Please Call If Anything's Unclear : Pablo Dávila

Press release
The exhibition encompasses a series of pivotal questions throughout his work which emerge in a group of sculptures and paintings as well as a collaborative sound piece entitled BLAST with Los Angeles based composer Giovanni Piacentini to be performed live during the exhibition.

 

The starting point of Mexico City based multidisciplinary artist Pablo Dávila is how traditional media reflect the social constructions of time and space. Fueled by science, music, poetry, cognitive sciences and physics, Dávila explores the volatile nature of time and historical interpretations. His practice, which holds multiple media such as video, site-specific installation, photography, conceptual painting, questions the gap between sensory perception and cognitive understanding.

 

In his second solo exhibition Please Call If Anything's Unclear, encompassing a new series of sculptures and paintings, Pablo Dávila collocates the multiple relationships that humanity has, both individually and collectively, across various contexts and time.

 

Through an exploration into different scientific ideas and artistic mediums, these groups of works allow the idea that we live in a constant growing palimpsest to emerge and become the driving tension in this exhibition.

 

How does a self arise out of things that have no selves?

How can someone’s actions, ideas and judgements from a thousand years or 2 minutes ago, alter our reality or our ways of perceiving the world?
