Trinchera del pensamiento; Norte-Sur

Trenches of Thought. North-South

Trenches of Thought. North-South is the fourth work in the series Trincheras del Pensamiento, which was conceived specifically by the artist Pedro Déniz for this project, Welcome-Bridge. The underlying intention is to build a symbolic bridge between the space where the survey exhibition is on show, in San Martín Centro de Cultura Contemporánea, and the Calle Los Balcones 9 interior space at CAAM (Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno). The artist creates a connection between these spaces in the same way that he proposes a dialogue to overcome the pain between the so-called spheres of North and South. To this end, the trench on this occasion takes on the form of a heart beating in the terrain of utopias that cannot be waived. This new trench-heart is su¬rrounded by the leaves or nopals of the autochthonous cacti from our island, acting as a metaphor of pain and tying in with his installation El dolor no miente (Pain Doesn’t ie), which beats like a heart and safeguards inside a series of thoughts that speak of a possible con¬ciliation between North and South, a space that is both Bridge and Welcome for other possible realities.
