David Lamelas: Fiction of a Production

Fiction of a Production, focuses on sculptures and site-specific works that analyze and deconstruct architectural space, repositioning sculpture as a relationship between place, space, and time. Featuring early sculptures presented in Buenos Aires during the 1960s and reconstructions of works that respond to the architecture of our Zaha Hadid-designed museum, the exhibition also explores the ways in which the sequential structure of film has influenced the artist's practice and how time, consequently, becomes sculptural material. The show takes its title from an essay by Lamelas's artist friend Raúl Escari, who writes that, unlike artworks that try to disguise how they are made, maintaining an illusion that exceeds their materials, Lamelas's work reveals the activity of their making, the fiction of their production.
