Espacio de Arte Contemporáneao (EAC) is the Uruguayan state institution responsible for encouraging the production and dissemination of art works produced locally and internationally. This exhibition and the one due to be staged next year with Sara Ramo will be part of its programme devised in connection with the events hosted by Montevideo as Ibero-American Capital of Culture.
Contemporary art brings together very diverse current practices and, through its languages, highlights the problems of social and cultural dynamics, addressing our intellectual and sensory needs with a broad variety of strategies ranging from conceptual to object- and performance-based.
It is of paramount importance to the EAC to be able to host the first exhibition of the Spanish artist Daniel Canogar. The presence of artists of his stature helps consolidate Montevideo as a prominent cultural attraction connected with the most contemporary and innovative artistic activity, and also promotes local knowledge of a Spanish artist who is becoming increasingly important on the international scene. This artist has exhibited his work in major art venues and cities all over the world. He revitalises and reuses obsolete objects and technologies to create spatial installations and audio-visual pieces with a striking impact and in which light and cutting-edge technology play a prominent role.
