En el museo del reloj Antiguo

What do a mirror, a clock, and a coin have in common? Each in its own way points toward something—an image, a time, a value—and yet the coincidence never quite materializes.\n\nThe mirror shows you an inverted and partial image of things; the clock points to a figure that is simultaneously present, past, and future; the coin contains a value that is always bestowed, symbolic.\n\nJorge Diezma employs techniques and grammars of Baroque art to render in oil objects of dubious provenance and value, enveloping them in a profound and labored darkness.\n\nIn the museum of the antique clock, surrounded by mechanisms as anachronistic as painting itself, Jorge Diezma invites us to visit some of art's commonplaces in order to glimpse the shadow of our time and remind us that in every object lurks an infinity, an unfathomable richness.\n\nConceived and realized specifically to be exhibited in the subterranean museum of Grassy, Diezma elaborates a painting that is at once concave mirror, stopped clock, and crypto-currency.\n\nJacobo Fitz-James Stuart
