Son[i]a #198
Antonio Gagliano
Antonio Gagliano is an artist, writer, editor and curator, and drawing plays a structural or constituent part in all of these aspects of his work.
His practice takes the form of long research processes in which he uses diagrams and sketches as a messy form of assimilation, filtered by affects and by material sourced from archives and from the Internet. He also uses drawing as a strategy with which to get around the legal blocks that are generated by the archives themselves, exploiting the legal limbo of the manufactured copy in a productive way.
SON[I]A talks to Antonio Gagliano about his projects, his relationship to drawing and to mind maps, and about how to generate tools, protocols and blueprints that can help us to navigate the archives and repositories of our time.
Violeta Ospina
Violeta Ospina is an artist, an educator, and a facilitator of collaborative projects that pay special attention to sound and the body. Using typical expressions and imaginaries of popular celebrations as raw materials, her work unfolds through multiform devices that seek to intensify the present. Piñatas, scale models, processions, karaoke, carnival, and cabaret all make an appearance in her practice as catalysts for violence and tenderness, which can also awaken the parodic potential that is always latent in everyday situations. Violeta is co-founder of Radio Cava-ret, a project linked to listening and theatricality, which, taking up the baton from the Futurists, calls itself a “radia”: the experimental and erotic flip side of traditional radio.

Enric Farrés Duran

Un Faulduo
Nicolás Zukerfeld and Nicolás Daniluk talk about experimentation and collective work, about minor authors and mass copies, about the power of translating and adapting, and about the architecture of comic strips as a space where speed and time are resolved.
Francesc Ruiz
In his exploration of the speculative traces of comics as a cultural form, Francesc Ruiz calls up notions such as détournement, desire, fan culture, window, vignette, and counter-history. In FONS AUDIO #33 he talks about his projects, about the ideological aspects implicit in newsstand displays, and about how comics can reorganise the way a city is used.
