Accident, a new project by Barcelona artist Helena Vinent, is the last of the Espai 13 2024 exhibitions in the program We Will Keep Each Other Company When It Grows Dark, curated by Irina Mutt.
In their exhibition, Helena Vinent creates an experience that revolves around the tension between accessibility and a search for pleasure, where access to the museum’s spaces involves a negotiation that transforms the way we move through them.
Espai 13 becomes a space where crips* cease to be passive subjects and provoke an accident that aims to overturn the ableist paradigm.
Helena Vinent has been a resident artist at Fabra i Coats in the context of a SAC-FiC scholarship for visual artists, a long-term resident artist at Hangar, and she is currently carrying out a residency at L’Escocesa. Her works have been displayed in a number of spaces, including La Casa Encendida (Madrid), Mécènes du Sud (Montpellier), the Fran Reus gallery (Palma), the Joey Ramone gallery (Rotterdam), Arts Santa Mònica and the LOOP Festival (Barcelona). She has been awarded a number of prizes and scholarships, including the Sala d’Art Jove creation award, the Guasch Coranty scholarship, the Hangar production scholarship, the Baumannlab production scholarship, the ICUB Museums and Creation scholarship, the La Nit dels Museus creation scholarship, the Geneaciones award from the Montemadrid Foundation, the visual arts research and innovation scholarship from the Catalan regional government, and the Premis Barcelona 2020 award. Her works are featured in a number of collections such as the Montemadrid Foundation, the Guasch Coranty Foundation and the MACBA.
