BLANKETS 2
Oviedo - Spain, 2024
“Blankets 2” is a massive installation that unfolds over an area of 6,000 square meters, intervening the old arms factory in Oviedo.
This artistic intervention is composed of hundreds of salvage blankets, forming a sea of gold and silver with an ever-changing appearance. The work is activated by the wind currents that flow through the space, creating undulating patterns and solemn sound fields in a continuous choreographic cycle. This interaction turns the installation into a living entity, in constant evolutionary motion.
The gold and silver surface of the blankets reflects the sunlight at different times of the day, generating subtle effects that bathe both the space and the visitors as they walk through the installation. A sound texture subtly emerges with the continuous movement of the blankets, imperceptibly revealing itself and creating a whispering and enveloping acoustic landscape.
In this kinetic installation by SpY, the objects transcend their merely aesthetic function by incorporating four fundamental factors: the formal element, which establishes the aesthetic, symbolic and conceptual base; the audience, who is invited to navigate the work from various perspectives, actively participating in the experience; the movement, which infuses life into the installation by creating a constant kinetic cycle; and time, understood as a simultaneous experience in the present, revealing new facets of the piece at each moment.
With a dynamic and minimalist approach, SpY redefines space, inviting visitors to reconsider their perception of place and movement, in a setting that encourages reflection, interaction and active contemplation.
BLANKETS 2
Oviedo - Spain, 2024
"Blankets 2" es una instalación masiva que se despliega sobre una superficie de 6.000 metros cuadrados, interviniendo la antigua fábrica de armas de Oviedo.
Esta intervención artística está compuesta por cientos de mantas de salvamento, formando un mar de oro y plata de apariencia siempre cambiante. La obra se activa mediante las corrientes de viento que atraviesan el espacio, creando patrones ondulatorios y solemnes campos sonoros en un ciclo coreográfico continuo. Esta interacción convierte la instalación en una entidad viva, en constante movimiento evolutivo.
La superficie dorada y plateada de las mantas refleja la luz solar a distintas horas del día, generando sutiles efectos que bañan tanto el espacio como a los visitantes mientras recorren la instalación. Una textura sonora emerge de manera sutil con el movimiento continuo de las mantas, revelándose imperceptiblemente y creando un paisaje acústico susurrante y envolvente.
En esta instalación cinética de SpY, los objetos trascienden su función meramente estética al incorporar cuatro factores fundamentales: el elemento formal, que establece la base estética, simbólica y conceptual; el público, que es invitado a navegar por la obra desde diversas perspectivas, participando activamente en la experiencia; el movimiento, que infunde vida a la instalación creando un ciclo cinético constante; y el tiempo, entendido como una experiencia simultánea en el presente, revelando nuevas facetas de la pieza en cada momento.
Con un enfoque dinámico y minimalista, SpY redefine el espacio, invitando a los visitantes a reconsiderar su percepción del lugar y el movimiento, en un escenario que fomenta la reflexión, la interacción y la contemplación activa.
