumerism. Her practice recovers a silenced history of vanguard and constructs one of the most firm critical manifestations against the modern visual canon. Her work investigates the sublime and unbated logical thought, math and abstract geometry. The geometry of Elena Asins surpasses her own generative rules in order to offer a perspective that is at once cosmogonist and deeply personal. (I. 10017 Nueva Cervantes press-release)
