Solid That Melts into Air is a project by Toni Giró that gathers together a selection of his works from the last thirty years. Toni Giró’s work is clearly rooted in expanded sculpture and focuses on the image located in the space, activated by the three-dimensional devices he constructs. The artist traces, with a critical perspective on the present and often using irony, the various historical impasses and their interchanges of meaning in order to highlight the limits and possible vanishing points of contemporaneity.

The artist uses sculpture, installation, photography, video and drawing to invite us to reflect upon the fragility of the construction of meaning, a practice that endows importance to the materiality and the object of the work. Solid That Melts into Air is a project that explores the fissures of contemporaneity without losing sight of the conceptual theories that opened up a new range of possibilities to us years ago.
