After so many painting projects throughout the years, I now have a huge collection of paint stained work clothes. Since I have been doing many recently I came up with a new idea.

As an experiment, I started the “Ropa de Trabajo” project to create another interactive experience. It seemed incredible to me how quickly my clothes were covered in paint. I realized it could be another way to create something that evolves on it’s own without controlling the final result. As in many of my projects during the past few years, I found it interesting the delegation of the role of the artist as spectator in the creation of his own artwork.

I started the “Ropa de Trabajo” project during the exhibition “Murals” at the Fundacion Miro, in Barcelona from February 10th to the 18th of this year. This is the first “R.D.T.”experiment I have done, I’ll start the next one in Mexico tomorrow…

 

I had the pleasure to work for the second time with Martin Lejarraga, a very interesting architect from Cartagena. His studio was working on the creation of an “Art Collector’s Caravan” and he invited me to paint over it.

If you happen to be in Madrid this week end, the caravan will be exhibited at the Region Murcia stand at ARCO International Contemporary Art Fair.
