Seriation is a work method that allows Otero to explore all of the possibilities of one same idea and sublimate this approach which helps him to embellish and magnify a piece of work understood as a chosen whole. Through his use of audio-visual material, he brings the audience closer to the creative process. He is searching for a certain contextualisation of the works as a whole, taking into consideration the rooms, dimensions and lighting of this particular space and the way in which it can be explored. All of these pieces have been produced over the last few months and have been especially created for this area and space. In line with the objectives which have been chosen for the METRÓPOLIS series, Xosé Luís Otero’s exhibition includes a selection of newly produced pieces, under the title Atlas of solitude. As such, in his installations, the landscape, this traditional genre from which he drew inspiration in his initial proto-abstract art, now takes on a new dimension, becoming the leitmotiv of a universe with two extremes: rural and urban. An Urban Perspective of Galicia Art series, encompasses two of the key disciplines that have been present throughout his training and subsequent artistic career: the pictorial and the sculptural. Xosé Luis Otero’s proposal for the fourth stage of the METROPOLIS. The area corresponding to the past consists of a room where, as a reference or homage to the movie Metropolis, the spirit of Vigo during the 1920s is relived through vanguard architecture plans and images together with photographs and documents of that time, as well as art déco furniture, objects, clothing and decorations. The project comprises two clearly differentiated areas, both with regards to staging and to contents, laid out within the spaces of the first floor. The proposal consists of several individual exhibitions as a view of the present, together with a common section for all works as a look to the past. The cycle was conceived with a double objective: making a trip to the past, to Vigo in the Twenties, when Fritz Lang’s film Metropolis premiered in town and, at the same time, offering a perspective of the current Galician art scene. The METROPOLIS cycle, curated by Rubén Martínez Alonso, reaches its fourth stage with the exhibition by artist Xosé Luís Otero.
