Courtesy of the artist; The Goma and Galería CURRO. The White Cube is Never Empty is the first solo museum exhibition of Spanish artist Cristina Garrido in Belgium, presented as part of the EUROPALIA ESPAÑA festival.
The exhibition brings together a selection of her major works from the past decade and unveils a new in situ installation, conceived in direct dialogue with the museum’s architecture and the history of its exhibitions.
Cristina Garrido’s multidisciplinary work explores how contemporary art is defined culturally, digitally, and institutionally. Through videos, installations, and objects, she examines the dynamics of the art world, cultural narratives, and the impact of technology on artistic creation and reception.
Central themes of her work include:
Created specifically for this exhibition, Cristina Garrido’s new installation continues her reflection on collective memory and the construction of meaning within the global art ecosystem.
Using the principle of anamorphosis – a visual technique that distorts the image according to the viewer’s perspective – the artist reactivates archival photographs of past exhibitions. These optical illusions bring back the “ghosts” of previously displayed works, transforming the museum space into a sensory experience of time, memory, and art history.
With The White Cube is Never Empty, Cristina Garrido offers a critical reading of the museum’s role in constructing artistic memory. By combining visual experimentation with conceptual reflection, she questions the notion of authorship and how the institutional context shapes the visibility and value of artworks.
