Fer el préssec (en un bowl) [“Fooling around (in a Bowl)”] is the video recording of an improvised action during a visit to Spain’s first skatepark, located in Arenys de Munt, currently almost buried in the mountain. The action shows two bodies in a skate bowl moving without a board, as if they were two peaches inside a fruit bowl. The video is part of the exhibition Jugar com una fruita no és jugar [“Playing like a Fruit Is not Playing”], an inquiry on the limits and differences between using and playing, which are explored by confronting leisure spaces and everyday objects.

My curatorial work has two types of interest: the possibilities of the art writing and the revision and the figure of the artist and the functionality and / or dysfunctionality of art. It’s an investigation that opens links with other cultural contexts such as anthropology, psychology, literature or music. I’m mostly interested in the temporary and narrative condition of the exhibition and the possible emotional connections between audience and art. I recent years, I have worked in exhibition projects emerging from different narratives and performative readings of the landscapes. Currently, my curatorial practice recovers certain interests in sound production, establishing links between contemporary art and musical context.
