The Peripherals Collective Exhibits in Mojácar Until 30th of September

Until the 30th of September, the “Peripherals” collective is exhibiting in Mojácar at the La Fuente Municipal Art Centre Hall, where visitors can admire a fantastic collection of works created by this renowned artistic group. Many members of the public attended the inauguration, including Mojácar Council Culture Councillor Noemí Linares, who did not want to miss this first day of the exhibition and the opportunity to discuss its characteristics with the artists themselves.

Titled “Art to Take Away,” the Mojácar exhibition is a nod by the collective aimed at giving another dimension to art: “You can enjoy art, but also taste it, and above all, consume it,” they affirm. “Art to Take Away” in Mojácar consists of 56 paintings, 14 sculptures, and various items of furniture made with recycled elements.

The Peripherals collective is formed by Rafael Ebrero, Anne Kampschulte, and Safi. Rafael Ebrero, born in Córdoba, is professionally dedicated to envisioning furniture and furnishings with recycled materials. He reuses any discarded item and gives it new life, setting an integrative example of art and usefulness. Anne Kampschulte, who lives in the Almería province, is primarily a sculptor, working in marble and natural stone, although she also paints and presents some of her works in Mojácar. Safi, from Almería, is a multidisciplinary artist who invokes nature as an objective for everything. Nature itself is also very present in his work, as he uses materials derived from it, molding them into forms and compositions that are both art and poetry.

Peripherals exhibited in Mojácar 11 years ago, and as a collective, they have gone almost 10 years without exhibiting. This is one of the first occasions on which they are meeting the public again. The exhibition in Mojácar has a careful presentation, both in the placement of their works and in the intention of the message, creating an attractive atmosphere for the visitor. Visits to exhibition halls, Safi comments, have cooled off in recent times, perhaps due to social media, which shows artists’ work immediately and comfortably, but it is important to see the works “on the spur of the moment.”

The La Fuente municipal art hall opens its doors free of charge, with visiting hours from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 2pm, and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm and from 5pm to 9pm. However, this weekend it will also remain open on Sunday to extend the possibility of enjoyment. An exhibition not to be missed.
