ONADES FLORALS // Outdoors intervention

This spring I have participated in a Outdoors flowers 
Festival in Calella, a beautiful small town in Costa 
Brava in Catalonia.
It was about to decorate the walking way around 
the Hotel Sant Roc and the courtyard terrace.
I made an ephemeral instalation with a base
of big plane flowers lined with severals colour
ful prints.
The intention was to acompany the visitors to
the terrace pèrgola decoration.
The instalation starts with a big waves painted
with sprai, as a graffitti in the both sides of 
the narrow street. The waves converted to 
flowers in a sort of tunnel, made with textil
colours strips, all the way is decorate with big
flowers till we arrive to the garden Hotel, 
where we found the pèrgola, and the trees with
more flowers.
I create a colourful and elegant ambientation for
costumers and visitors to this beautiful old 
and familiar Hotel, that has the best views of
Calella.
This time I had the nice pictures made by 
Ju Uroz, I want to thank for the colaboration.

BIN // street Intervention

I had the opportunity to participate in a street recycling

Art festival in Sant Cugat, near Barcelona.

10 artist work in a one day event, making and doing our

art in live, with a wrapping, packets allready used, 

I constructed and sculpture, the idea is that all the waste 

soap and others house packets where falling from a bin,

I use the contrast between the urban space and the colours

objects of the sculpture, all in plastic.

The Bin is hanged up in a pergola, making the visual

sensation of all the packets falling down, but without 

touch the urban floor.

The intention is to make surprise, and contrast, and humor

to the pedestrians and visitors.

The Italian artist Marzia Lami made this great video of the
festival art-residency And'art 09, where I was participating.
That happened in morocco in the city of tanger.

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.

AND'ART tanger // outside work

We made a project at the outside Haddad theater

with the three artist I was collaborating with: Rocca,

Mia and Stephanie. We decided to do an sculptur-action

in the street because we found fundamental to interact

with the residents.

From Casabarata market we found objects that we

transformed to a presents for the children. We

used a lot of colour ropes to hang them out.

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!

DER ZEBRASTREIFEN // Street Intervention

We made this work in berlin, in a neightborhood called

Neukölln, where happens a festival called 48 Stunden.

In this area lives a lot of people with social problems and

few money. With this street work we tried to open peoples

mind.

The idea is very simple and eye-catching. One day seeing

a zebra crossing came the idea to make it real, puting a

zebra pattern fabric on the white street lines.

Printed sample of the material we did use.
