The contextual art projects of Spanish artist SpY are among the most original and talked-about contributions in the evolution from urban art to public art. Throughout his career, SpY’s practice has developed into an increasingly spectacular body of large-scale installations and interventions, ever more ambitious and impactful, produced in cities across the world.

SpY interpellates viewers while engaging them as active subjects in the artistic process. He works with incisive concepts and strong formal approaches, raising substantial questions about the reality of human relations. His projects dialogue with the urban environment, disrupt its daily routines, and explore it as a playing field full of untapped possibilities.

With his large-scale installation MATRIZ, SpY brings order to emptiness: the work is composed of a three-dimensional grid structure made of black rectangles, suspended in mid-air. The grid of precisely arranged black forms seems to defy gravity - crafted with architectural precision, it floats in the air, imposing a strict and silent geometry on the space. Installed in the Turbine Hall of the power plant, the composition creates a stunning spatial configuration of floating corridors and columns that visitors can walk through and experience. This hovering structure accommodates not functions but sensations. As the viewer moves through the piece, they become part of it - their sense of scale blurs, caught in constant tension with the structure, measuring distances, recalculating proportions, and trying to orient themselves within the precise pattern.
