Notes for an Eye Fire Panorama 21

Ana Domínguez is a graphic designer and art director. She has worked across editorial, digital, product and exhibition design and on corporate identities and projects for fashion houses, artists and art institutions.

Formed in 2013 by Mariokissme and R. Marcos Mota, the artist duo behind El Palomar continue to embrace a wide range of disciplines, including video, performance, music, limited editions and curatorial projects that generate critical discourses around the politics and poetics of sexual dissidence.

Laia Estruch’s practice hinges on the voice as a material reality—an expressive force and a medium that is expelled from the body. Over the last ten years, her work has broached the fields of contemporary art, spoken word and experimental theatre.

Arash Fayez’s practice investigates conditions of displacement and notions such as statelessness and in-betweenness. His enquiries into liminal spaces, geographic or otherwise, take the form of writing, performance and video.

Antoni Hervàs presents enthusiastic, vividly coloured, genre-bending explorations of the possibilities of drawing that often deal with overlooked aspects of subversive popular spectacle, from carnival and burlesque to synchronised swimming and amusement parks.

For Rasmus Nilausen, painting is intuitive and instantaneous—like talking—yet also deliberate and editable—like writing. Nilausen revels in the elision of brushstrokes with text, image, word, symbol and quotation.

nyamnyam is an arts collective and collaborative force that focuses on ways of working above and beyond making works by creating context and process before—or instead of—production or presentation. Pedro Pineda designs what he describes as ‘holistic, intended physical experiences’.

Claudia Pagès’s artistic practice spins a linguistic web of micro-narratives, queer poetry and rhythmic speech as she explores the possibilities of staging the voice through music and the presence of bodies. She is particularly interested in systems of distribution, circulation and consumption.

Aleix Plademunt’s artistic practice is rooted in photography and publishing. Driven by a thirst for observing, discovering, questioning and understanding, he collects images while forging unexpected connections between all that inhabits our planet and beyond.

Marria Pratts is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice exudes an uninhibited, spontaneous spirit. Her artistic output includes a repertoire of decidedly varied formats. Drawing, painting, sculpture, carpets, furniture and fanzines combine playful energy with a bright and optimistic colour palette.

Originally trained as an architect before turning towards visual art, Stella Rahola Matutes nevertheless continues to address placemaking and situational spatial encounters in her practice. By exploring craft techniques, especially glassblowing, her works extol our primordial capacity to produce knowledge with our hands.

Through sculpture, video, spoken word, photography and performance, Eulàlia Rovira’s meticulous practice has explored a range of fields, including perception, etymology and archaeology.

Ruta de autor combines archival and historical research from a range of disciplines to investigate the city. Its walking tours through public spaces act as a conduit for bringing people together while generating critical perspectives on official narratives by peeling back the multiple layers of a city’s history from its streets, architecture and monuments.

Adrian Schindler’s practice is rooted in performance, ethics and the archive. It often confronts uncomfortable historical narratives while attempting to learn from the experiences of others without objectifying them. His current research concerns the legacy of European colonialism in Morocco and the pervasive Orientalist stereotypes of the Moor, especially in recent cinema.

Informed by her work as a costume designer, Rosa Tharrats is interested in sensorial and spiritual communication between different ‘species’ of lively materials and bodies. Often inspired by the dramatic natural scenography around her home in Cadaqués, her artistic practice combines textiles, garments, upholstery, painting and performance.

Gabriel Ventura’s multifaceted writing practice has embraced poetry, prose, interviews, narrative fiction, scripts and the epistolary form. The visual and scenic arts have always been central to his thinking and making, whether through the imagery that accompanies his publications or in his collaborations.

Marc Vives is a versatile artist, educator and cultural producer. From 2002 to 2012 he was one half of the artist duo Bestué-Vives. Since 2013 he has codirected GRAF.cat, a platform for contemporary art programmes in Catalonia.
