Subplotters

"Whispers, dead languages, traces, plots -or subplots-, reminiscences of inert matter. Subplotters reveals a desire to create new imaginaries out of the occult, exploring its affective, narrative and communicative strategies. If contemporary reality were an unshakable fortress, governed by homogeneous and rigid discourses and narratives, the artistic practices present in Subplotters seek to find cavities in the stone or holes in its moat in which to rethink the stories of contemporaneity. Narratives found underground, buried under the foundations of the world, secrets that snake through the bodies of the present or future legends yet to be written" Jorge Van den Eynde

Jorge Van den Eynde - Curator of the exhibition

Jorge Van den Eynde (Madrid, 1995) is a curator and editor. His practice seeks to mobilise narratives and fictions that question binary links such as magic and science, the body and technology or the human and the non-human. In 2020 he completed an MA in curating at Goldsmiths University of London. Recently, he has curated the cycle Meandro Merodeo (Nadie Nunca Nada No, 2022), which speculates on possible mutations of the exhibition space, and La flecha que mata el tiempo (ABM Confecciones, 2022). As an editor, Jorge was invited to edit the March 2022 issue of A*Desk and is currently working on the next issue of Concreta (Spring, 2023), which will focus on fantasy and contemporary art. During his career, he has worked and collaborated with institutions and organisations such as La Casa Encendida, Festival FLORA, La Fábrica, EXIT, The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Estudio Larsen and the Patronato de la Alhambra, among others. He has also published in magazines such as Concreta, exit-express.com, A*Desk and Mercurius Magazine.

Álvaro Chior
(A Coruña, 1992) He is an artist who works and lives in Madrid.
