Texts by Marian de Abiega Forcén, Melanie Smith & Patricio Villarreal Ávila
Palimpsestos intermediales brings together a compendium of works by Melanie Smith (United Kingdom, 1965), organized around a structure that mirrors the conceptual strategies the artist has employed in recent years. The editorial proposal places images from different projects in dialogue with one another, seeking to generate new approaches that go beyond the previous and individual readings of each series. Marian de Abiega’s text serves as a guiding thread that accompanies this flow of images, offering a reflection on the intermedial poetics that have shaped Smith’s practice under the idea of expanding painting beyond itself.
