Hundreds of citizens witnessed today the urban performance of Íñigo Manglano-Ovalle as it passed through the streets of the Old Quarter of Pamplona, until it reached the Cathedral, where it will remain on display. With it the activities of the Museum of the University of Navarra are inaugurated.

Manglano-Ovalle's installation, which consisted of a white geodesic dome (a hemispherical structure), was intended to integrate art into the daily life of the city, in order to foster a climate of dialogue and interaction with the work and the artist. Thus, numerous citizens took pictures with it and with the climate study balloons, recorded videos with their cameras and phones, and danced next to the elements of the installation.

Íñigo Manglano-Ovalle and 20 collaborating students assembled the dome first thing in the morning in front of the Museum of Navarre, and then made ephemeral installations in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Paseo Sarasate and Plaza del Castillo. Finally, they moved to the medieval kitchen of the Cathedral Museum, the place chosen by the artist to exhibit the installation. This enclosure presents a design related to the study of the climate, a recurring theme in Manglano-Ovalle's work and on which this traveling art exhibition has been based.

Likewise, the harmony between the medieval architecture and the contemporary work of art has served "to reflect on the validity and universality of art when it is born from a serious, sincere creative action, directed by a work process in which the artist only longs to achieve the objectives that inspire him," said those responsible for the Museum of the University of Navarra.

For their part, the participating students highlighted the opportunity to have collaborated with an internationally renowned artist, and Manglano-Ovalle expressed his satisfaction for the good reception shown by the public.
