STRIPS // Drapart festival barcelona

strips

Photo by Enric Miralles


My last street intervention STRIPS speaks about
the forgotten old objects and materials, about our
memory and how far we can remember the feeling,
the touch and the smell of somethings that never will
come back again.
I' ve been inside the old jerseys factory where I took
the fabric peaces, was so touching and amazing, some
fabric machines still left with the material still attached
to the machine, aswell I found so many sample books
and other amazing things. There was no artificial light,
only the light coming from the windows, a large round
spinning machine was in the middle of the huge and
beautifull grey room. I won't forget the sensation to be
there. Now its a forgotten place, but I could feel all the
fabric and material sorrounding me as if they were
completly alive.

AND'ART tanger // exhibition

And'art, that means visions in Arabic it's a new itinerant

art-music festival in Morocco. In this first edition the

festival has been happening in the city of Tanger. We

were a total of 20 participants counting musicians,

filmmakers, photografers, painters and sculptors. Was so

good to be together with people from differents nationalities,

including of courses moroccans artists. In my group we were

4 people, for some days we moved around the city and

discussed and talked about our impression and feelings.

Next we started working in a project together and

aswell in a individual piece.

The two pictures above are from the market called

"Casabarata", It was amazing for me to discovered,

I love this place, you can find everything, full of energy.

I spoke to some people from there and they told me

more about the place. Three months ago, in the night

some diggers came and pulled down parts of the market,

nobody could tell me why they did it. The first picture

shows how is the situation now. The consequence is that

some people are looking in the ruins trying to find metal

or things which they can sell.

This is how I started recollecting and looking for materials

and objects for my individual piece.

So many children came to see the exhibition,

was really good to see them looking the pieces.

In the schools they don't have any art subject.

For "Casabarata" piece I used found objects,

colour ropes, part of old tree, wire, potato

wrapers and biscuits.

This work its called "Awama" because it's the

name of the area close to theatre Mohamed

Haddad, where we were working.

All the parts of this sculptur are from around

the theater.

PATCHWORLD // flyer

That's the flyer I made for my last exhibition

called Patchworld. It's a big instalation made

with Textil waste materials. Amazing samples

from the 70ths and 80ths.

The openning was on the 2nd october in the

Oficial Language School in Granollers, a city

next to Barcelona, and will be on untill middle

of december. Big Love.

PATCHWORLD // exhibition

Wandergallery gave me the oportunity to work

for 2 weeks and a half in EOI (escola oficial de Idiomes),

and it was fantastic. I was going everyday in the morning

and leaving in the night, doing my art in the corridors,

meeting the students, talking to them and beeing inspired

from the way they behave.

All the materials I used for the installation were from and

old textil factory that had to close down. I arrived to the

school one morning with all the stuff, having only some ideas

in my head. That's the reason I really enjoyed doing this

work-in-progress.

One part of the installation it's made it with

cardboard textil samples, they are very old,

and most of the patterneted very funny,

have a look.

One of the bench covered with samples and

finished with tape.

...doing lines with the cardboard samples at the

corridors walls, clossing somehow the toilets and

the classroom doors, some of the students didn't

know what to do.... just first day.

In one wall it's this big fish made it with fabric

samples, they were used for the sweaters sellers,

they could show to the clients the material.

In the last room of the installation I inspired myself

with a kind of Haima, I wanted to give to the students

the oportunity to relax and enjoy the class breaks,

making them to feel good and positive, with a special

energy, created because of the falling threads, the

fabric samples and the fluorescent red-pink light.

My intention after this good-positive feeling it's to

make them thinking about this new place, that is

completly diferent that what they could expect.

The bench and the paper basket aswell covered

with fabric sample, I really love to see people

smilling and surprise.

The floor looks pretty warm and confortable,

ready to lie down.

ACTION ZEITUNG PAINTING // 48 Stunden

I made this instalation as an Action painting, open to everybody
who felt to paint and wanted to express oneself to the others.

It was in the 48 Stunden Neukölln Festival in berlin, they gave me
a 40 sq/m basement very dirty and humid, I didn't have any

money to invest....this is how I dicided to use newspaper, aswell

because in Deutschland some of the newspapers haven a

very beauty and well-made pictures.

I used for this work a lot of newspapers, glue, rubish bags,

eggs boxes, cardboard, plastic colour rope, paint and plaster.

Openning party was fun, people were using

the newspapers walls, painting and writting

the feelings. I was happy to see that!

FREE ART EXHIBITION

pa tothom

This work was made in Pa tothom (theatre school) in barcelona.

This people make a social theatre that help other people to

resolve social problems. They gave me the entrance room to use.

I made a kind of Square, a reunion place for the students and visitors.

The instalation is made with used material, and parts of

decorations I did use when I was working as a windowdresser.

I used cartoon found in the street, colour light, diferents

plastic objects like dolls, chrisma's stuff, etc... red fabric,

adhesive tape, colour plastic sheet, optical paper and more.
