A strenuous work, symbolically close to the glorious although useless effort of the climber in the deed of climbing mountains that, for Fresneda, implies a metaphor about the complexity, perseverance, discouragement and overexertion that art practice implies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, Maximalism has supplemented a further degree of difficulty to the project: to make each one of the routes and to document the entire experience. In order to do so, the artist has had the collaboration of an experienced mountaineer and a whole technical team; an unusual material within artistic processes, but that has served to undertake the absurd accomplishment of climbing an iron sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely, Maximalism plays with the epic of the conquest to, without contemplation, to bring us back to the harsh reality that defines the transience of success\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><br>\u2014David Armengol, 2010.<br>Originally published in La Gesta Imposible &#8211; La Noche en Blanco, MataderoMadrid.
