Descripción de la Exposición

Cristina Lucas belongs to that generation of artists whose multifaceted practice employs a particular medium to suit the specific needs of each work. Her preferred techniques are photography and video, but she also makes frequent use of drawing, sculpture, painting and performance. Her work is always the outcome of meticulous historic and scientific research; sometimes the information she gathers develop into an authentic database that constitutes the work itself, as is the case with the installation Elemental Order (2016), on display in this exhibition. For several years Cristina Lucas considers the influence of the capitalist system on our relationships with the world and with others. She investigates several aspects of this broad thematic field, including a reflection on a central notion of capitalism: the surplus value. Her exhibition Trading Transcendence at Mudam features in particular the video installation Philosophical Capitalism (2014-16), a series of portraits which questions the appropriation of ethical values ... and philosophical concepts by the capitalist ideology. Lucas wanted to round out the work she had already started in Spain by adding five new interviews with members of the Luxemburgish civil society. In partnership with Mudam Luxembourg, Lucas has also produced three new works for this exhibition. These round off her portrait of capitalism, on which she has concentrated for the past few years, by approaching new themes, such as the attribution of market values to all elements in the material world (Elemental Order, 2016) and the importance of the symbolism of colours in the creation of corporate logos (Monochromes, 2016). Lastly, the installation Clockwise (2016) highlights the rationalisation of a concept like time that has been spatialised and standardised in order to become an integral factor in the successful functioning of the globalised trading system. As a complement to the exhibition, two videos by the artist - Touch and Go (2010) and Surplus Value (2014) - will be screened in the auditorium. The first underline the human and material consequences of globalisation, while the second takes a more humoristic and ironic look at the absurdity of speculation on the world's stock markets. Cristina Lucas was born in 1973 in Jaén (Spain). She lives and works in Madrid.
