Uncertain Zone: between art, science and architecture
A meeting between sculpture and anatomy on the limits of the human body in Palau-saverdera.
Galga Art gallery inaugurates Zona Incerta, an exhibition that proposes a dialogue between art and science. The show is the result of the collaboration between sculptor and architect Pep Admetlla (Girona, 1962) and neurosurgeon and professor of anatomy Joan San, who unite their disciplines to explore the limits of human knowledge through the body.
Zona Incerta starts from the body as a space of intersection, as a biological but also symbolic structure, capable of generating questions about our existence and condition. The exhibition presents a selection of works that includes anatomical models, sculptures, workbooks, annotated blackboards and models, which allow us to delve into the creative and conceptual process of these two authors. Pep Admetlla's "anatomical theaters" meet Joan San's neurocraniums and cranial studies, the result of years of clinical experience and independent research in the field of cranial engineering.
Admetlla combines sculptural practice with a deep knowledge of anatomy —an influence probably inherited from his family environment— and constructs forms that evoke the internal architectures of the body. Joan San, for his part, approaches the analysis of the skull from an anatomical, scientific and at the same time aesthetic perspective, approaching its complexity with an almost sculptural attitude.
Zona Incerta therefore invites us to reflect on the intersection between disciplines and to explore how the body can be, at the same time, a subject of study and an object of artistic representation.
