Exhibition

Cordova presents an installation by multimedia artist Cõvco called FLY HIGH.

For the artist’s first solo presentation in Spain, Cõvco will mount a site-specific immersive work which will serve as a stage set and durational exhibition. The presentation at Cordova continues a material and conceptual investigation originally developed for Thunder and Light, a public program about faith and God curated by Cordova’s director Cory John Scozzari that took place in March of 2022 at La Casa Encendida. In the Barcelona chapter the audience is drawn into an immersive world of large-scale fabric pieces and paintings, whose figurative and expressive passages simultaneously invoke sensations of panic and tribulation as well as divinity and ecstasy. Covco’s performances activate the pieces on display in the gallery and viewers are taken with her on a pilgrimage where she asks some difficult questions about belief and the sublime.
