Arcos

Invited by Concentrico, Jordi Galí and his collaborators came up with the Arcos installation, an in situ creation based on 20 wooden panels. Arcos is a human gesture and a construction project for the Plaza de Santiago in Logroño (Spain), a mineral, bare square punctuated by cypress trees and an opening to the sky and the river Ebro. A 40-metre-long installation on 3 levels, it forms 2 large, soft, vertical arches with wooden panels connected by cables and held together by tensegrity. Built in public, Arcos rises to a height of around 7m. A poetic, abstract and geometric intervention, Arcos is an immense house of cards that echoes the string of cypress trees and the rear façade of Santiago church.
