Guest Curators: Solo exhibition ‘José Antonio Hernández-Díez. I Will Fear No Evil¸, Convent dels Àngels del Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), until 26 June 2016

I Will Fear No Evil presents works from the beginning of José Antonio Hernández-Díez’s career in the late 1980s and early nineties – several of which have not been seen since they were first exhibited – in dialogue with Filamentos (2016), a new series developed especially for the occasion.

The present exhibition looks back to Hernández-Díez’s first experimental works with video alongside early iconic screen- and vitrine-based works, including three of those presented at the time of his landmark first monographic exhibition San Guinefort y otras devociones, held in 1991 at Sala RG, Caracas. This exhibition heralded what the artist termed as a ‘New Christian Iconography’, offering – as artist-colleague Meyer Vaisman described – ‘a techno-pop view of Catholicism’s most beloved symbols’.

Public programmes:

31 March, 7pm: Guided visit by the artist and the curators for Friends of MACBA.
2 April, 7pm: ‘The secrets of conservation – José Antonio Hernández-Díez’s "I Will Fear No Evil"’. Visit and debate with the artist, Lluís Roqué (Conservator, MACBA) introduced by the curators as part of Experience MACBA. #MACBAesviu
4 and 8 May, 15 and 22 June: Film programme “Shadows and silences or the ghosts that return as if for the first time” curated by Andrés Duque. Four screenings of french and japanese films from the 1920s and 30s.
25 June, 7pm: Live musical performance by Nieve Fuga as part of Experience MACBA. #MACBAesviu

Editors: 'Incidents (of Travel)', online periodical produced in collaboration with Kadist Art Foundation from May 2016

Latitudes and Kadist Art Foundation are partnering in a new 'distributed' phase of 'Incidents (of Travel)' as an online periodical available from May 2016. Originally conceived by Latitudes as day-long artist-led tours around Mexico City (2012), followed by dispatches from Hong Kong (2013) and San Francisco (2015), 'Incidents (of Travel)' explores the chartered itinerary as a format of artistic encounter.

As part of its Online Projects, Kadist will begin publishing a series of contributions from six of its fellows working around the world – fieldwork and online storytelling documenting an offline day’s itinerary.
