The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to announce that from 30 August to 10 September, "Ajuntament Vell" exhibition space will host "Absorción" by visual artist Laura Larocca and collaborating artist Lucas Marín.

Sweeping through the room like a tide, the installation features paintings of varying formats, a work table and a film in which the artist shines a light on the experience of Formentera landscapes. "Absorción" also showcases the marine sponge skeletons with which Larocca crafts her paintings.

Schooled in Fine Arts in her native Argentina, Larocca has displayed work in Italy, Finland and France. For the three years she has called Formentera home, a special agreement with the Balearic Ministry of Environment has coupled Larocca's artistic research with found marine sponges.

"Absorción" opens Monday 29 August at 8.00pm and can be seen at Sala d'Exposicions "Ajuntament Vell" from Monday to Saturday, 11.00am to 2.00pm and 7.00pm to 9.00pm.

The exhibition space is closed Sundays, bank holidays and Monday mornings.
