"La silla evocadora" Exhibition

Details

The Evocative Chair, the new artistic proposal by Juan Luis Calero, arrives at the Casas Consistoriales of Telde. The Department of Culture of the City Council of Telde, through the public company Gestel, will inaugurate next Thursday, July 9, at 6:30 p.m., the exhibition The Evocative Chair, by the philosopher, writer, journalist, and painter Juan Luis Calero Santana, in the exhibition hall of the Casas Consistoriales. Doctor of Philosophy, Juan Luis Calero has developed an extensive career in the fields of communication and culture. He has collaborated with media outlets such as Diario de Avisos, La Provincia, and La Opinión de Tenerife, in addition to participating in Radio Club Tenerife of Cadena SER, Radio Nacional de España, Onda Cero, RTVE Canarias, Televisión Canaria, and Antena 3. On television he directed and presented well-known programs such as La Azotea de Calero and Échese a la calle, shows that brought the social and cultural reality of the Canary Islands closer to the public and that form part of his renowned trajectory as a communicator. He now returns to one of his great passions with The Evocative Chair, a collection in which abstract expressionism becomes the language with which he explores memory, creation, and the capacity of art to awaken emotions. Far from understanding the chair solely as an everyday object, Calero transforms it into a symbol of the creative act. For the artist, it represents the place where art is born, where the traces of those who inhabit it remain, and from where imagination takes shape. This personal vision runs throughout the exhibition, which invites visitors to pause, observe, and find their own interpretation in each work. The opening will also feature the participation of Yeray Rodríguez, professor at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, verse-maker and folklorist, who will perform Historia de las sillas, by Silvio Rodríguez, a performance that is especially significant due to its close relationship with the symbolic universe that inspires this exhibition. *The exhibition can be visited from July 9 to 31, in the exhibition hall of the Casas Consistoriales of Telde, from
