VASTO x Proyectos Multipropósito at SWAB Barcelona Art Fair — 2025
Proyectos Multipropósito (Mexico City) and VASTO (Barcelona) present a shared proposal in the VORTEX PROGRAM at Swab Art Fair 2025, bringing into dialogue the sculptural practice of Berta Blanca T. Ivanow (Barcelona, 1992) and the painting practice of Scott Galván (Guadalajara, 1998). Together, their works open a conversation around transformation and impermanence — what resists fixity and remains in flux.
At the center of the booth, Ivanow’s clay sculptures take form as intimate, tactile bodies. Trained between London, New York, Florence, and Barcelona, her practice emerges from a deep engagement with ceramics, organic materials, and ancient processes.
Her works evoke seeds, tears, or bodily cavities — always caught in transition: never sealed, never final, always open to uncertainty. Their organic quality is less a return to nature than a gesture of listening — receptive to what pulses beneath the surface, to what emerges to sustain us in fragility. Implicit in her work is the acknowledgment that every human creation will eventually decompose, returning to the earth.
Surrounding these forms, Galván’s paintings introduce a different face of the organic. Based in Mexico City and trained in Visual
Arts at ENPEG, his practice expands the possibilities of drawing and painting through caricature, popular culture, humor, and fantasy. Figures, animals, and urban presences fold, twist, and unravel across layers of color. His rapid, almost breathless brushwork captures the impossibility of holding a single instant still. Like the city itself, life appears and disappears in a constant flow, reminding us that every form is provisional, every image transitory.
