Entre El Día Y La Noche

Pace, London

★☆☆☆☆

On until 28 September 2024

If only they were smaller, Piñera Ballo’s paintings would be a great hit in the shopping centre gallery your ex-army uncle just opened in Surrey. He’s gambling with the family’s savings, you condescend, but so is Pace with their show. The market for “young” artists is crashing. Who in London, precisely, would buy 6-meter-wide Cuban beach souvenirs? Surrey, at least, knows its own taste.

When truth and artifice are so bluntly opposed, what use is aesthetics?

This project has no room for breath and even less for context.

A police procedural turns into a drinking game of Foucauldian power analysis.
