Perspective of Light – Solo Exhibition by Pavel Korbička at Al-Tiba9 Gallery
Al-Tiba9 Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the solo exhibition ‘Perspective of light,’ by the Czech artist Pavel Korbička, Curated by Mohamed Benhadj.
Opening Exhibition: November 28, 2024 – 6:30 PM
Address: Calle Comerç 11, 08003 Barcelona, Spain
Open to the public until March 1, 2025
Visitors are invited to experience “Labyrinth,” a site-specific, physically accessible installation designed for the Al-Tiba9 Gallery in Barcelona. This installation offers an immersive experience that engages both body and mind. As visitors move through the curved space, their active movements trigger a phenomenon of kinetic light projected onto the walls, creating an interaction between light and physical presence. The installation highlights the psychophysical effects on their bodies, sometimes inducing sensations of imbalance through binocular vision.
About the Artist:
At the core of Korbička’s work is the use of advanced technological materials and his ability to evoke strong emotional reactions. The exhibition impacts viewers through a dynamic flow of light and color that envelops them, transforming the large gallery space into a visual and sensory experience. Visitors are invited to explore the vibrant interplay of illuminated and dispersed structures, experiencing a unique fusion of color that creates virtual imagery and a parallel space. As they navigate through the “Labyrinth,” they become integral to the artwork itself, enriching their imagination and expanding their perceptual boundaries.
About Al-Tiba9 Gallery:
Since its foundation in 2013 in Algeria, Al-Tiba9 Contemporary has aimed to seize, in a particular way, the social reality of creating an interface between the West and the Arab world through contemporary art. Al-Tiba9 Gallery, inaugurated in October 2023 in Barcelona, Spain, represents and exhibits well-known, established artists from different backgrounds. It also introduces emergent artists to the international scene, primarily focusing on contemporary art reflecting modern society and its environment, encouraging innovation and diversity of mediums, potentially engaging today’s art scene.
The gallery space is 300 sqm in El Born, the old town of Barcelona, near several renewed museums such as the European Modern Art Museum, Picasso Museum, Moco Museum, and the Chocolate Museum.
Founded by Mohamed Benhadj, an independent curator with a decade-long experience working with established artists, museums, and collectors, The Gallery runs several programs to promote international artists and invites art professionals through art exhibitions, talks, publications, online events, and much more.
