PARALLEL ROUTE 01

Alzueta Gallery presents PARALLEL ROUTE 01, a group exhibition that brings together the work of Antoni Arola, Max Enrich, Klas Ernflo, Júlia Esqué, Marc Morro, Bruno Ollé, Luna Paiva, Jaume Ramírez, Júlia Rossinyol, Octavi Serra, Inés Sistiaga, and Turbina.

This new project approaches design as a parallel route to artistic practice: a path that intersects with art, shares languages, yet pursues other ends, functional, social, material, technological, and historical.

PARALLEL ROUTE 01 proposes a space where design and art do not compete, but rather contaminate, question, and enrich one another.

For this first edition, the Alzueta Gallery posed a dual challenge: designers confronting the limits of dysfunction, and artists exploring the beauty of functionality by creating a piece to sit on. The brief was deliberately open, yet precise enough to generate a shared field of inquiry. The result is not a collection of chairs, but a constellation of responses in which the act of sitting becomes both pretext and territory, a common ground where gesture, structure, materiality, and concept converge.
