THE ALBA SYNCHROTRON SUPPORTS THE ARTS

Till November 17th, you can visit the exhibition { }, an artistic project of Pep Vidal, with the collaboration of the ALBA Synchrotron. The aim of { } is to create "nothingness" and to isolate it forever. The ultra-high vacuum capsule, produced with the help of ALBA, becomes a system in which the possibilities of interaction are limited as much as possible.

{ }, of Pep Vidal, is one of the selected projects for the individual exhibition at Espai Cub of La Capella within the 7th edition of the artistic contest BCN Producció. Till November 17th, this project will be exhibited representing "nothingness", which is obtained with the creation and isolation of an ultra-high vacuum chamber, a space in which atmospheric pressure is radically lower than normal. This ultra-high vacuum capsule, produced with the help of ALBA Synchrotron, creates “nothingness” inside a cube, steering clear of any kind of modification or conditioning.

Pep Vidal holds a BA in Mathematics and is pursuing a PhD in Physics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). He studies the complexity and sensitivity of systems and interactions and addresses his artistic concerns based on an approach that is interwoven with science.

La Capella is the space used by Barcelona's Institut de Cultura to showcase the work of emerging artists.
