DANICA PHELPS. FOUNDING+DatesInfo
Time is accumulating in ways that add up to the present even if we don’t remember the details of each or even most moments. Who we each are is built out with layers. Each one of them impossible without the last, and brings with it all of them defining who we are.
Children manifest more and more with each experience, until they figure out who they are for themselves.
Founding is about that period in the life of the artist’s child through a trip to Colorado’s Canyon. The drawings gather the way the artists see her son growing up, and the lines under each drawing keep record of the expenses of the trip: gas, camping, car rental… everything carefully traced.
If these lines have mostly been vertical in Danica’s work and constitute a very strong element along all her practice, here become horizontal, stablishing a visual parallelism with the geological strata visible in the formation of the landscape.
The work of Danica Phelps gathers conceptual precedents not only by taking in account economy as a main theme of her work but also in the own practice of the data capture, the exhaustiveness, and in the record of the facts, that have been a main feature of conceptual art.
The result is a huge personal diary, even if speaking of results is hard. First because the work is always in process, and second because the work in itself is almost not a work in itself but a tracing, a document of everyday life.

Camping
Sabemos del poder del arte por su capacidad para convocar y aglutinar a públicos diversos dispuestos a cuestionar sus valores, acciones, creencias y decisiones.
Sabemos también que los tiempos que corren demandan redefinir el valor del arte y la cultura pero que no seremos capaces de hacerlo sin crear entornos en los que sea posible compartir compromisos entre las personas interesadas.
Con la ambición de ser más relevantes, permeables y participativos hemos creado CAMPING, una iniciativa que abrirá el espacio de la galería NF/ NIEVES FERNANDEZ a diversos actores culturales, con el fin de que puedan desarrollar y exhibir sus proyectos y creaciones libremente. Tomando como soporte de sus acciones el espacio expositivo, los diversos actores desplegarán sus proyectos temporales interactuando con la exposición instalada en ese momento en la galería.
Con este proyecto, CAMPING ofrece un encuentro entre los creadores y el público quienes acamparán tomando la galería como un paisaje privilegiado en el que disfrutar de un periodo de reflexión y convivencia alejado de las estridencias del mundo exterior.
CAMPING es un proyecto de Nerea e Idoia Fernández, directoras de NF/NIEVES FERNANDEZ y de Blanca Cortés, abogada especializada en propiedad intelectual.
We know the power of art for its ability to convene and bring together diverse audiences willing to question their values, actions, beliefs and decisions.
We also know that current times demand to redefine the value of art and culture, but that we will not be able to do so without creating environments in which it is possible to share commitments among interested people.
With the ambition to be more relevant, permeable and participatory, we have created CAMPING, an initiative that will open the gallery space at NF/ NIEVES FERNANDEZ to various cultural actors, so that they can freely develop and exhibit their projects and creations. Taking the exhibition space as a support for their actions, the various actors will display their temporary projects interacting with the exhibition installed at that time in the gallery.

no place es una plataforma experimental para la exhibición de arte contemporáneo. Se trata de un proyecto impulsado en conjunto por cuatro galerías –Nueveochenta (Colombia), Arróniz (México), Michael Sturm (Alemania) y NF/NIEVES FERNÁNDEZ (España) – con la intención de generarle nuevas experiencias al público a partir de un modelo de producción alternativo.
Operando bajo un sistema colaborativo, en el que las herramientas, los equipos y los recursos de cada miembro están abiertos a los demás, no place supone un esfuerzo colectivo para producir y financiar eventos en los que el foco de atención recaiga completamente en el trabajo de los artistas. En este sentido, se trata de un experimento inédito, con el que las galerías buscan aportar a aquella transformación de la realidad establecida que suelen buscar todos los agentes vinculados al mundo del arte.
no place is an experimental platform for the exhibition of contemporary art. A project promoted jointly by four galleries, namely Nueveochenta (Colombia), Arróniz (Mexico), Michael Sturm (Germany) and NF/NIEVES FERNÁNDEZ (Spain), it aims to generate new experiences for the public via an alternative production model.
Operating under a collaborative system, so that the tools, the teams and resources of each member are available to others, no place is a collective effort to produce and finance events where the focus of attention rests completely on the artists’ work. In this sense, it is an unprecedented experiment, and one with which the galleries seek to contribute to the transformation of an established reality as typically sought by all agents linked to the art world.
