Tharrats, Conesa and Llinàs: dialogues between matter, nature and memory
Three artists, three perspectives on space, time and human experience.
The Miró Mallorca Foundation presents three temporary exhibitions that consolidate its commitment to contemporary creation and current artistic reflection. Under the titles Refugia, Aram and Palaus de la memória, these shows transform the Foundation's spaces into scenarios where thought, matter and spirituality coexist and dialogue through diverse plastic languages. The exhibitions include the works of three artists with very different approaches: Rosa Tharrats , Fito Conesa and Biel Llinàs . Despite their different ways of expressing themselves, they are united by a profound look at the relationship between the individual and the world they inhabit.
In the Cubic Space, the installation Refugia by Rosa Tharrats (Barcelona, 1983) invites a sensory immersion, created from textiles and organic matter. Tharrats develops a series of mobile sculptures conceived as symbolic refuges where the mineral, plant and artificial kingdoms mix. These structures not only challenge the eye, but also the body, which is surrounded by forms that seem to breathe to the rhythm of the environment. Tharrats' proposal seeks a return to sensitivity, an almost spiritual approach to the artistic experience. Refuges, the artist states, are spaces to re-tune and, in this way, the installation continues its path in the exploration of art as a channel for transformation and expansion of consciousness.

In the Foundation's auditorium, Aram by Fito Conesa (Cartagena, 1980) is presented as an audiovisual story that explores the notion of wounded territory. Conesa focuses attention on the relationship between humans and nature, especially in terms of what is lost or degraded through exploitation and oblivion. Through a combination of moving images, voice and music, Conesa weaves a narrative that oscillates between visual poetry and social testimony. His work uses the voice as a fundamental element to construct an intimate story, where oral memory becomes a tool of resistance and recognition. Through this project, Conesa questions the power structures that shape the landscape and denounces the consequences of human action disconnected from its environment.

Finally, at Espai Zero, Biel Llinàs (Felanitx, 1993) presents Palaus de la memória, an installation that explores the link between space, memory and identity. During his period of artistic residency at the Casa de Velázquez, in Madrid, Biel Llinàs is deeply influenced by the history of the building. The spaces, loaded with stories and experiences, awaken his curiosity and, following a series of documentary clues, Llinàs manages to reconstruct the path that separates the present moment from the historical past. His project proposes an exploration and hypothesis of physical and temporal spaces that bring us closer to an architecture where certain elements are no longer easily identifiable and includes a series of sculptural pieces and models that evoke domestic, religious and institutional spaces, all with a strong affective charge. Llinàs explores the tensions between what we remember and what we imagine having experienced, breaking with the coldness that is often associated with architecture.
With these three exhibitions, which can be visited until August 31, the Fundació Miró Mallorca reaffirms its role as a center for creation, research and contemporary artistic exhibition, opening spaces for reflection on the present through diverse voices. The dialogue with nature, matter and memory is the common thread that unites these shows, which each artist displays from different languages.
