One Minute of Existence
Release. Nando Argüelles Art Projects

What is the Artist without his Work, what is the Work without an Artist. What is the Artist without his audience...
A minute of Existence is a project that was born from a metamorphosis.
A reflection on the figure of the Artist and his relationship with his work and with the public that contemplates it.
A work carried out on a very intimate and subjective cosmogony in which 10 basic contents are related to each other from the individual to form a closely woven network

Of the ephemeral and its supposed footprint, without caring if you will remember me
This series is a complex project in a state of constant growth, an open and mutable series, thus conceived, where there is enough space for error, change, search, encounter and experiment.
Each creative process is a search and a marriage between the artist and his environment. A statement of status and a bill of rights; vision, obsession, needs, delusions, losses, risks. An adventure.
Where the Artist ends and the work begins, where the work ends and the public begins, where public and artist merge, which transcends the line between internal and external.
That line is a no man's land; porous and permeable or solid and walled, osmotic or rigid...
Under the heading Release, a door constantly swings open in two directions, a door that speaks of limits and transcending.
The series is understood as a continuum where an intimate and subjective ideology becomes entangled and untangled creating a network of meanings;
The identity, the environment, the social, the setting, the emotion, the philosophy... a complex worldview articulated through symbols as archetypes or arcana; The Mountain (The Clan), The Girl (The Game), Sex (The Passion), The Flower (The Joy), The House (The North), The Night (The Path), The Sun (The Soul), The Food (The Essence), Forgiveness (Peace), Sleep (Death)
It is a living and mutable series, where the relationships between the archetypes are infinite. An open series where, like a sailboat, I sail and jump from island to island, without worrying about getting to the port concentrating on the road.
The pilgrimage of the road, the journey itself, the abandonment of limits. Release 017
