To be a leaf, to be a stone, to be the earth
Deviations and interruptions to Catalan conceptual art
in progress
How should we read, from the position of what affects us and worries us in the present, those artistic practices that have been defined historiographically as “conceptual” in this context? The aim of the seminar is to offer re-readings and updates that affect and distort the account of contemporary art history in Catalonia and the Spanish State.
What are the effects of looking at the practices of artists such Fina Miralles, Eulàlia, Àngels Ribé and Carlos Pazos from a perspective of feminism or queer thinking? If historiography tended to suggest parallels with American conceptual art, what deviations from the hegemonic narrative are produced if we relate these practices to conceptualisms in Latin America, where, in several countries there were also dictatorial regimes? If the story of conceptual art has focused on the axiom of dematerialistion, how should one read the importance of the material component in much of what Catalan conceptual art offers?
Directed by Maite Garbayo Maeztu. With the participation of Andrea Valdés, Pilar Bonet, Fernando Davis and El Palomar.
The activity is held in the MACBA Meier Auditorium, but you can also follow it live on the museum’s website and YouTube channel.
