Contemporary human society has been marginalizing the enjoyment of balconies. Those of us who are observers of them know that almost only are used for smoking. But now they have been configured as a resource to contemplate the disfigured city, as a slight consolation for the restriction of space.
Bio
Isidoro Valcárcel Medina (Murcia, Spain, 1937) is a key artist of conceptual art in Spain. His work has been characterized by breaking with the most conventional art schemes. Unaware of trends, Valcárcel Medina focuses on creating situations, interventions, actions or projects, beyond the artistic object, which account for his committed attitude and away from the commercial aspects of art.
