...with Jose Dávila
In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König talks to the multidisciplinary artist Jose Dávila, who resides and works in his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico. He works primarily with sculpture, but also photography, painting, and various media.
In the podcast they talk about his work in the studio, the Acapulco chair, his sculptures and his upcoming projects.
Jose’s work is a constant search for moments of shared reciprocity between contradictory elements. By means of a structural intuition Jose produces constructive situations in which tension and stillness, geometric order and random chaos, fragility and resistance, are fluctuating commonplaces for materials in continuous transformation.
Johann and Jose talk about interesting projects like his vertical sculpture at Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, his multi-site, large-scale, public sculpture exhibition migrating through the diverse urban landscape of Los Angeles and his upcoming exhibition in König Galerie, Seoul.
