Bestué/Vives
David Bestué
David Bestué’s practice sits at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, and language, although it also extends to other forms such as curating and essay writing. In A FONS ÀUDIO #64, we focus on his works in the MACBA Collection, taking us back to the beginnings of his career, to contextualize his collaboration with the artist and performer Marc Vives, under the alias Bestué/Vives—a key phase that precedes his later research into architecture, memory, and materiality. Over the course of a decade, the duo developed a body of work marked by constant experimentation, in which sculpture and performance merge with narrative fiction. After the dissolution of the shared project, Bestué directed his research toward the relationships between architecture, memory, and materiality, a line of inquiry materialized in works such as Uralitas, also documented here.
