Ángel Vergara

– Casa wabi 2022

Community Project

The community project consisted of a textile mural created using work clothes worn by construction workers in the area. Vergara, adopting the persona of Callejero, attended various construction sites near the Foundation. Through a performance, Callejero painted on the canvas with a covered head, leaving a trace of the emotions generated by their perception of sounds, environment, and interactions happening around them. The canvas was then displayed in a public space, and the construction workers also participated in the project.

His body of work contains a wide range of media and disciplines, including performances, drawings, paintings, videos and installations, he create too public and collectifs situations like cafés, banks, shops, audiovisual material plays an important role in the majority of Vergara’s exhibitions, as well as making up a substantial part of his work. The material deals with performance recordings, parts of video and other installations, and autonomous film and video work. A continuous cross-fertilisation between art and life is a major constant, with additional focus on the particularity of the artist’s position into society.
