Call for a void #3 Painting

The Whispering Rooms - Alexandre Marreiros exhibition, Macau, China   This work puts together a series of records, moments that have been offered to me by the atypical circumstances that I have been experiencing during recent months. Those artworks arise from my wish to analyze spaces stripped of what is meaningful to them. In this case, the persons inhabiting those spaces and who turn them into spaces. These non-spaces occupied my observation, as a sea with no fishes and algae or a desert with no sand. This was my reading when I wandered around the empty city alone, as if the city were a hiding place where every space turned into an empty shelter. Where everyone became animals that hibernate and let the threatening time and their predators pass while they were sleeping, awaiting to being again. This is a basic ability and an essential need that I have – the one to register. To the record, the conceptuality, I would add an element no less important, and perhaps the truest way to put a certain record or object in a context: time. This element cannot be disassociated from registration or concept, and for this reason it is a component that inserts a work into the chronological context, which makes it contemporary, I mean, from its own Time. This way, the work that I developed for this exhibition meets this threefold that I consider to be fundamental: registering, conceptuality and time. The set of works that I present will be a possible representation of the weakened, isolated, permeable and visible idea in our eyes of the unoccupied spaces. A temporal record of the city where I live and which, like many others, was uninhabited, haunted by silence and emptiness. In this context of having the city as a laboratory, empty of what makes sense: people, it was important to understand this transmutation in which we are forced to live. In this series of works I used the mixed technique on paper. The total absence of figures in the space is one of the guiding lines to which this work proposes; to record what I have been observing during this year in Macao, to build an interrogative territory about what these empty spaces represent. This is how this exhibition was born, entitled: The Whispering rooms.
