About Gallery

RocioSantaCruz is a dynamic space for contemporary creation and thought in all its manifestations. Situated in the neuralgic center of Barcelona and with a surface area of over 300m2, the venue showcases projects by both established artists and emerging talents.

True to is trajectory since its creation in 1994 in Paris as a publisher of artists’ books, RocioSantaCruz honors its commitment to highlighting unpublished archives with the aim of sparking a conversation between the avant-gardes of the latter half of the 20th century and new contemporary practices. The gallery is conceived as a place for experimentation, a forum for discussion, and a space for the diffusion of new practices, where particular interest is paid to photography, experimental cinema, and the archive and publication of artists’ books.

• Artist(s)

Although the title of this exhibition by Mar Arza departs from a poem by Stéphane Mallarmé, fate makes the loose pages of the poem turn abruptly and, in a blast of fresh air, set up in new succession. The words of the poem, thrown randomly and left adrift, begin a new heading, of which its last expression is a watermark that determine its reading.

The walk around for the distinct art pieces shown at RocioSantaCruz gallery depicts the synonymy between an apparently clear concept such as chance, and a continuous fixed system that conditions the management of fortunes. There are dice always falling on the same side. There are chances that do not arise strictly by chance.
