SEPTIEMBRE
CCA's Archive
Curated by Nahir Fuente
21st Sept - 5th October
In this collective context, ‘Septiembre’ becomes a crossroads that intertwines over twenty artists and a legacy of two decades of artist residencies at CCA Andratx. The exhibition amplifies the voices and visions of artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines who have found common ground for dialogue between their work and the cultural and historical landscape of the island. The exhibition is organised in two main spaces that maintain a constant dialogue: Gallery II and Espai.
CCA Andratx’s archive is a constantly evolving organism. In Gallery II, the selected pieces are not only witnesses of a past time, but fragments of an archive that continues to expand. The selection of works spans an extensive timeline, from artists such as Malene Landgreen, resident in 2002, and Juan Tesi, in 2003, to the recent marés sculptures of Stefan Rinck, who, after several residencies, has returned to the centre in 2024.
This curatorial journey proposes a balance between national and international artists, guaranteeing parity in terms of gender and provenance. It celebrates the creative diversity of CCA since its beginnings, consolidating cultural exchange as a constant. In addition, ‘Septiembre’ underlines the centre’s commitment to sustainability and local production by not relying on the importation of works from abroad.
‘Septiembre’ also encapsulates the temporality inherent in the process of creation. In the central space of the room, the uncertain and fascinating instant that precedes the final result is revealed. Recent creations by artists in residence, such as Rosell Meseguer and Nadira Husain, invite us to enter into the creative process, where inspiration and uncertainty coexist. CCA Andratx thus stands as a laboratory of ideas, where the artist’s vision and the local context become a source of possibilities.
In its essence, ‘Septiembre’ is an invitation to remember memory and enjoy creation, defining art as a space of continuous transformation. It is a convergence of moments, visions and places, where the local and the international, the ephemeral and the lasting, the individual and the collective, intertwine, tracing new paths for art in Mallorca.
