SON[I]A #221. Enric Farrés Duran
Simultaneous translation
Given that Enric Farrés considers presentations, talks and guided tours a key aspect of his practice, this special episode in which he improvises a Spanish interpretation of an interview we conducted earlier in Catalan can be approached as yet another piece of the Farrés puzzle. A bit of performative dubbing, comments on comments, meta-information and a touch of fiction.
Teaser
As part of the exhibition "Sampler #4. Things that Happen", Enric Farrés Duran turns the tables on us with a proposal to get Ràdio Web MACBA to talk about his artistic practice. Here is a small preview of what we’ve been cooking up in this Barcelona-Los Angeles connection: listening on listening, suspended times, recalcitrant amateurism, desperate clawing at the fourth wall, and a few tough journalistic questions.

Enric Farrés talks about collecting obsessively, the value of the ephemeral, the use of lies as a creative strategy and the complicit relationship with those around him, as well as other aspects of his work.
In this sound piece, Oriol Vilanova recites, one after another and in no particular order, the more than one thousand names of the cities featured in his postcard collection of triumphal arches 'Còpies', one of his works in the MACBA Collection.
