Jorge Conde exhibits “LOVE ME THIS WAY” at the Museum of Modern Art (MAMT) in
Tarragona (Spain), as part of the 2017 Contemporary Art Biennial.
“LOVE ME THIS WAY” (2012-17) hybrid installation is included in “The
Scarred Transporter Project”, an artistic investigation on technological
utopia, our behaviour as consumers and how these two concepts relate to contemporary
landscape and their so-called “inevitable” environmental implications. Starting
in 2010, this project was produced in close collaboration with the Spanish
Ministry of Culture (MECD), and developed with a Visual Arts Grant awarded by
the the Autonomous Government of Catalonia (CoNCA).
“LOVE ME THIS WAY” (2012-17) aims to reflect on the notion of technological
utopia and highlights some common forms of abuse derived from today’s hyperconsumption
society. To do so, Jorge Conde confronts the visual representation of several comsumer’s
archetypes along with real motor vehicles and some scale models donated by people
who visited previous shows of its mother project “The Scarred Transporter”. In addition to that, the exhibition at the
MAMT screens “Love Me This Way”, a video art piece entirely shot at the London
Film Museum (UK) in 2015.
