Llegir amb les condicions idònies (To read with ideal conditions) brings together different drawings and sculptures made with iron tube, wire, coins, papers, printing ink and cardboard, which Jordi Mitjà has produced expressly for this exhibition.

“Knowing how to read the materials, disable their uses, turn their logic upside down. Do not discard anything, skip conventions and improvise. Incorporating everything we encounter into the same process and not ignoring accidents”

Starting from the discard and the use of very simple materials, Jordi Mitjà presents the fourth individual exhibition of this year, which synthesizes the past and closes the circle that he opened at the beginning of February with Sculpture is not important at the Suñol Foundation in Barcelona where the artist incorporates the paternal trade of manyà to explore different drifts related to materials, techniques and the sculpture itself.

By chance, the previously molten and burning iron is thrown on top of the papers that the artist has on the floor of the studio. . This burning iron generates burns that in some cases spread due to the wind, drawing lines and furrows, and make us doubt the limits of drawing and sculpture.

The press that his father once made is now used to bend and crush iron tubes as if they were paper. Using the locksmith’s tools, exploring the material, the process, its operation and getting rid of the story, running away from meaning and shooting at the logics they impose is his modus operandi.
