“Kuboa” an intervention by Julio Le Parc
At 91 years old, the Argentine artist Julio Le Parc (Mendoza, 1928) produced the largest work to date. Kuboa is a mobile 10 meters in perimeter and one ton of weight, made up of 2,660 pieces of polished stainless steel, created on-site for the Tabakalera Plaza in San Sebastián, an institution that, like the rest of the museums in Spain, reopened its doors on June 1, 2020.
“Kuboa” transforms public spaces and brings visitors closer to a key figure, as the artist, a pioneer in establishing a new relationship between art and its audiences, accessibility, and enjoyment. It is the first series of interventions in one of the most charismatic public spaces of this building dedicated to culture. The Escala project, with sound interventions on the stairs, and the Espiral for new audiovisual formats, are future initiatives that will join this line of work.
