Presented in both of the gallery's spaces, Coco Capitán's inaugural exhibition, Mondays Are Fridays , brings together paintings on canvas and sailcloth, photographs, poems, drawings, sculptures, and publications. Born in Seville in 1992, and having paradoxically had to work on commissions to finance her fine arts studies in London, where she now lives, Coco Capitán was encouraged from an early age to infuse her personal research into her commissioned work, establishing a clear continuity in her practice between experimentation and application. Through intimate references to sailing, childhood, sport, and dreams, Mondays Are Fridays explores a body of work where the subversion of symbols, humor, melancholy, and a keen sense of the aphorism are all ways of holding on.
At JKG Vaugirard, the exhibition embraces the diversity of techniques that bear witness to an artist whose "practice, in recent years, has become increasingly complex and interdependent" (Simon Baker, "Coco Capitán: On the Other Side…", Busy Living , Loose Joints, 2019).
Drawing on painting, drawing, and the art of the slogan, Imagination Investments (2025) mimics the visual communication of financial institutions—here, ING Bank and its emblematic lion—and reminds us that we must dream. Or that we must breathe, as in Breathable Air, Inc. (2020), a document drawn like a photographic image.
