Pablo Delgado | 2013

PABLO DELGADO | Clean Inn

October 2013 | Stockholm

As this was to be our first 'satellite' show, we decided to invite the London based Mexican artist Pablo Delgado to take over the cult Stockholm gallery space Konstart, which he of course did in his own inevitable way, by creating a conceptual hotel room experience entitled ‘Clean Inn’.

Pablo Delgado is already one of London’s best known street artists, is renowned for his miniature paste up scenes. His early work consisted of small doorways pasted onto the sidewalks of Whitechapel, East London. Soon, the paste ups began to incorporate detailed narrative scenes, meticulously depicting hosts of people, animals and objects in minutia around London. Each scene, on closer inspection, depicting a story.

Clean Inn invited viewers into Pablo's World, and encouraged them to take part in the experience. The artworks became installations, representations of the hotel bed, bathroom, even the television looping disaster scenarios. The pieces invited viewers to engage, to the point of laying on the gallery floor, to view and experience the created scenarios within the installation works. Artworks also included sealed envelopes (artworks enclosed) left at reception and even the bathroom toilet and washbasin. Truly, a show to be experienced

 Don't forget to leave your keys at reception on the way out.
