ADN Galeria

Founded as a hybrid platform between commercial mediation and cultural contribution, ADN Galeria promotes and supports current artistic ideas and trends. The program focuses on content-based productions that work as a semantic reflection of the contextual dynamics in which they emerge. Transcending our role in the market, we commit to the artists to build international networks of appreciation and to make possible a strong backing for their careers, thanks to an active policy of media coverage, on-line communication and participation at art fairs. Our policy of collaborative work with intellectuals and professionals of the artworld allows us to improve our program and the promotion of current practices in the field of visual arts. We contribute to create and give support to new collectors through professional and in-depth counseling.

Joan Pallé, visual artist and co-founder and co-director of the independent space Malpaís, located in Barcelona’s Zona Franca district, presents his third solo exhibition at ADN Galeria. 

The exhibition brings together a group of small-scale sculptures that draw on the codes of maquettes and figurative sculpture to explore their narrative potential, alongside works on paper in which references to graphic design, poster art and infographics take on a more expressive and gestural register. Through this reworking of codes, techniques and languages, the artist develops a freer and more intuitive practice that reclaims artisanal authorship and the narrative value of forms, while employing an acerbic sense of humour as a tool for critical thinking, embracing positions of ambiguity and complexity that challenge reductionist readings and binary structures of thought.
