luis renteria
Un puñal en un pañuelo
This exhibition explores how art, magic, and memory can function as shields against systemic precarity and uncertainty. Luis Renteria draws on elements of fiction and pre-Hispanic legacy to develop an artistic language forged between Mexico and Spain. Through personal stories and everyday rituals, the artist uses textile to weave diverse histories of art and resistance, gesturing toward the enduring wounds of the past. His woven sculptures reveal how the invisible, the intimate, and the symbolic can become powerful tools of resilience. The title of the exhibition, translated to A Dagger in a Handkerchief, suggests that the dagger is not a symbol of danger, but of protection; not of fear, but of courage. This duality lies in the juxtaposition between soft, warm fabric and hard, cold metal, showing the interconnectedness between humans, materials, and the natural world: a planetary tapestry threaded with ancestral memory and imagined futures still waiting to unfold.

ABout the gallery
We are a project space for young artists, fostering a vibrant and inclusive community where diverse voices thrive. By amplifying their perspectives and showcasing their work, we aim to challenge stereotypes, celebrate diversity, and promote empathy. Our represented artists explore themes of identity, belonging, displacement and cultural exchange, offering fresh insights into the complexities of otherness, a concept central to our mission.
We collaborate passionately with artists who defy traditional boundaries, working across disciplines such as ceramics, textiles, video art, installation, painting, and sculpture. Our space on Trafalgar Street in Barcelona serves as a hub where pluralism and respect for materials enable our artists to experiment with new formats and techniques.
Our exhibition programme reflects our commitment to an open and inclusive art ecosystem, creating a dynamic dialogue between materials and identity. Each exhibition invites visitors to engage with the artworks, fostering reflection and deeper connections. By highlighting diverse approaches, we seek to challenge conventional ideas of art and broaden the understanding of identity in today’s world. We invite everyone to visit our exhibitions and participate in this ongoing dialogue, where each piece is an invitation to discover new ways of seeing and understanding the world around us.
