FINDING JOY AT EVERY TURN
ARTIST STATEMENT Zubillaga, Gonzalo Kansas City, MO October 11 2024
After 18 years of travels, living by necessity in three different continents South America, Europe, and now North America. I have learned much about shifting paradigms in very different idiosyncrasies that are ruled by these shifting contexts. I am interested in The Arts of Time, for a particular reason, that reason is to live in Kairos. An ancient notion of a Time well spent, for the Greeks, the opportune time, and for Western civilization of our Ancient/Renaissance common time, “The Time of God”.
I am interested in art that questions our humanity, where are we going?, How we are living?, why we are so sure these advancements of the technological meritocracy era are baring the true prosperity and greater good we seek, How does it relate to us in the culture where we equate Time with money?
My music and interdisciplinary projects come to ask questions and bring about a set of diagnoses of the state of things, in the paradox in which this world exists, from an artistic perspective. I wish to bring more conversation, and engagement in the communities in which I am involved, relationships that are not based on a utilitarian view of ourselves. Pieces that re-direct the conversation to a deeper resonance with the ultimate source of it all, Love.
Our Story
The Zubillagas and Kairos
Kairos and Zubillaga’s: The Logo, was designed by The Zubillaga’s. Zubi in basque means bridge and Zubillaga means place of bridges. My wife Kim helped me build the logo for Kairos on Canva and Later recorded the wave of her voice saying, “in Kairos”.
​
Kairos comes from the two concepts of time of the ancient Greeks and the idea that a more realistic and accurate relationship with time this Kairos, in contrast with Cronos, is an experience that is not measurable. The right time. Christians adopted it as God’s time, which is absolute and perfect—a gift in the ever-expansive present.
