“Intendencia: A Town That Doesn’t Exist” 9/6/2024

“Intendencia: A TownThat Doesn’t Exist” was an art show at Pensacola Florida’s beloved vegan cafe, End of the Line on September 6, 2024. It was his first show in his hometown.

The basis of the show was to depict Pensacola in a magical way via use of a surrogate town called Intendencia. Intendencia is a town very much like Pensacola. Except it doesn’t exist. Not in a way we can ever reach physically, it can only be experienced through art and imagination. It has a base, it has a beach, it has an underground. Its daytime demographics are not much different from its phantom sister city.  But at night, remnants of magic emerge, barely there. After its sun goes down, and the working folk have taken to the bed, weirdness and oddity abound in Intendencia. Kids run the streets in sleds and smash up mailboxes blaring their distorted music from car stereos. Spells are cast, songs are sung, lovers rise and are ruined. Trains are gods, beers are potions, punk bands are choirs. Intendencia looks very familiar. It looks like Pensacola. But it isn’t, it’s Intendencia, a town that doesn’t exist.

11 pieces of art were created for the show were created using found objects and salvaged wood. A novel written by Varg about Intendencia is planned.

Featured pieces will be posted here on Revvarg.com.
