Performance 21 November
 

The work of Clara Moreno Cela (1993, Madrid) is a constant conversation between drawing, poetry, illustration and performance.
"Tell Teresa to go down to the park" is an exhibition that couldn't be at any other time, and that looks at the body from the inside, greets it with stories and games of proportions in a trashy mixture of traditional literature.


It is made up of a series of incipient baby-sized drawings, soft devices that aspire to narrate a story with images made of tulle. There is a shopping trolley that is pushed - not dragged - which children and old ladies lean out of on the street to see and greet a baby that turns out to be a leek, a bag of crochets, a loaf of bread. And on Sunday we are waiting for you for a performative vermouth closing celebration.

Clara Moreno Cela (Chamberí, 1993) is an artist, singer, and the daughter of a librarian. When one thing is going well, she changes name and begins a new project. She wants to stay with Teresa but she doesn't know if she will go down. Clara waits for her in the park and she cannot stop drawing. Clara paints, draws, and makes comics. She reads a lot, all the while. And she narrates it and she sings.

You created the vegetable baby, now it withstands. Breast and vegetables. 

All of the drawings are made with colored markers. Fewer of the uncolored drawings are made with calibrations. Clara has told us that “calibrated” is the professional way to call the Pilot colored markers.

In this exposition it is perhaps important to know that Clara is going to be other. How? Yes, like that, without m. “The other is on purpose, now a lot is said to omit p o m (mola!)”

These drawings could illustrate classic stories, but no. Because they illustrate stories that we cannot yet read. Those that Clara is going to publish with free Children.

The ingredients for a broth well deserve a drawing.

Returning to the purchase a young girl asks Clara if she can see the baby, pointing to the cart. Sorry, there are only leeks.

Strange and childish drawings. Because that which is childish and not strange is not childish. Altered scales for altered consciousness.

The Corte Inglés bag is home, it is class. What a rare thing children are. Children I can’t even tell you. Childishness does not need to be cheesy, or at least not as cheesy. A little less control and a little more intuition.

An old photo reel. Jaime takes Clara in his arms. It seems to be slipping away, but that was not the day that he fell. The colorless drawings are something duller, but we like them a lot. They are very well drawn, a fine thing. Another style. Holding on to life like a dirty toy.

Day by day fantasy. Birthday. Fall festival. Mölkky, lights, half-inflated balloons.

I do not scold you if you do not scold me. What makes you do is not savoir-faire, it is intuition.

The soft robot was the hero of the rock opera. It was the door of the discotheque, but it was released. Jorge Núñez of the Alien Visitation gave movement, with his head inside a silver cloth bag, it appears as if he is drowning. Silk condoms, the bag of bread.

Silk condoms, paper trash to recycle.
