Neutrinos Carlos Medina
Galerie Denise René, Paris. Marzo 2023
The Denise René Gallery in Paris presents in March 2023 the personal exhibition Neutrinos. Carlos Medina, who brings together a set of his plastic investigations on neutrinos, an invisible particle that reaches us from the cosmos and passes through everything
with its powerful energy that comes from the sun.
Adopting a minimalist aesthetic, Medina seeks to make imperceptible phenomena visible, and here, with his geometric interpretation of the microcosm of neutrinos, he offers a study of this essential form of matter, present since his first drawings and sculptures. This exhibition is accompanied by a catalog with texts by the French critic Domitille D'Orgeval.
Whether through space interventions, drawings on canvas, interventions on paper or even space sculptures, in this exhibition we will be able to discover and share with Medina the journey of his Neutrinos.

Madrid Luxury Art, Madrid, España, febrero - junio 2023
Carlos Medina presents his sculpture Círculo y cuadrado (Calle Ortega y Gasset, 13) in Madrid, thanks to the invitation from AGM Art Management to participate in Madrid Luxury Art, a tour of fourteen outdoor sculptures curated by María Luz Cárdenas. Venezuelan sculptors also participate: Rafael Barrios and Sydia Reyes, as well as Fernando Botero, Jaume Plensa, Baltasar Lobo and Manolo Valdez, among other Latin American sculptors.
Made of mirror-polished stainless steel, and taking up one of his studies on geometric shapes in the seventies, the Circle and Square piece complies with Medina's premises in terms of suspending or “floating” the elements; this time he achieves it through reflection, which also integrates the environment and even the viewer into the sculpture.
Also an intervention in the store of the Italian watch brand Panerai, presenting two of its pieces from the Fragmento de lluvia series, directly carved in solid aluminum, are part of this tour.

Neutrino spheres
Specials Projects Pinta, Miami, USA, December 2022
As part of the Special Projects section, curated by critic Félix Suazo; Carlos Medina is invited to carry out an intervention in the gardens of The Hangar spaces, the setting for the Pinta 2022 art fair. The selected project is Neutrino spheres (Neutrino spheres), two spheres of 2.5 meters each that Medina had presented in 2018 when intervening in the gardens of the Palais Royal in Paris.
With an active participation of the public these ephemeral pieces. the artist achieves the interaction and connection with these elements that reinterpret two huge drops of dew on the grass, while they are traversed by their neutrinos.
In parallel to that time of fairs, Medina participates in the same Pinta fair with the GBG Art gallery and is present with a selection of works in the end-of-year exhibition at Ascaso Gallery, in the city of Miami.

Mouvement. Hommage à Denise René
Bonisson Art Center, Rognes, Francia, October 2022
This exhibition is held in recognition of the French gallery owner Denise René, and her memorable exhibition Le Mouvement, held in 1955, with which she promoted knowledge of geometric, optical and kinetic art throughout the world.
From the beginning of his gallery, he promoted those who became masters of these trends: Agam, Bury, Calder, Cruz-Diez, Le Parc, Morelet, Soto, Tanguely, Vasarely among others; a relay that has continued Denis Kilian, current director of the gallery, actively presenting collective and personal exhibitions of renowned artists of contemporary geometry.
Sponsored by Christian Le Dorze, director of the Bonisson Art Center, and curated by Denis Killian, this exhibition confirms the validity of this trend, integrating the gallery's artists who, through several generations, continue to make geometry his livelihood. of his proposals and artistic discourse, including Carlos Medina, whose spatial intervention Fragment de pluie essentiel and Neutrino Bague 5 (Neutrino Ring 5) are included in this exhibition.

Wood Transformation
Galerija Božidar Jakac (GBJ) - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. Kostanjevica na Krki, Slovenia, October - February, 2023
From October 2022 to February 19, 2023, the group exhibition Wood Transformation at Galerija Božidar Jakac - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Kostanjevica na Krki, Slovenia, shows 50 works by Croatian artists from the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art (NMMU) in Zagreb, Croatia, and 18 works by artists from the GBJ collection, including that of Venezuelan artist Carlos Medina (Homage to Bolívar, 1982).
Medina's inclusion in this exhibition and in the museum's collection responds to his work and participation in events with international and regional sculptors during the eighties. Among the artists who accompany Medina, we mention those known or referenced in his experience during the Forma Viva Symposium (1982): Dora Kovačević, Ivan Meštrović, Ivan Picelj, Dušan Tršar, Šime Vulas.
Wood Transformation highlights the importance of wood, trees and forests for the survival of human beings, as well as their relationship with nature. Selected works reveal astonishing forms of wood as a primary natural material in the myriad transformations over the last hundred years. The exhibition is curated by Tatijana Gareljić (NMMU), in collaboration with Miha Colner (GBJ).

Medina: Círculos y planos. Sculptures1988 - 2000
Villandry Espacio Cultural. Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Since April 2022
In this exhibition that remains for practically a whole year, Espacio Villandry recognizes the artist Carlos Medina and carries out this exhibition with works never before exhibited, which were made when he returns to Venezuela from Italy, Carrara where he lived for seven years, developing studies and techniques of stone sculpture. In Barquisimeto, his hometown, he retake steel and iron, materials that he had already worked with in his beginnings, and there he produces this series of sculptures, based on deconstructed circles, which create shapes and planes that move us to discover the origin and deployment of each circle.In parallel with his works in metal, he develops a wide series of sculptures in wood, like Cylinders, and we can say are erected through planes made in direct carvings on wood and suggest a geometry in movement.
Even though his current work has evolved towards a spatial proposal, with elements suspended in an interpretation of the cosmos and nature, this series of works were part of the evolutionary process towards his contemporary proposal, and in some of them, he already integrates his spatial concept. This selection is part of the 103 works planned for an individual exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Caracas (2003), but which, due to the departure of its director, Sofía Imber, did not take place.

Beyond the Visible
Ascaso Gallery - Miami. May - September 2021
Ascaso Gallery presents in its new space in Miami, the exhibition Beyond the visible by Carlos Medina, who has brought from Paris, city where he resides, his proposals to creates in Miami a novel group of works on his plastic investigations of Neutrinos; along with other works of his series Surfaces that relate light, shadows and geometric abstraction. The exhibition, accompanied by a catalog written by Adriana Herrera, PhD, will be open until September, 2021.
According to Herrera, “the inexhaustible vein of his art comes from this dual faculty of clearly perceiving two orders. The first responds to the perfect visible geometry: to discover in the rain, as he says, 'the fragment of a line suspended in a diagonal circumstance'. That order is the source of his drops sculpted in wood or metals and arranged as precipitations in his spatial interventions.” The second order is inspired by the no less perfect geometry that, as the title of this exhibit points out to us, it is Beyond the visible. “If geometric abstraction developed in a manner foreign to the visible world, voluntarily separated from all referential links of the image, the renovation of Carlos Medina’s work stems from his approach to the real geometry of the visible and invisible”, says Herrera.
Beyond the Visible will display 48 artworks including spatial interventions, suspended sculptures and wall-mounted pieces. Medina explains: “I seek uncover the shadows that live from light and to make visible the energy and substance of the neutrino particles, that being eternal and invisible can pass through everything.” Since the seventies, anticipating even the first scientific images of these particles, he investigated this essential form of matter in multiple media.

Presentation of the book:
Medina.De lo Material a lo Esencial
Denise René Gallery - Paris. November 2017
On Tuesday, November 21, the act for the presentation of the MEDINA book will be held. From the material to the essential, at the Denise René Gallery -Rive Gauche- in Paris. Written by the curator and art critic, Dr. Bélgica Rodríguez, this 360-page book reveals the journey of the artist Carlos Medina during more than 40 years of research and unstoppable work. A work that, always starting from geometric abstraction, explores innumerable materials and processes, shapes and phenomena. From his sculptures and carvings or his large formats integrated into a spatial discourse, he evolves towards the dematerialization of volume and the taking over of space, in which matter is only present within the limits of a new suggested mass. His search: a geometric interpretation of the universe through essence, light and the imperceptible.
With a prologue by Rafael Cadenas, the great Venezuelan poet, winner of the Cervantes Award for Literature, it is a book conceived as a piece of art, and its cover includes bas-relief neutrinos. It is made under the graphic concept of Zilah Rojas, who interprets the purism of the artist, incorporating the drawings that precede his three-dimensional creation to show them as two-dimensional works faithful to his concept.It is a publication edited and printed in Paris, under the coordination of Éditions Hermann in its two versions, Spanish - English and Spanish - French, with translations by Dag Buxell (English) and Carlos Parra Pérez (French).

Fragments Essentiels -Essentials Fragments-
Espace Meyer Zafra - Paris: May 2017
The solo show Fragments Essentiels by Carlos Medina at Espace Meyer Zafra, is his first individual exhibition in Paris. There, he presents the most contemporary elements of his work.
Spatial interventions as fragmented realities such as rain or the travel of particles from the cosmos, are interpreted by the artist like interventions called: Space cylinders, Rain fragments and Neutrinos, which create an atmosphere of essential and spatial nature. In contrast, his new Surfaces like a fragment of silence in the Imperceptible Surfaces, intervened with polished aluminum bars to intertwine a minimum reading between those three pieces of 100 x 100 cm (39 x 39 in.) each one, while in the case of the Essential Surfaces they create a rhythm between the volumes and voids that are integrated into eight works of 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 in.) each.
This exhibition is curated by the architect Mauricio Alfonso and presents us with a catalog in the form of a plaquette, with a text by the critic Bélgica Rodríguez.

Ascaso Gallery - Miami. February 2016
Essential, is the first individual exhibition that Carlos Medina has carried out at Ascaso Gallery Miami, and focuses above all on his spatial interventions in which the main protagonist on this occasion is nylon, representing light itself with its reflections, transparencies, or as a medium. to suspend the sculptural elements.
This exhibit is composed by the spatial interventions: Cylinders that represent the journey of imperceptible particles, Bouncing Water, Square of Light, and new approaches to its Rain Fragments and Neutrinos. These settings are accompanied by a series of Surfaces with metal rod inserts that reproduce multiple real and virtual planes.

The Fundación Gabinete del Dibujo y la Estampa of Valencia and the Topel Páez collection, on occasion of their ninth anniversary, present Carlos Medina’s work from the last fifteen years, which goes beyond the formal limits known by the sculpture; thus, threads, leaves, geometry, surface, drops, fawned paper and subatomic particles meet within a discourse making the space be the sculpture object by means of the line. Likewise, the resizing of the paper may be witnessed, in which the folding becomes a volumetric state, and the spatial sublimity is projected throughout the line and the dot, the essential elements of drawing.
