Gracias a todos los que nos acompañaron el viernes en la inauguración de DIY (Do it yourself) de Marcos Vidal.
A través de una práctica que parte de lo cotidiano, Marcos nos invita a mirar de nuevo aquello que normalmente pasa desapercibido: objetos, gestos y materiales comunes que, al ser reinterpretados, adquieren nuevas posibilidades y significados.
Su trabajo propone una reflexión sobre la transformación, la apropiación y la capacidad de construir nuevas narrativas desde lo que ya existe.
Gracias al artista, a los amigos, coleccionistas y visitantes que compartieron la velada con nosotros y que, con su presencia y mirada, hicieron que la exposición siguiera expandiéndose más allá de las obras.
La exposición estará disponible con cita previa hasta el 24 de julio.
📍 Location: Kaplan Gallery, Mateu Obrador 8, Palma
________
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday for the opening of Marcos Vidal’s ‘DIY (Do it yourself)’.
Through a practice rooted in the everyday, Marcos invites us to take a fresh look at what usually goes unnoticed: common objects, gestures and materials which, when reinterpreted, take on new possibilities and meanings.
His work invites us to reflect on transformation, appropriation and the ability to construct new narratives from what already exists.
Thank you to the artist, friends, collectors and visitors who shared the evening with us and who, through their presence and perspective, ensured the exhibition continued to expand beyond the artworks themselves.
The exhibition will be open by appointment until 24 July.
📍 Location: Kaplan Gallery, Mateu Obrador 8, Palma

Atraco eléctrico (Electric Heist
From the series: DIY (Do it yourself)
Marcos Vidal
167 x 30 x 20 cm
Sculpture, carved pine wood and steel
Vidal’s practice begins with collecting. Saws, cables, pipes, spatulas, electrical plugs, measuring tapes — and above all, wooden blocks — are removed from their original context and transformed into something new.
Through subtle shifts of function and meaning, everyday objects become poetic interventions and critical reflections on systems of value, consumption, and the structures that shape contemporary life.
No longer defined by utility, these objects enter a different condition: one where function disappears and aesthetic presence remains.

Atraco eléctrico
De la serie: DIY (Do it yourself)
Marcos Vidal
167 x 30 x 20 cm
Escultura, madera de pino tallada y acero
La práctica de Vidal parte del acto de coleccionar. Sierras, cables, tuberías, espátulas, enchufes eléctricos, cintas métricas y, sobre todo, bloques de madera son desplazados de su contexto original y transformados en algo nuevo.
A través de sutiles cambios de función y significado, los objetos cotidianos se convierten en intervenciones poéticas y reflexiones críticas sobre los sistemas de valor, el consumo y las estructuras que moldean la vida contemporánea.
Liberados de su utilidad, estos objetos entran en otra condición: una donde la función desaparece y permanece únicamente la presencia estética.

Behind every exhibition install lies a curatorial process — an invisible work of listening, observing and creating relationships between artworks, space and perception. It is not only about deciding where each piece belongs, but about shaping encounters, tensions and moments of pause.
As we install the new solo show by Marcos Vidal, each work gradually finds its place, entering into dialogue with the others and with the architecture that surrounds it.
Meanings shift, connections emerge, and the exhibition becomes an open space for interpretation — completed each time through the eyes of the viewer.

Detrás de cada montaje de una exposición se esconde un proceso curatorial: un trabajo invisible de escucha, observación y creación de relaciones entre las obras de arte, el espacio y la percepción. No se trata solo de decidir dónde encaja cada pieza, sino de dar forma a encuentros, tensiones y momentos de pausa.
A medida que montamos la nueva exposición individual de Marcos Vidal, cada obra va encontrando poco a poco su lugar, entablando un diálogo con las demás y con la arquitectura que la rodea.
Los significados cambian, surgen conexiones y la exposición se convierte en un espacio abierto a la interpretación, que se completa cada vez a través de los ojos del espectador.

@kepagarraza
Oil on canvas
300 x 200 cm
Nuevos Monumentalismos is a series of oil paintings and charcoal drawings that reflects on the role of public monuments in the urban landscape.

Bosc d’enfiladisses I , II
From the series: Simbiòtiques, paràsites i altres relacions, 2025
190 x 127 cm
Photograph printed on silk and embroidered with cotton thread
A collaborative project by @martafontgenovart & @xiscobon
Symbiosis also extends into artistic creation. A real-life couple develops a shared artistic project as both a challenge and an experiment, questioning the nature of collaboration itself.
Symbiotic relationships can be mutualistic, commensal, or even parasitic. Who benefits the most: one individual, both partners, or the project itself? The intention is a positive interaction that feeds and expands itself, where the outcome becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Symbiosis as a way of life: in contrast to competition and conflict, cooperation, trust, and shared responsibility emerge as the only true guarantee for the future.

Piscinas infinitas, 2025
From the series: Europa es nuestro jardín
@luisalfonso.villalobos
168 x 134 cm
Oil on canvas
"We grew up in the desert surrounded by thorny bushes and cacti.
We didn't go to the desert to be tempted by the devil: we wanted to sin; we dreamed of a garden.
There was so much to experience that the tree of knowledge became a forest to us. Luis went to investigate, he went to the future to look with the eyes of a visionary and mystic and, following in the footsteps of the European painters who had documented the landscape of Latin America in the past, he recorded the catastrophe: the collision of technical progress with nature, the ruins of architecture in the post-apocalyptic landscape, the juxtaposition of optical illusion and distorted perception of reality.
It is often said that the Europeans traded us gold for mirrors, but this is a mistranslation: what they gave us were mirages.
They wanted us to believe the story that Europe was the Garden of Eden, when it was the place where we lost our unity and where nature became a deceptive projection.
And there was Luis to paint it: the garden was a bubble, a hazy and fragmented reflection; because we grew up in the desert, we are experts in mirages!" Juan Pablo Villalobos

“Libertad para ser constante” is a project developed by Marcelo Víquez, a layered and thought-provoking reflection on the human condition and the illusion of freedom.
Through a direct yet deeply symbolic visual language, the artist introduces a recurring image: a donkey chasing a carrot suspended just beyond its reach. A simple and familiar scene that becomes a universal metaphor for repetition, desire, and the impossibility of escaping cycles driven by instinct and necessity.
In this perspective, freedom appears as a fragile construct—an illusion that accompanies us while we remain bound to our own patterns. Víquez extends this reflection to the artistic practice itself, presenting sculptures that depict his own body, placing the artist within the very mechanism he questions.
In the video, these ceramic sculptures unfold as both ironic and unsettling presences, oscillating between awareness and inevitability, inviting us to reflect on time, repetition, and the meaning of our actions.

“Libertad para ser constante” es un proyecto desarrollado por Marcelo Víquez, una reflexión compleja y sugerente sobre la condición humana y la ilusión de la libertad.
A través de un lenguaje visual directo pero profundamente simbólico, el artista introduce una imagen recurrente: un asno persiguiendo una zanahoria suspendida justo fuera de su alcance. Una escena simple y reconocible que se convierte en una metáfora universal de la repetición, el deseo y la imposibilidad de escapar de los ciclos guiados por el instinto y la necesidad.
En esta perspectiva, la libertad aparece como una construcción frágil, una ilusión que nos acompaña mientras permanecemos atados a nuestros propios patrones. Víquez extiende esta reflexión a la práctica artística, presentando esculturas que representan su propio cuerpo, situando al artista dentro del mismo mecanismo que cuestiona.
En el video, estas esculturas de cerámica se revelan como presencias a la vez irónicas e inquietantes, oscilando entre la conciencia y la inevitabilidad, invitándonos a reflexionar sobre el tiempo, la repetición y el sentido de nuestras acciones.

We celebrate the acquisition of Topologías by @olimpia.velasco , an artist represented by Kaplan Projects, which now becomes part of the collection of @esbaluardmuseu
Conceived within the project Geodesia, the installation is built around the experience of movement and journey, tracing personal maps where territory, memory, and perception intertwine. Through drawings and a vertex that structures the piece, the artist creates a network of connections that transforms the landscape into an open, ever-evolving cartography.
An initiative that reinforces the commitment to local talent and contemporary art in the Balearic Islands.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to those who continue to support and champion art, artists, the city, and Mallorca.

Maíz rosa III, 2022
122 x 183 cm
Acrilic on canvas
On the canvas, an almost photographic gaze interweaves exhibition scenes viewed through banana leaves that obstruct the viewer’s sight.
The works of Ellsworth Kelly, Blinky Palermo and Imi Knoebel thus emerge from the tropical foliage, forming meta-paintings traversed and interrupted by nature.
@luisalfonso.villalobos reflects on the inevitable growth of nature around human constructions, and even within them.
Far from presenting this relationship as a conflict, he proposes a silent and poetic coexistence between the built environment and organic forces, where landscapes emerge unexpectedly: as beautiful as they are unsettling.
In this way, he draws a parallel between the survival capacity of the tropical tree—capable of thriving in extreme conditions—and the persistence of contemporary painting, which continues to expand and reinvent itself in equally challenging contexts.

Maíz rosa III, 2022
122 x 183 cm
Acrílico sobre tela
En el lienzo, una mirada casi fotográfica entrelaza escenas expositivas observadas a través de hojas de banano que se interponen ante la vista del espectador.
Las obras de Ellsworth Kelly, Blinky Palermo e Imi Knoebel emergen así entre el follaje tropical, configurando metapinturas atravesadas e interrumpidas por la naturaleza.
@luisalfonso.villalobos reflexiona sobre el crecimiento inevitable de lo natural en torno a las construcciones humanas, e incluso dentro de ellas.
Lejos de plantear esta relación como un conflicto, propone una coexistencia silenciosa y poética entre lo construido y las fuerzas orgánicas, donde los paisajes surgen de manera inesperada: tan bellos como inquietantes.
Así, establece un paralelismo entre la capacidad de supervivencia del árbol tropical —capaz de prosperar en condiciones extremas— y la persistencia de la pintura contemporánea, que continúa expandiéndose y reinventándose en contextos igualmente desafiantes.

The works of Ellsworth Kelly, Blinky Palermo and Imi Knoebel thus emerge from the tropical foliage, forming meta-paintings traversed and interrupted by nature.
@luisalfonso.villalobos reflects on the inevitable growth of nature around human constructions, and even within them.
Far from presenting this relationship as a conflict, he proposes a silent and poetic coexistence between the built environment and organic forces, where landscapes emerge unexpectedly: as beautiful as they are unsettling.
In this way, he draws a parallel between the survival capacity of the tropical tree—capable of thriving in extreme conditions—and the persistence of contemporary painting, which continues to expand and reinvent itself in equally challenging contexts.

Acrílico sobre tela
En el lienzo, una mirada casi fotográfica entrelaza escenas expositivas observadas a través de hojas de banano que se interponen ante la vista del espectador.
Las obras de Ellsworth Kelly, Blinky Palermo e Imi Knoebel emergen así entre el follaje tropical, configurando metapinturas atravesadas e interrumpidas por la naturaleza.
@luisalfonso.villalobos reflexiona sobre el crecimiento inevitable de lo natural en torno a las construcciones humanas, e incluso dentro de ellas.
Lejos de plantear esta relación como un conflicto, propone una coexistencia silenciosa y poética entre lo construido y las fuerzas orgánicas, donde los paisajes surgen de manera inesperada: tan bellos como inquietantes.
Así, establece un paralelismo entre la capacidad de supervivencia del árbol tropical —capaz de prosperar en condiciones extremas— y la persistencia de la pintura contemporánea, que continúa expandiéndose y reinventándose en contextos igualmente desafiantes.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.
