2017 Contemporary Art Biennial at the Museum of Modern Art in Tarragona (Spain)_

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.
