In 2008, Belén Romero Gunset and Soledad Alastuey formed Pan Duro, a performatic duo. Together, they produced works like La Piedra [The Stone] and the eco-feminist video Contamina II [Polluted], where they sing a song in support of sustainability and against the carelessness and idiocy of “boys.” In 2014, she produced Perfektópolis, a work that looks to utopian nudist and vegan communities as well as the Frankfurt School to formulate the bases for what, in her view, would be a perfect society.

The paintings on exhibit here were produced later. She created them as a visual platform to communicate Método S1, a method to conquer joy organized around instructions regarding geometry and color and built on the basis of some ideas of Baruch Spinoza’s. Romero Gunset believes that smilies and emoticons can be understood as pagan symbols, and her method a contemporary rite.

Helena Líndelen is an artist who teaches mandala making. In late 2009, she launched an in-person mandala workshop, and in 2012 online class. For the online classes, she developed the teaching method described in her Manual de enseñanza del arte del Mandala [Mandala Making Instruction Handbook] and in her classes via e-mail. Líndelen’s work is featured in Teoría del quehacer actoral cotidiano para intérpretes [Theory for Performers in Daily Life] developed by Naranja Milano Questa. The theory explores performance before an audience that is not aware it is an audience. The characters are Helena Líndelen, Clara Smart, Javier Lesa, El mendigo, and Naranja Milano Questa herself. Each one of them has documented their performances in online publications, mostly Facebook posts, thanks to the historical moment that witnessed the larger project, created by artist Marisa Rubio from 2008 to 2018.
