SILENCIOCarving in the face of an ex-granite quarry
Belalcazar, Spain 2015-permanent Awarded AIDF award from The Arts council England |
SILENCIO is a carving in the face of an ex- granite quarry in rural Spain. Like many smaller quarries across Spain, it was forced to close due to a restriction of dynamite use following the Madrid train bombings in 2004. Nearby the site a former worker of the quarry opened up a memorial engraving business with his son. The pair were employed to return to the site and carve 'SILENCIO' into the face of the amphitheatre-like walls. The permanent intervention was created for a two man show 'In The Face of Collapse' at Combo and Co with Jacobo Castellano in Cordoba in 2015. |
