From October 17 to December 13, the Galerie des Residents at the Montresso Art Foundation presents “Minaye Khaali” (The Enamelled Void), a duo exhibition by artists Golnaz Payani and Santiago Talavera.
At first glance, nothing seems to connect the practices of these two artists. And yet, a shared dramaturgy emerges. Before our eyes, intimate and personal, political and social voices take shape. The installation of their works within the exhibition space becomes a narrative engine.
For Golnaz Payani, what is questioned is the function of clothing. Garments, for her, embody belonging — to a geography, a community, a way of thinking, a social class. Clothing is never silent: it is both an object and a metaphor, of memory as well as of identity. Working with brocade and cotton, beads and sequins, she weaves a deliberately feminine narrative. Inspired by Morocco’s ancestral weaving traditions, the richness of these fabrics resonates like the many voices of women speaking through them.
Santiago Talavera, por su parte, confronta la cuestión del lugar. Sus paisajes, elaborados a partir de una amalgama distintiva de dibujo y collage, oscilan entre lo infinitesimal y lo infinito. Sus espacios escénicos funcionan como interfaces, instándonos a observar, a reimaginarnos, a actuar. “El dibujo es un proceso de avanzar a través de la corrección de errores”, explica, “y soy consciente de las contradicciones inherentes a las obras que imaginan un poscapitalismo mientras dependen de tecnologías modernas”. Aquí, el espacio se convierte en una llamada a imaginar otras alternativas.
