FONS ÀUDIO #10
Ibon Aranberri
The work of Ibon Aranberri (Itziar-Deba, Guipúzcoa, 1969) explores the connections between nature and culture, and draws attention to the ideological abuses of the land by those in power at any given time. His videos, actions and documents eventually crystallise in the form of heterogeneous installations that lie somewhere between archive, documentary recording and land art interventions.
In FONS ÀUDIO #10 Aranberri talks about “(Ir. T. nº 513) zuloa. Extended Repertory” (2003-2007), a work that is part of the MACBA Collection.

Rita McBride
The work of Rita McBride (Des Moines, Iowa, United States, 1969) is situated on the hybrid territory between sculpture, architecture and industrial design. Starting with the critical appropriation of everyday objects, the artist creates enigmatic pieces that force us to question the nature of the symbols on which our culture is based. In FONS ÀUDIO #9 McBride talks about Arena (1997) and Jiffy Map (2008), two works that are part of the MACBA Collection.
Pep Duran
Pep Duran (Vilanova i la Geltrú, 1955) addresses an active viewer-actor who is willing to walk through his works bestowing on them personal, non-transferible meanings. Since he started out on his career at the end of the seventies, has alternated artistic and scenographic production. A passionate collector of objects, his artistic production is inextricably linked with the use of materials that are discarded or found in containers. In FONS ÀUDIO #8, he offers some keys of approximation to his works in the MACBA Collection.
Kristin Oppenheim
Kristin Oppenheim employs the dramatic properties of her own voice to articulate sound and visual installations that immerse the spectator in hypnotic environments replete with potential narratives. In FONS ÀUDIO #12, Oppenheim gives us some tips for approaching her installation Hey Joe (1996), which is part of the MACBA Collection.
Muntadas

In FONS ÀUDIO # 11, the Catalan artist discusses some of his works from the MACBA Collection and contextualises them within the framework of conceptual evolution and production from the seventies up until the present.
