Son[i]a #302 Manuel Sanfuentes on Amereida and Ciudad Abierta
26/11/2019 70' 29''
Spanish

The Chilean poet Manuel Sanfuentes talks about Amereida, which emerged from a journey undertaken by a group of poets, architects, and philosophers from Tierra del Fuego to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, in the course of 1965. Years later, the experience resulted in Ciudad Abierta, a series of experimental, imagined, collaboratively-built constructions and practices jutting out of vast expanse of dunes, estuaries, and gorges bordering on the Pacific Ocean.

In FONS ÀUDIO #49, Peter Downsbrough takes his works from the MACBA Collection as a springboard to talk about a relationship with photography spanning almost half a century, and about how it fits into the jigsaw puzzle of techniques and disciplines that make up his artistic vocabulary. We talk about space, cities, invisible lines, and the critical attitude that runs subtly through his practice.

UTOPIA IS POSSIBLE. ICSID. EIVISSA, 1971. #3 The collapse of manners
19/02/2013 26' 54''
The ICSID in Eivissa was much more than an ordinary congress. It was an experience of socialisation that changed the artistic, intellectual and behavioural mindsets of a whole generation of creative workers. In the words of the critic Daniel Giralt-Miracle, what we saw at the ICSID was “the burial of Noucentisme and the birth of the design generation.”
