JUAN GALDEANO

The conceptual artist Galdeano often creates objectless installations—his materials could be temperature, smoke—as well as his repeated use of soap bubbles. In his series of bubble machines titled, The Perfect Moment, the artist dreams of a world where there is no AIDS or cancer, a world with no disease or pain. In his dream, we are like soap bubbles, beautiful and able to share a space that is healthy and whole.

Galdeano also works in a second method in which he composes objects borrowed from the immediate surroundings to create metamorphoses/transforming situations or circumstances.

A domestic setting can be turned into a space for the verbal expression of lives and feelings. For example, a solitary candle placed at the corner of an immense rotating base-“remote and alone I illuminate;” or the seven silver keys in silver locks fitted in the gallery wall-“you’ll open the door to nowhere.” Because the word is excluded from these works, these objects take on a greater importance and mystery.
