The exhibition ALL OUR HORSES, derives from Marilena Georgantzi's text of the same

name and is the material expression of her conversation with Nagore Chivite within the

gallery’s space. Watercolours on paper, prints on paper, prints on textiles and sculptural forms

revolve around words, opening slits and passages through space, stitches that map mnemonic

traces, psychic paths and imprints around the absence of Horses, interrogating the absence of

our animal nature. Where did the instinct go? They open windows in empty spaces, lest they

see the horses pass by. They play with the hero motif in fairy tales, the journey of searching,

of adventure and doubt, of reconciliation with Absence, and loss, of the safety of what is

familiar. The acceptance of a world being torn down to build a new one. They leave marks,

traces small in the corners of space, weaving paths across uncharted expanses of material,

inviting us to search for the footprints of horse hooves in muddy valleys until we connect with

the wild femininities of our cellular memory, searching within ourselves for pieces forcibly

detached or silenced, patiently waiting to be unearthed and made ours again. Bits and pieces,

life-giving parts, life-giving limbs that might be frightening, molds of what is called to reveal

itself to us, fragmented horses, their parts detached from the whole that - always - exists and

waits to be reconstituted. Personal histories and references, intertwined with the mythological

and the archetypal, inviting us to unravel them, exploring and tracing our own path,

negotiating our relationship both conceptually and materially with them.
