EN CRISI #1
Reflections at a critical juncture: Perejaume, Ignasi Aballí and Eduard Escoffet
With the collaboration of the Coral Escola de Música Sant Gervasi
#encrisis taps into the constant stream of people and ideas that flow through MACBA in order to reflect on the present moment, in which paradigm changes and new working models prevail.
Overwhelmed by the institutionalised discourse of politics and economists, we invite artists, philosophers, researchers and poets to share their ideas about what is happening to us, to comment on the positive and negative implications of this structural crisis, and to imagine an uncertain future. We get the ball rolling with Perejaume, Ignasi Aballí and Eduard Escoffet.
Perejaume is an artist who lives and works in Sant Pol de Mar, Barcelona. His work, which is conceptual in nature, reflects on the media through a range of different languages such as sculpture, painting and poetry.
Ignasi Aballí is an artist. His work is a radical deconstruction of the pictorial act that revolves around a non-interventionist approach, based on conceptual binomials and using everyday materials in different formats. He lives and works in Barcelona.
Eduard Escoffet is a poet whose work spans several disciplines: sound, visual, and textual poetry and performance. Through Propost, which he founded in 1993, he has produced numerous events and festivals linked to poetry.

We dig up some unreleased fragments of the interview with the Catalan artist Perejaume.
This is an email conversation with the sound poetry and voice collector Eduard Escoffet, which took place in Summer 2013.
Perejaume
Perejaume has a long-standing fascination with the shamanic power of mimesis. And writing, artistic practice and endless walks through his natural surroundings have been the means by which the artist has shaped his personal landscape narratives, which lie somewhere between figuration, imagination and theoretical reflection.

Ignasi Aballí
From obsessive classifications to anti-paintings, from a constant probing of the role of the spectator to imperceptible modifications, Ignasi Aballí’s work is both hermetic and accessible. A delicate balance between concept and form that draws inspiration from everyday life, literature and film in order to talk about absences, filters, fictions and limits.
