Jose Dávila: Albers’ Works
2025 | Nichido Contemporary Art | Minato, JP
In his work Dávila embodies artistic and architectural elements appropriated and recontextualized from iconic artists throughout history, and by so doing he reflects on the definition of conceptual art namely that it is the content and not the form what gives importance and meaning to a work of art. Through his practice, Dávila investigates aspects such as space, volume, balance and materiality, which are all an example of physical force, creating works whose shape is in constant conversation with art history.
This exhibition presents a selection of works especially assembled for this occasion from Dávila’s series Homage to the Square, which was recently displayed at the Museum of Modern Art, Gunma from March 1 to April 6.
