Revolú Gallery est une pionnière dans l'intégration de technologies avancées et de supports innovants pour promouvoir et diffuser l’art à l'échelle internationale. Son objectif est d’explorer la convergence entre l’art traditionnel “low tech” avec des supports technologiques. Cette démarche illustre son engagement pour la diversité des expressions et des supports, démontrant ainsi son intérêt à combiner les techniques traditionnelles avec le monde numérique. Profondément avant-gardiste, Revolú Gallery explore les limites de la pensée philosophique, de l'identité et de la confluence des points de vues, incluant, sans s'y limiter, les Américains non natifs et leur diaspora, les femmes, la communauté queer, ainsi que plus largement les anticonformistes du monde de l'art traditionnel. En portant ces récits variés, la galerie témoigne de son engagement en faveur d'un dialogue riche qui dépasse les récits artistiques conventionnels et embrasse la complexité de l'expérience humaine, tout en remettant en question la prédominance de la perspective occidentale et de la langue anglaise dans le monde de l'art.

La Galería Revolú es pionera en la integración de tecnologías avanzadas y medios innovadores para globalizar el arte, y se adentra en la convergencia del arte de baja o “no tech” con los reinos tecnológicos. Esta exploración denota un compromiso con la diversidad de expresión y medio, reflejando una amplia curiosidad sobre cómo las técnicas tradicionales se entrecruzan con la era digital. Profundizando en su misión vanguardista, la Galería Revolú está profundamente comprometida en explorar los límites del pensamiento filosófico, la identidad y la intersección de perspectivas, incluidas, pero no limitadas a, las de los no estadounidenses nacidos fuera de EE.UU., su diáspora, mujeres, la comunidad queer y otros que se desvían del mundo artístico tradicional. Al promover estas variadas narrativas, la galería subraya su dedicación a fomentar un diálogo enriquecedor que trasciende las narrativas artísticas convencionales y abraza el complejo mosaico de la experiencia humana, todo mientras desafía el enfoque centrado en Occidente y en el idioma inglés predominante en el mundo del arte.

This exhibition melds diverse cultural perspectives and artistic mediums, featuring the works of three international-facing artists—Mario Tauchi, Capucine Bourcart, and Allicette Torres. This exhibition weaves together a tapestry of cultural narratives, artistic expressions, and ecological contemplations to illuminate the intricate interplay between human life and the boundless majesty of the ocean. Through this showcase, the artists engage in a profound dialogue, sharing their deeply personal and transformative encounters with the sea, inviting viewers into a world where art and the aquatic realm converge.
Tauchi, through his unique fusion of Asian Mandalas and Western modern art, reflects on the enduring impact of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima disaster, focusing on the challenges of contamination management and the debate over releasing treated water into the ocean. With a forthcoming wall drawing performance, he will explore the balance between human action, environmental responsibility, and our vulnerability to natural disasters and technological excess.
Fascinated by the ocean's diversity, mystery, power, and vital role, the Bourcart series of mixed-media paintings explore its grandeur. Her works are a visual reflection of interactions with the sea, its force, and natural elements. Among them, there’s a poignant reminder of the smallness of our humanity in the face of its immensity and the humility it imposes on us.
These pieces are literal and authentic because they incorporate natural materials such as sand, shells, and feathers she collected from the natural world; they invite the viewer into a visual sensory exploration.
Torres’ video projection, drawing inspiration from the Puerto Rican ethos “Las playas son del pueblo” (The beaches belong to the people), offers a visually poetic journey through the communal battle against privatization and environmental damage, embracing the notion that land and water belong universally to no one.
It is a powerful advocacy piece for preserving beaches as a shared natural heritage belonging to all, highlighting the imperative to protect these spaces from exploitation and preserve them for the common good.
“Odas Marinas: The Ocean Unbound” is more than an exhibition; it calls for pause and consideration. Through a curated selection of works that span the marine environment’s emotional, conceptual, and political spectrum, the exhibition challenges perceptions and urges us to reconsider our role in fostering a sustainable and harmonious relationship with the ocean.
