...with Jose Dávila

In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König talks to the
multidisciplinary artist Jose Dávila, who resides and works in his
hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico. He works primarily with sculpture,
but also photography, painting, and various media. In the podcast
they talk about his work in the studio, the Acapulco chair, his
sculptures and his upcoming projects. Jose’s work is a constant
search for moments of shared reciprocity between contradictory
elements. By means of a structural intuition Jose produces
constructive situations in which tension and stillness, geometric
order and random chaos, fragility and resistance, are fluctuating
commonplaces for materials in continuous transformation. Johann and
Jose talk about interesting projects like his vertical sculpture at
Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, his multi-site, large-scale,
public sculpture exhibition migrating through the diverse urban
landscape of Los Angeles and his upcoming exhibition in König
Galerie, Seoul.
