"DISPLACEMENT"
As the name of the exhibition states, "Displacement". It's an exhibition that brings works that were created for the street into the gallery space, as if he had cut out a piece of the work and transported it to the gallery, with small changes, in a more personal way.
So this exhibition shows some of his recent and past work, woven into the streets of cables. As is common in Jorges work, all the pieces are made with recycled supports, giving them a more urban character and a life of their own.
