About Gallery
etHALL has a stable programme since 2011 in which includes the works by both consolidated artists and others at the beginning of their careers. The work that it develops is distinguished by maintaining a close collaboration with the artists, making possible the elaboration and presentation of their most committed proposals. The new gallery space in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat emphasizes the experimental nature of the exhibition projects.

Francesc Ruiz
presents a new body of work that delves into the imaginary of contemporary
distribution and logistics and that manifests itself in the materiality of
large-format printing, corporate signage, video and detourned comics.
"Diversion”
2022, is a new installation where he reconstructs in the gallery space the
entire information conglomerate used to manage and maintain the flow of users
of the public transport network during an exceptional cut due to improvement works.
“Asoul”,
2021, is a video where, from a set of found footage, it evokes different forms
of movement and circulation of human and non-human beings, interspersed with
images that show us an overflowing nature on the verge of collapse. Finally,
"Tired" 2022, is a set of drawings where comics and ubiquity
intersect from the claim of the mascot of a well-known tire brand.

Francesc Ruiz
Francesc Ruiz (Barcelona, 1971) Departs from comics as an
aesthetic, narrative and intellectual substratum and also as historical and
operative material, applied as a continent or description of reality. Through
creation, alteration, restitution or coupling, among other ways, he generates
possible stories that reveal the gears through which individual and social
identities, sexual identity or also the identity of the city are built.
His installations have been
shown in different national and international art centers and museums: CA2M
(Madrid), IVAM (Valencia), MACBA (Barcelona), Gasworks (London), FRAC PACA
(Marseille), Weserburg Museum (Bremen) and in biennials such as Venice in 2015,
Götteborg in 2017, Momentum Biennial, Moss, Norway in 2019 or Busan Biennial in
2020.
