SET Espai d'Art (Valencia)
Selfies, avatars and boys by / javi moreno.
The exhibition </hipertexto2014> deals with the staging of the teen desire on the web 2.0 and reflects on the prohibition of representing the child body as a desirable body. The show of this artist from Alicante opens on May 23th at the SET Espai d'Art (Valencia) and can be visited until June 28.

Snapshots taken with mobile devices and quickly posted on social networks (selfies), digital interfaces, emoticons and gadgets are all visual material to deconstruct so that they can make evident identity power devices that drive and define images of the contemporary amateur digital paradigm. The drift on the WWW is the northern point for a massive working process on the series </hipertexto2014>: first of all, the artist collected amateur images where the boy shows its desires and pleasures, secondly modifies in a pictorial way these images and finally publishes periodically the painted images with the original ones on his blog http://hipertexto2014.tumblr.com/.
The exhibition </hipertexto2014> by / javi moreno is presented in the SET Espai d'Art (Valencia), where some of the pieces created so far in the series can be found.
They are a takeover, the continuation of the opened series </hipertexto2009> (developed under identical conditions). The artist himself, who spent ten years researching plastically on erotic and pornographic teen (auto)productions on the net, proposes us in this sample a selection of his latest works which formally introduced the cut, cóllage and the expansion of the planar format towards an installative drawing. In addition, in order to make evident the evolution between the current series and its preceding one namesake, generates a dialog with some parts of </hipertexto2009> and the L ^^ series made in 2013.
</hipertexto2014>, which covers the artist plastic work on 2014 (still in progress), deepens into the unrepresentable things, the sexualized body of the teenager. Between ethnographic diary and private points, the last proposal of / javi moreno aims to dodge the notion of the truth implicit on the photographic medium, and allows the legitimate view of disident bodies for the heteronormative order and the adult – minor power logic.
