And back again.»

«One day, I was on my way to get some groceries and stopped by the thrift store Kringwinkel on Kroonstraat (Borgerhout, Antwerp, BE). While looking for some pots, I stumbled upon a charming golden duck and didn’t hesitate to adopt him. Once in the waiting line for the checkout, there were two porcelaine spoons, one on top of the other: someone must have regretted getting them and just left both there. I immediately felt the duck and the spoons were meant for each other — and here they are.»

CAPAREDITORIAL

«There is a direct correlation between the gesture of cutting the top off a tree and extracting its symbolic/cultural power. (...) From one assumed object such as the christmas tree, by an action —in this case to cut-, two new complex objects appear: a tree without its star and a star without its tree. This is an approach to subvert the effect of neuter and re-understand it as a duplication gesture of the aesthetic-symbolic power of an object. This, applied as an artistic methodology, leads to the use of the synecdoche or part by the whole of the same object (...)». PROJECT IN COLLABORATION W/ CARLOS MARTÍN.

ALRASO22 art residency
co-coordination (open call, jury, workshop programme) / visual identity
22nd edition of the artistic residency alRaso, which takes place in the rural environment of Restábal (Granada, es)

Under the title f(olklore) · f(icción), we proposed as a common line the debates around folklore and heritage. Focusing on how the fictitious limits created from the study of PATRIMONY are overflowing and how concepts such as “rural” or “Spanish” are constantly resignified: Folklore does not only speak of the old, the pure or the foreign: folklore is also ours and is alive.
