“#03 Pep Duran. A Chain of Events” is a large installation, 22 metres long, formed by 100 ceramic moulds, which was produced specifically for exhibition in the Capella MACBA. The work, which is divided into two parts – “Retaule laic” (Secular Altarpiece, 2010-2011); and “Peça escrita” (Written Piece, 2010-2011) – brings together and distils the intellectual, formal and aesthetic influences that lie at the core of Duran’s thought and artistic practice.
Bartomeu Marí, Chus Martínez, Pep Duran and Jordi Puntí speak about the installation.

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.
