FONS ÀUDIO
Jef Cornelis
Jef Cornelis is one of the pioneers of research into the language of television and its relationship to video art, documentary and the reading of history from the present, and also of the analysis of what it means to make a film. In the course of more than 25 years work at VRT, the Belgian public television corporation, Jef Cornelis directed a great deal of filmic material. His work has come to be seen as a milestone and a visual content bank of great importance to the the history of contemporary art. In FONS AUDIO #4, Cornelis contextualises some of his works in the MACBA Collection.
Deleted scenes
We dig up some unreleased fragments of our interview with Eric Baudelaire.
Xavier Ribas
The photographs of Xavier Ribas analyse processes of transformation of contemporary metropolises, and the ways of life and habitability that these changes bring about. In FONS AUDIO #22 Xavier Ribas discusses the nature and potentiality of peripheral areas through his series Domingos (1994-1997) and Habitus (2007), both of which are part of the MACBA Collection.
Oriol Vilanova
Oriol Vilanova works with materials from flea markets: postcards, books and other documents which he collects, sorts and recomposes to create new mental journeys. In FONS ÀUDIO #23, Vilanova revisits works such as Forjadores de Imperio (2009), John (2012) and Còpies (2000–ongoing), reflecting on notions of copy, memory, archives and collections.
Antoni Abad
Antoni Abad charts a course that begins with his early sculptural works and ends with his current community-based mobile communication projects, by way of his video installations and net.art.
