Joan Morey holds a BA and a DEA in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. His artistic practice mainly focuses on the language of the performance, generating events, mises en scènes, environments or specific interventions that give place (or not) to derivative works. The backbone of his discourse is the unorthodox relationship between “Master / Slave” – which goes from the dialectic of the master and the slave as in Hegel to the sub-cultural practices “BDSM” -and the devices of power, with the objective to review them through artistic performance. Consequently, such mechanisms are used for the reconstruction of visual, oral and written proposals that reflect on ideology, religion or politics, in their multiple aspects.

Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna are curators based in Barcelona. In 2005 they cofounded Latitudes, a curatorial office that has worked internationally across contemporary art practices, encompassing more than 50 projects including exhibitions, public realm commissions, film screenings, pedagogical and discursive programs. Latitudes has commissioned and curated projects at the Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona – Fabra i Coats (2018), CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux (2017), Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (2017), Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (2016), Barcelona Gallery Weekend (2015, 2016), Spring Workshop, Hong Kong (2013), Kunsthall Århus (2011), New Museum, New York (2010), Port of Rotterdam (2009), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (2008), amongst others. Latitudes current research focusses on material narratives, biographies of objects, and a world-ecological perspective on art histories. Since 2016 Latitudes has edited “Incidents (of Travel)”, an online series produced by KADIST documenting an offline day between curators and artists and mentor the Barcelona Producció visual arts grants awarded each year by the Barcelona City Council.
