Cotangent Invited Residency Summer 2019 - Robert Cervera

Tangent Projects invited Robert Cervera to be our first Cotangent Invited Resident Artist, his residency took place in August 2019.

The invitation came after over a year of enjoyable conversations and meetings. It has been very exciting to be able to continue these conversations, and to see where they will lead now that Robert has finished his residency, and we work towards an exhibition in Tangent Projects gallery in 2020.

Robert’s work stems from a fascination with the materiality around us and within us. A recurring interest is the dialectics between formlessness and structure, flow and system. More recently, this has opened an enquiry into the ways we contain and herd shapeless assets such as water, air and data.

Below are a few images of some of the work Robert produced during his residency.

Robert Cervera is a London-based artist born in Barcelona. He graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Sculpture, and won the 2014 Kenneth Armitage Young Sculptor Prize for his degree show. 
Robert's work includes sculpture, installation, video and sound, with a strong interest in materiality and our relation to it.

He has shown extensively in the UK, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Mexico.
Selected exhibitions include Yes And, Kelder Projects (London); Tomorrow Starts Here, La Escocesa (Barcelona); Identify your limitations, Vitrine (Basel); Cue Collision, House of Egorn (London); Salon Acme, Zona Maco (México); Outpost Film Open, selected by Ed Atkins (Norwich); Ichor, Danielle Arnaud (London); and Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition, Kunsthall Charlottenborg (Copenhagen).
