This exhibition is the third stage of a continuing artistic structure called The Rain Project. Marta Fernández Calvo has developed The Rain Project with Irish musician Chequerboard and Spanish artist Paco Ramos as guest collaborators over 2008 and 2009. The work refers to the eighteen different words used in the japanese language to describe rain: from subtle spring rain to the rain shower, from the rain storm to the hailstorm. The overall project represents the formalization of an itinerant process, based upon the localization and the mapping process of rain in different urban scenarios. The artwork had involved three cities: Milan, Logroño and Dublin.

This is what happens when you are not here starts from an analysis of the exhibition space. Last Sunday,  as I was in the exhibition space, the light there changed within seconds and minutes, in quick fadings in and out. Rather than being stable, everything seemed to move in a frenetic wave of changing intensities. I focused my attention on the traces of light that penetrated through the windows near the ceiling. A large, discontinuous line of light divided the space in two parts with different brightnesses and luminosities. I decided to make things happen in the lightest part. The exhibition is presented as a live organism; a process sensitive to light and time as a way of being in the space.

On Thursday 25th June, there will be an event within the space. The aim is to show installation ‘site specific reactions’ to Paco’s and Chequerboard’s entrance into the space and to celebrate the first time that the three of us will meet in the same space at the same time. The rain will become for us, a way to explore the hybrid descriptions between installation, performance, illustration, sound and the great pleasure of working together.
