Julia Spínola (Madrid, 1979) develops her practice across the fields of sculpture and drawing. In her works, the continuous references to text and to performance give rise to systems of correspondences that operate as approximations to a single theme based on the relations set in place between figures, objects and movements. If it were viewed as a form of writing, her work would lack any underlying grammar, challenging language and generating a sense of overflow. Spínola’s work brings to mind a brand of calligraphy in which the sentient and the mental are inseparable, and whose processes involve applying rules and rhythms to the body’s basic movements and routines.
