Isaac Cordal (Pontevedra, 1974) was trained in the Pontevedra School of Fine Arts, with a degree specializing in sculpture.

His set designs are perfectly calculated, having a grand impact in their narratives, assimilating many diverse, visual fields, from installations to audiovisual or musical creations.  He proposes an experimental form of performance in which he is the creator of occurrences where nothing happens by chance.  He questions concepts about the roots of creation from the point of view of interrogative theatre, influencing the intentions of the spectator.

Isaac Cordal is a part of the “Alg-a” platform, a group of artists that shape an “underwater community of free digital art.”  Together, with names such as Berio Molina, or the association of electronic art, Ludd34560, they perform using forms and methods of sonorous creation, interpretation, production, and presentation.

His exposition, presented in the JM Gallery, is comprised of four installations, the development of each corresponding to one of the last four years.  The gallery halls have been transformed into a theatre of ghostly shadows where the representation of the human being, through modelling and drawings, using elements such as wire and light, reconstructs a world between fiction and reality.  Beds with absent bodies, shadows of characters, double figures, disfigured faces, and masks are projected in a dynamic and sophisticated production that uses meagre materials in order to avoid any technological pretension.

His latest, most notable expositions, performances, and interventions include, from 2003: “Metro botanique”, “Vertical”, Highschool Sint Lukas, “Transmedia”, Beursschouwburg, “Film Avendunterhaltung”, Espace Marx, in Brussels.  From 2004: “IFI Extensible”, MARCO, in Vigo and CGAC, in Santiago de Compostela.  From 2005:  “Census”, in Edinburgh, and “Zepplin” in Barcelona.  From 2006,  “Urbanitas” and “Census”, MARCO, in  Vigo, “Laberinto de Museos”, Cervantes Institute of Beijing, China, and Zemos 98, in Sevilla, in 2006 and 2007.
