M. BENITO ‘Pikete Tuning’ @rekaldearetoa Bilbao Through January 15 Sala Rekalde presents in its window space the exhibition 'Pikete Tuning’ by M. Benito Piriz until January 15, 2023, thus giving continuity to the Barriek program promoted by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia. M. Benito explains that the elements of urban aesthetics such as oversized clothing, sneakers, puff jackets and tribal tattoos or body modifications have been the basis on which they have developed their fetish images. Sculptures that can be understood as transformable elements, combinable and conjoinable pieces. 'Pikete Tuning' can be considered a study of the tribal tattoo of the lower part of the back, which adapts to the body and its postures, being related to their previous project on the accessory and its adaptation to the body. ’Tener pikete’ in Spanish slang means to have style and to have it to Benito's liking. 'Pikete' refers to the outfit, to the look, to the aesthetic sense and tuning to the modification of the appearance of something to make it to their liking. Utilizing "guerrilla tuning" technique; the refinement of vehicles with cardboard and construction foam. #mbenito #sculpture #installationart #salarekalde #bilbao #barriek (en Sala Rekalde) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuBPKVInXq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
