In Real Time is a performative action that subtly accompanies us to sharpen our senses. Mar Serinyà offers us an action where the voice, the sound of the monochord and the audiovisual image combine to create a real-time experience. Her artistic practice is intimately related to her vital research. To carry it out, Mar uses […]
There is no act of artistic creation without Colleen's total presence - physical, mental and emotional - in front of her working tools.

Halfway between fetishism and accumulation, book collecting is, like any other collecting, a personal and subjective practice. Each book in a collection tells the story of why it is there, while at the same time telling us about the person who decided to make it so. With the intention of aesthetically and conceptually exploring his […]
The multidisciplinary practice of Julia Aurora Guzmán (Santo Domingo, 1993) oscillates between sculpture, textiles, photography and performance, and emerges as a response to a profound exploration of the transitory cycles in human life, paying special attention to threshold moments. Her works honour births, deaths and tend to the present, becoming sensorial metaphors for the search […]
On the occasion of the closing of the exhibition Spirito portatile, we invite you to the unfolding of Acuario, a work by Laura Zuccaro conceived as a two-coloured hanging canvas, with a poem that can only be read from the inside.

Taking its name from the German thinker Walter Benjamin's description of the aura, this exhibition looks at the contemporary manifestation of distance: the distance between things, ideas and ourselves. In an era of connectivity, why does everything seem so far apart? Drawing from libraries, archives and flea-markets in both Barcelona and London, Louis Porter has […]
