Ad 728×90
The first thing that catches our eye upon visiting the Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art, located in the former La Cartuja Monastery in Seville, is a giant sculpture that appears trapped inside a house. It is 'Alice,' the famous character from Lewis Carroll, here recalling the passage in which the protagonist grows until seh surpasses the size of the house that accomodates her.
'Alicia' is a work by the Andalusian artist Cristina Lucas, created in 2009 for Córdoba's nomination to become European Capital of Culture in 2016. The sculpture was initially installed in a well-known courtyard in Córdoba.
Later, in 2013, it was moved to its current location in Seville. The piece depicts an enormous female figure who seems trapped inside a house, with her face and right arm peeking out of the windows.
