From the espais c program, as a closing activity for the 2021-2023 cycle and within the framework of the Neus Frigola exhibition at the Fundació Suñol ‘Overflowing, sustaining and a water volcano’, the culmination of his residency at the Escola Arts Institute , a round table is presented with the artists who have developed a two-year residency in primary schools. Based on the first-person experiences of the artists Regina Giménez, Rosa Llop and Neus Frigola in conversation with Daniel Gasol, the objective of the table will be to share collective learning processes to propose common scenarios between art and education, generating debate on the interrelationship between educational and artistic practices.
Regina Giménez, trained in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, the city where she lives and works, is the author of a work that is part of the tradition of abstraction and the exploration of geometry and color, although understood in a very open sense. His production includes painting and textiles (his large canvases stand out, which blur the limits between the pictorial and the theatrical); collages composed with photographic and craft techniques; works in methacrylate that she makes herself; artist books, as well as graphic work. Practice a sensory abstraction closer to life than to the concept. Giménez takes old maps and books, as well as children’s books on geography and cosmology, and reinterprets them in new compositions that dialogue with abstraction and figuration.
Rosa Llop is a researcher, artist, designer, teacher and author. Rosa Llop’s professional and artistic practice responds to the need to question the constructs that delimit and predefine the role of the designer. Rosa uses research as a strategy to observe contemporaneity, paying special attention to the systematization of creative processes and representation policies. His formal language seeks minimal action and he is interested in silence, emptiness and the invisible as acts of signification.
Embracing drawing, collage, sculpture and installation, the practice of artist and art therapist Neus Frigola is often the result of intuitive and contingent processes, of open and adventurous material experimentation. His works derive from naturally porous explorations, traversed by experience lived intimately or collectively.
Daniel Gasol is an artist and PhD in Production and Artistic Research from the University of Barcelona (2015). Her artistic practice revolves around mediation, critical pedagogy, and collective dynamics. It questions dominant discourses built by factual powers about identity, work, class or consumption that convert forms of fiction and/or reality. He begins his career combining research and artistic production, investigating the mechanisms that constitute hegemonic narratives.
