A MONUMENTAL LIGHT SCULPTURE FOR THE WELLBEING SUMMIT
Curated by Manuel Bagorro, on view June 1st – August 30th, 2022
Arriquíbar Plaza, 4, 48010 Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain
Hello Everyone!
On June 1st, 2022, we’re launching SCIENTIA, my latest project in Bilbao, Spain, for the Wellbeing Summit.
The Wellbeing Summit for Social Change will take place from June 1st to June 3rd, 2022. The Summit is a unique opportunity to connect and discuss social change, government, arts, and business leaders working at the intersection of social change and inner wellbeing.
SCIENTIA is a Latin word meaning knowledge, experience, and expertise. It implies a socially interactive activity; the seeking and sharing of knowledge. This monumental sculpture will explore the human connection using our understanding of the world—fire, water, earth, and light. Through this primordial immersion, SCIENTIA provides a means of accessing our emotional selves that nurtures wellbeing and promotes community engagement.
All my best,
Grimanesa

CETHA
Civita di Bagnoregio
Palazzo Colesanti, Viterbo, Italy |
The sun is an important star and has been for centuries. During my stay in Civita di Bagnoregio, I woke up early one morning and decided to explore my new surroundings. During my stroll, I was dazzled at the strength of the sun beaming on the square. It got me thinking about the town of Civita, it’s history, and it’s relation to the sun. I began researching about The Etruscan’s, who were an ancient people that founded the city, and the remnants of their civilization still linger. The name of this piece is CETHA, which was inspired by the town and its past, translating to sun in Etruscan. CETHA has red lighting with pink hues in its sequence, which represents the sunrise that burns red in the morning and streams its light throughout the town. |
