POL AGUST\u00cd, MAX MIL\u00c0 SERRA AND ESTHER GAT\u00d3N ENTER THE ROOM<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Three artists from VASTO\u2019s programme shape the exhibition. Pol Agust\u00ed, born in Barcelona and based in Mexico City, works between object, ritual and presence, often using clay and recovered materials to create forms that feel simultaneously familiar and difficult to place. Fired at low temperatures, his ceramics preserve traces of gesture, irregularity and fire, giving the material a deliberately direct quality while allowing apparently everyday forms to drift towards something more symbolic.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barcelona-based Max Mil\u00e0 Serra takes a more precise route, bringing engineering, light and perception into minimal structures capable of shifting the atmosphere around them. His works are less concerned with simply illuminating a room than with quietly recalibrating it. Esther Gat\u00f3n, meanwhile, works across sculpture, installation, audiovisual media and text. Her recent pieces use hand-dyed linen produced through slow, non-repeatable processes, turning variations of pigment, time and gesture into part of the work rather than imperfections to be corrected.<\/p>\n

ARCHIVE PIECES JOIN NEW DESIGNS BY SIERRA+DELAHIGUERA<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alongside the artists represented by VASTO, S+DLH introduces pieces from its own design practice, including objects presented publicly for the first time and others recovered from an archive accumulated over the years. Removed from the logic of a conventional showroom, the works are arranged as part of a broader spatial composition in which authorship and category become somewhat less important than proximity, scale and material conversation. A lamp can behave almost like sculpture; a sculpture can begin to feel suspiciously at home.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This deliberate ambiguity sits at the centre of Capsule 04. Under the subtitle Selected to live inside architecture, the exhibition proposes collecting not as the accumulation of isolated statement pieces but as a way of constructing environments over time. Art, furniture, light and found objects are allowed to coexist without a strict hierarchy, forming interiors that feel assembled rather than styled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
