Bombon Projects

Bombon Projects is a contemporary art gallery that opened in Barcelona in February 2017. It was preceded for 5 years (2012 - 2017) by a project-space.

The gallery is interested in local and international artistic practices that reflect a contemporary social and emotional sensibility, as well as in the claim of artists from previous generations. This translates into the exhibition programme, where the work of young artists has been combined with historical figures. The programme includes exhibitions in the gallery space, off-site projects and fairs.

Represented artists:

Anna Dot, Mari Eastman, Joana Escoval, Eva Fàbregas, Enric Farrés Duran, Lara Fluxà, Josep Maynou, Jordi Mitjà, Pere Llobera, Aldo Urbano, Rosa Tharrats, Ludovica Carbotta

For this tenth edition of the Barcelona Gallery Weekend, we present 'Firefly', Lara Fluxà's (Palma de Mallorca, 1985; lives in Barcelona) first solo exhibition at the gallery. 'Firefly' is an electrified unit, an electric current to interrupt and approach to touch and submit the gesture. An open channel to sustain electricity. This exhibition is articulated as an electrified unit, an electric current that must be interrupted and approached to touch and submit the gesture.

Lara Fluxà works with fragile materials such as water, air, salt, tar, light or glass to reflect on the fragility of the balance of ecosystems. It speaks of the importance of care in contrast to the omnipresent development of extractive and exploitative activities. Her work invites us to rethink our relationships with the environment and to build new integrated and collaborative forms of existence. Through her practice, she questions our way of doing things and our response to the ecological crisis, returning the viewer to a position in which conscience and responsibility become inexcusable.
