Until March, the Oceanogràfic at the City of Arts and Sciences will be home to an exhibition entitled Skeleton Sea. This is a project launched by the artists Joao Parrinha, Luis de Dios and Xandi Kreuzeder which aims to send a message out to the world about the need to keep our oceans clean.
These are the creative forces behind this original exhibition which features pieces created from flotsam and jetsam collected from the sea and different beaches these artists have visited on their travels around the world.
Skeleton Sea represents a nexus between art and conscience, a perfect union that aims to send out a message of conservation.
In the entrance hall of the Oceanogràfic, you will see works such as Bin Tin, a piece that lives in the abyss and represents the future since it has adapted to the new sea created by humans and has transformed its two stomachs, one with cigarettes and the other with pieces of iron.
Flip Flop is another of the creatures that can be seen by visitors, this time made using flip flops found on the island of Fuerteventura. Some of the other sculptures that make up this exhibition include The Tuna, a piece made from cans of tuna and steel, and Victima Inocente (Innocent Victim) which represents a dolphin created from pieces of neoprene and other waste.
