Travelers in Time presents large scale photographs by Lluís Barba based on known masterworks by Bosh, Brueghel, Van Dyke, Raphael, Goya and Gauguin. Barba inhabits iconic paintings with present-day celebrities and influential people, as well as anonymous visitors. The new work is plagued by ordinary iconographies, such as McDonalds signs that share a new created virtual space with artworks by modern masters such as Magritte, DeKooning and Miro. The exhibition highlights the surrealist nature of Barba's manufactured worlds by inviting the visitor to enter a new reality occupied by the three dimensional steel sculptures at once organic and geometric of German artist Herbert Mehler. Mehler's sculptures come from nature - the plant world of fruits and seeds. Mehler transform the weight of metal into soft light shapes that at once are grounded yet seem capable of becoming airborne by the slightest breeze.
