- The distance between things, 2009
This piece, made with wools and wooden rods, rescues everyday materials to create abstract sculptural works that form a geometric design. The artist attempts to create sculptures that have no inside, playing with the idea of the boundary between the interior and exterior. Always interested in science and its linkages with art, Joglar looks to illustrate the lines that operate in the space, in works that also refer to architecture, minimalism, and the work of Fred Sandback. Joglar often works with collected objects and materials that he stores and chooses specifically for his installations. The artist describes his way of working in a presentation on the Bola de Nieve site: “... the process has to do with (...) the chain reaction that awaken my works. My installations generally require from the observer a more studied viewing.”
The distance between things calls the viewer to a new landscape with figures and multiple structures, where vision is fractured, proposing lines and open fragments. Wools, wooden rods and other materials were found, selected and collected by the artist to be turned into objects of contemplation where the fragile sculpture interacts and works together with the architecture of the space.
