Cover Story—November 2020: ‘Things Things Say’: Stuart Whipps’
01 Nov 2020
“Another car strike. Marvellous, isn’t it? The taxpayers pay ’em millions each year, they get the money, go on strike. It’s called socialism. If they don’t like making cars, why don’t they get themselves another bloody job—designing cathedrals or composing violin concertos. The British Leyland Concerto—in four movements, all of them slow, with a four-hour tea-break in between...”

6 de noviembre, 17:45h: Proyección ‘Popcorn’ [Palomita] (90', 2012) de Adrià Julià en el Zumzeig Cinema
28 Oct 2020
Adrià Julià, ‘Popcorn’ [Palomita], (2012). Vídeo HD, color, sonido. 90 min. Cortesía del artista.
❌ Actividad cancelada debido a las nuevas restricciones para frenar el incremento de casos de COVID-19 en Catalunya. ❌
6 de noviembre 2020, a las 17:45h
Proyección ‘Popcorn’ [Palomita] (90', 2012) de Adrià Julià
Entrada gratuita por orden de llegada. Sesión única.
Sin inscripción previa. Aforo limitado.
El largometraje ‘Popcorn’ de Adrià Julià fue realizado en el 2012 a partir de una grabación pre-existente realizada para demostrar la capacidad de una cámara ultrarápida. El estallido a velocidad reducida de un grano de maíz ha sido prolongado extendiendo la película original de doce segundos hasta una duración de noventa minutos. ‘Popcorn’ es también una película de terror en que la violencia industrial y la supremacía cultural asoman más allá de un gesto aparentemente tan trivial como tomarse un aperitivo relajante y poco calórico.
La proyección en el Zumzeig forma parte de la exposición ‘Cosas que las cosas dicen’ comisariada por Latitudes en Fabra i Coats: Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona y que, además de la obra de Julià incluye escultura, fotografía, film y voz de Annette Kelm, James N. Kienitz Wilkins, Sarah Ortmeyer, Eulàlia Rovira, Francesc Serra i Dimas, Stuart Whipps, Haegue Yang, además de cosas significativas procedentes del fondo de los Amigos de la Fabra i Coats. Se puede visitar hasta el 17 de enero 2021.
Adrià Julià (Barcelona, 1974) vive y trabaja en Los Angeles y Bergen, donde es profesor en la facultad de KMD de la Universidad de Bergen. A través de instalaciones, cine, vídeo, fotografía, performance y publicaciones Julià examina los medios de representación y recepción de eventos con una dimensión personal y colectiva, y los modos en los que estos negocian la memoria, la resistencia, el desplazamiento y la supervivencia. Sus exposiciones individuales más recientes han tenido lugar en Pinacoteca de São Paulo (2019); Tabakalera, San Sebastián (2017–18); Fundació Miró de Barcelona (2017); Project Art Center, Dublín (2011) y ha participado en exposiciones colectivas en el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid (2016–17); The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Nueva York (2015–16); Witte de With, Rotterdam (2011); Seoul Museum of Art, Seúl, Corea (2010); 7th Mercusur Biennial, Porto Alegre, Brasil (2009); Lyon Bennial, Lyon (2007). Ha presentado performances en Current LA (2019) y la 29º Bienal de São Paulo (2010); y recibido becas de la Fundación Botín (2015), de la American Academy de Berlín (2015), de California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists (2010), de American Center Foundation (2007) y en 2002 recibió el Premio Altadis.

The group show ‘Things Things Say’ (Coses que les coses diuen) and the solo exhibition ‘Tone Tongue Mouth’ (‘to llengua boca’) by Dutch artist Wendelien van Oldenborgh open concurrently at Fabra i Coats: Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona on Saturday 17 October 2020 from 12 pm.
‘Things Things Say’
Fabra i Coats: Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona
17 October 2020 – 17 January 2021
Curated by Latitudes
An exhibition with works by Adrià Julià (1974, lives in Barcelona and Bergen), Annette Kelm (1975, lives in Berlin), James N. Kienitz Wilkins (1983, lives in New York), Sarah Ortmeyer (1980, lives in Vienna), Eulàlia Rovira (1985, lives in Barcelona), Francesc Serra i Dimas (1877–1967, Barcelona), Stuart Whipps (1979, lives in Birmingham), Haegue Yang (1971, lives in Berlin and Seoul), as well as meaningful things from the Friends of Fabra i Coats archive.
Do you trust things to write human history? Do things’ lives matter? Can a pebble destroy an empire if the emperor chokes at dinner? Would the pebble stand accused? Do you really think that if you stare at something long enough, it will reveal its secrets? Have you ever wondered why there is a hole in a donut? Did you ever own a pair of dungarees? Does a desire to write about a small car indicate some fear of its inadequacy? Does popcorn hold firm opinions? Is the key key? Are you familiar with the Luddites? Have you heard the expressions “how long is a piece of string?”, or “exceptional typical”?
The exhibition ‘Things Things Say’ springs from the past of Fabra i Coats as an industrial complex once dedicated to the manufacturing of cotton thread. The factory represented the first merger between a Catalan company and a foreign multinational and the first in Spain to offer its workers paid holidays. The exhibition evokes this novel and curious kind of place, a place comprised of many places and people, vastly different scales, temporalities, and values. Things, and spectres of things, that might at first seem exceptionally normal, apparently obsolete, or inert, each bring often-extraordinary stories or offer telling evidence, temporarily becoming new protagonists in the art centre community.
In the setting of the bygone factory, the works in the exhibition introduce a perspective on how the modern world has been shaped through complex and contentious relationships between humans and the web of life. Taking on the popular XVIII century genre of the ‘it-narrative’ in English literature and the approach of ‘object journalism’ against a background of world history and ecology, ‘Things Things Say’ and the exhibition ‘4.543 billion. The Matter of Matter’ (CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, 2017–18) are imagined as a diptych: two folds with the same hinge that tacks back-and-forth between deep time and microhistory, natural history and the history of capitalism.

| (↑ ↓) Sala dedicada al proyecto ‘TOUR DE FORCE’ en la exposición ‘COLAPSO. Máquina célibe’ de Joan Morey en Casal Solleric, Palma de Mallorca, 31 enero–6 septiembre 2020. © Joan Morey. Fotografías: Roberto Ruiz | Cortesía del artista y Casal Solleric. ‘Máquina posible’ (2020) consiste en la reactivación, adaptación y actualización de la obra dramática ‘TOUR DE FORCE’ (2017), que trazaba de manera poética varios recorridos por la breve historia del sida, desde la aparición de la enfermedad y su conversión en pandemia a finales del siglo pasado hasta las parafilias generadas alrededor de la transmisión y la difusión del virus que la provoca, el VIH. Dos de las intérpretes originales se confinan ahora en el espacio doméstico de la planta noble del dieciochesco edificio de Can Balaguer. La consuetudinaria estructura en actos rige una vez más la formalización de la performance, ideada para dos cuerpos, una sola voz y un acompañamiento musical. En este caso las interpretaciones femeninas se ven punteadas por interludios ejecutados en directo desde el imponente órgano que ocupa la gran Sala de Música en Can Balaguer. |
Protagonizada por Anna Sabaté, Candela Capitán y Nadal Roig, ‘Máquina posible’ configura una dramática maquinaria de movimiento coreográfico, música y voz que toma el interior de la casa como espacio de transmisión y memoria basándose en ejes temáticos como la pandemia, el encarcelamiento y la fragilidad humana.
‘COLAPSO. Máquina célibe’ es una adaptación del proyecto original ‘COLAPSO. Máquina deseante, máquina de trabajo’ que tuvo lugar simultáneamente en el Centre d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona - Fabra i Coats, el Centre d'Art Tecla Sala y la prisión celular la Modelo entre el septiembre 2018 y enero 2019, ambas comisariadas por Latitudes.
‘COLAPSO. Máquina posible’ de Joan Morey está comisariada per Latitudes y es una producción de la Direcció General d’Arts Visuals de la Regidoria de Cultura i Benestar Social de l’Ajuntament de Palma, Casal Solleric y Can Balaguer, con la colaboración de HM hotels.

‘COLAPSO. Máquina célibe’ es la primera retrospectiva de Joan Morey (Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, 1972) en su Mallorca natal. Consiste en una revisión de seis grandes proyectos, cuya documentación y otros objetos se expone junto con ocho piezas sonoras. Las doce majestuosas salas dieciochescas de la planta noble y el patio columnado del Casal Solleric acogen este conjunto de materiales, voces y cuerpos que, con su colapso, ofrecen una panorámica de los últimos diez años de la carrera artística de Morey.
La exposición es una adaptación de ‘COLAPSO’, un proyecto en tres partes que tuvo lugar simultáneamente en el Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona - Fabra i Coats, el Centro de Arte Tecla Sala de L’Hospitalet de Llobregat y la antigua cárcel Modelo de Barcelona entre 2018 y 2019.

Su práctica aúna tres géneros fundamentales del arte contemporáneo: la performance (a través de escenarios que se desarrollan en el tiempo, en los que habitualmente participan cuerpos humanos y el propio público), la apropiación (tomando y reformulando textos, formas y estilos ya existentes, ya sea de fuentes literarias, clásicas o de la subcultura) y la crítica institucional (con la que examina y aborda las ideologías y el poder de nuestras instituciones sociales, culturales y políticas).

→ CONTENIDOS RELACIONADOS: Joan Morey ha producido un extenso conjunto de performances, vídeos, instalaciones y obras sonoras y gráficas que, desde finales de los años noventa, explora la intersección entre teatro, cine, filosofía, sexualidad y subjetividad.
Su práctica aúna tres géneros fundamentales del arte contemporáneo: la performance (a través de escenarios que se desarrollan en el tiempo, en los que habitualmente participan cuerpos humanos y el propio público), la apropiación (tomando y reformulando textos, formas y estilos ya existentes, ya sea de fuentes literarias, clásicas o de la subcultura) y la crítica institucional (con la que examina y aborda las ideologías y el poder de nuestras instituciones sociales, culturales y políticas).

Report: Latitudes' participation in the festival TODAY IS OUR TOMORROW initiated by PUBLICS in Helsinki
04 Oct 2019

As partner organisation in the transdisciplinary festival ‘Today Is Our Tomorrow’ initiated by PUBLICS, Latitudes' participation consisted in inviting Argentinian-born, Amsterdam-based artist Mercedes Azpilicueta, to perform at Club Kaiku on September 13, 2019.
Façade of Kaiku, Helsinki.
A day earlier, on September 12, 2019, Latitudes and Mercedes maintained an open conversation introducing her artistic practice and, in particular advancing details of both her ‘Yegua-Yeta-Yuta’ performance taking place a day after, as well as her forthcoming solo exhibition at CentroCentro, Madrid, opening October 3, 2019, and her solo presentation as part of Van Abbemuseum's ‘Positions #5’, a series of exhibitions presenting the work of artists working in the Netherlands.

Azpilicueta performed ‘Yegua-yeta-yuta’ (2015-ongoing), an evolving solo performance that is part scripted, part improvised. Composed from a litany of hundreds of pejorative, abusive, and vulgar insults directed at women in Argentina, it transforms the everyday language of misogyny and harassment into a kind of tragicomic exorcism. Many of the words derive from the street slang of Buenos Aires, especially Lunfardo, a colloquial and cryptic dialect that first arose among working-class Italian-immigrant and tango communities in Argentina and Uruguay during the late 1800s. For example, yegua literally means a mare – a female horse, a slur for a “difficult” woman. A yeta is a person who brings bad luck, while a yuta is someone corrupt or unscrupulous, and slang for the police. Accompanied by a percussive beat, Azpilicueta reclaims the power to offend, distorting and distending the epithets into something powerful and playful rather than weak and degrading. Azpilicueta performed to the beat of a new soundtrack produced for the occasion in collaboration with Chilean choreographer Rodrigo Sobarzo de Larraechea.

Mercedes Azpilicueta is an Argentinian visual and performance artist based in Amsterdam. Her practice has spanned theatrical mises-en-scènes and video installations, textile sculptures and drawing, sound works and 3D animation. With a particular interest in notions of the vulnerable or collective body, and the primal or dissident voice, her works have drawn inspiration from sources as diverse as Baroque painting, text messaging, medieval tapestries, street slang, and literary fiction, as well as singular figures including the Italian art critic and feminist activist Carla Lonzi (1931–1982), the Argentine-French performance artist Lea Lublin (1929–1999), the French futurist Valentine de Saint-Point (1875–1953), and the Costa Rican-born Mexican ranchera singer Chavela Vargas (1919–2012). A major survey of Azpilicueta’s work to date, ‘Cuerpos Pájaros’ (Body-birds) was recently staged by the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art (November 2018–April 2019 — see Latitudes' Buenos Aires report). On October 3, 2019, she presents ‘Bestiario de Lengüitas’ (Bestiaire of Tonguelets), curated by Virginie Bobin, at CentroCentro, Madrid, an exhibition which will then tour to Museion, Bozen, and CAC Brétigny in 2020. Later in 2019, she will have a solo presentation as part of ‘Positions #5’ at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.

‘Today Is Our Tomorrow’ is a collaborative, collective, and transdisciplinary festival initiated by Helsinki-based curatorial agency PUBLICS, produced in partnership with local and international organisations, initiatives and institutions. The programme will include a co-commissioned and collaboratively curated programme of temporary public art commissions, live performance, music, dance, theatre, literature and symposia, and will pilot in Club Kaiku complex in Kallio, an underground music venue renowned for hosting an innovative lineup of DJs, and the neighbouring spaces Kieku and Stidilä.
The 2019 edition of ‘Today Is Our Tomorrow’ is curated, commissioned, organised in collaboration with the Finnish partners: Academy of Fine Arts, Baltic Circle, Globe Art Point, IHME Helsinki, Kohta Gallery, Live Art and Performance Studies (LAPS), and Museum of Impossible Forms, and the international partners Index Foundation from Stockholm, osloBIENNALEN from Oslo, the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art from Riga, and Latitudes from Barcelona.
The programme looks at ‘other’ versions of the present already being lived in Finland and globally: from Alternative futures to Indigenous-futures, to Afro-futures, to Asian-futures, to Eco-futures, to Bio-futures, to Queer and Feminist futures, and to non-hegemonic futures.

At the invitation of PUBLICS to participate in the festival, Latitudes has invited Buenos Aires-born, Amsterdam-based artist Mercedes Azpilicueta to present her performance ‘Yegua-yeta-yuta’ at Kieku (ground loor, next to Stidilä) on Friday 13 September, 11–11:30pm. A day earlier, on Thursday 12 September, Latitudes will be in conversation with the artist at 5:30h also at Kieku.‘Yegua-yeta-yuta’ (2015-ongoing) is an evolving solo performance by Azpilicueta that is part scripted, part improvised.

Running parallel during the same week (9–14 September), Latitudes will attend the ‘Gathering for Rehearsing Hospitalities’, a six-day event organised by Frame Contemporary Art Finland in which artists, curators, researchers, and audiences in the field of contemporary art ‘are invited to rehearse and debate hospitality towards diverse ways of knowing and challenging of dominant knowledges’. Alongside the public programme, Frame will arrange studio visits, one-on-one meetings and networking situations.

Latitudes congratulate Joan Morey, one of the eight beneficiaries of the 27th edition of the Botín Foundation's International Visual Arts Grants. His project ‘LA INFLUYENTE’ will be exhibited at the Botín Centre in 2021.
‘LA INFLUYENTE’ is a research and artistic creation project around the mechanisms of conversion of the body into symbolic capital, a speculative element and product of veneration, which takes the relics of Saint Teresa of Ávila as its starting point.
