Eduardo Chillida: Cuerpos geométricos. Larry Bell, Nora Aurrekoetxea,

Chillida Leku Explores the Role of Geometry Throughout Eduardo Chillida’s Career. The exhibition "Geometric Bodies" brings together works by Eduardo Chillida in dialogue with one work by Larry Bell and one by Nora Aurrekoetxea. About Chillida Leku has opened Geometric Bodies, an exhibition dedicated to the use of geometric volumes throughout Eduardo Chillida’s artistic career. Bringing together works from different stages of the artist’s production, the exhibition explores how Chillida employed geometric forms as a recurring formal and conceptual resource. From his figurative plaster sculptures of the late 1940s to his later architectural-scale projects characterised by greater formal synthesis and a public dimension, the exhibition reveals how geometric bodies served as a vehicle for investigating space, matter and form. Within this framework, the sphere and the cube emerge as recurring motifs that generate distinct fields of meaning throughout the exhibition. Geometric Bodies also inaugurates a new exhibition format at Chillida Leku, incorporating the participation of two invited artists, each represented by a single work. Their contributions are integrated into the exhibition itinerary as counterpoints that open up new readings of Chillida’s practice. On this occasion, the museum has invited Larry Bell, renowned for his explorations of laminated glass and the ways in which light is reflected, transmitted and absorbed, and Nora Aurrekoetxea, whose work investigates sculpture as a relational space between body, object and material. Through approximately forty works, Geometric Bodies examines how Chillida explored space and pursued a lifelong quest to give form to what cannot be seen through geometric structures and volumes.
