Eloïse Llanca Bolivar – La Llorona / Las chismosas / Cha Cha Gitano

by Eloïse Llanca Bolivar

"I heard the last coin drop into the coin slot of the pay phone, a sound like leaves, like the wind lifting dry leaves, a sound like cables twisting and untwisting, then unraveling into nothingness. Poetic misery. Do you remember that I wanted to tell you something and that in the end I didn't tell you? Her voice sounded perfectly normal. When? I heard myself say stupidly.

SLAP !

with Geoffrey Cottenceau, Gina Proenza

Whether it’s a parade, a particle accelerator or a dance ball, SLAP invites you to inhabit a space from a gravitational perspective. Positioned on the boundary between two and three dimensions, the works are subject to centrifugal laws and find themselves exchanging with one another to create fortuitous narratives, as if the continuous round of which they were a part of had suddenly come to a halt. The exhibition space becomes the site of a fundamentally social event - in terms of the works it hosts and the exhibition context - and reveals the social perspective that the works hold in rela- tion to each other. Like a boring chat with a friend of a friend, some pieces are overwhelmed by their conversations, while others lend themselves easily to them. You’ll have no hesitation in intercepting some of the phrases exchanged between the works, while having the opportunity to: reply/nego- tiate/argue with the social time-space that SLAP, as a real static meeting point, offers for an evening.
