Outro e sobre si is a project by Santiago de Compostela-born artist Andrés Rodís, developed as part of the first edition of the ArtLab IGFAE | REGA Residency between February and April 2026. The works presented by Andrés Rodís in this exhibition stem from research into structures of duplicity within painterly practice through an interdisciplinary dialogue with quantum physics.
The exhibition delves into the concept of superposition and explores new avenues for artistic practice, inviting visitors to share in the artist's pursuit of the boundaries and edges of the artwork, as well as his exploration of the particle, astroparticle, and nuclear physics research and experiments carried out at the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE).
Comprising 25 pieces—including mixed-technique paintings, collages, digital prints, and a video projection—the exhibition originated during Andrés Rodís's residency at the IGFAE facilities and the City of Culture in Santiago de Compostela, where he explored the latent potential of everyday objects.
Visitors can enjoy free entry to the exhibition at Gaiás Centre Museum through January 10, 2027.
Breaking with classic notions of duplicity
Conversations with IGFAE researchers, time spent in the Institute’s nuclear and quantum research labs and the Radiophysics Laboratory of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, alongside engagement with concepts such as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the double-slit experiment, and Karen Barad’s perspectives on scientific epistemology, provided the inspiration for Outro e sobre si.
In the artist's own words, this approach "does not seek a metaphorical, analogical, or illustrative correspondence between quantum physics and art, given that each field operates within its own specific language and knowledge base. Instead, readings, dialogues, images, and practices created an intermediate space of reception where those distinct areas of knowledge could intersect, giving rise to a series of works that, like an atlas, remain continuously open."

Andrés Rodís (Santiago de Compostela, 2000) holds a Fine Arts degree from Universitat Politècnica de València and a Master’s in Art Research and Creation from Universidade do País Vasco. He is currently pursuing a PhD at Universidade de Vigo.
He has earned regional and national recognition, including the XIV Premio Auditorio de Galicia para Artistas Noveis (2025), the Best Emerging Artist Award at SWAB (2025), and the Cátedra Adegas Faustino & Willy Ramos grant to Paris (2022). He has been selected for national artist residencies, such as Residencias Artísticas Celestino Cuevas (Reinosa, 2025), where he developed the project Contacto, contorno, and the 11 Residencia de Creación e Investigación Artística (Museu da Universitat d'Alacant, 2025) with the project Ad'dad: el engaño de la ortiga.
Notable exhibitions include Las esquilas las estrellas at Galería Lumbreras (Bilbao, 2025), Isabelle Dinoire at Espacio Peculiar (Oleiros, A Coruña, 2025), Gramática de superficie at Galería NÉBOA (Lugo, 2024), and the group exhibition Territorio Contemporánea 2025 at Sala ABANCA (Santiago de Compostela, 2025). His work is included in public and private collections such as Piramidón, Centre D´Art Contemporani, Colección Norte Gobierno de Cantabria, Fundación Campocerrado, KELLS Art Collection, Colección de Arte MANGO, Juntas Generales de Bizkaia, and Museu de la Universitat d'Alacant.
