Ignasi Aballí
Ignasi Aballí
From obsessive classifications to anti-paintings, from a constant probing of the role of the spectator to imperceptible modifications, Ignasi Aballí’s work is both hermetic and accessible. A delicate balance between concept and form that draws inspiration from everyday life, literature and film in order to talk about absences, filters, fictions and limits. FONS ÀUDIO #15 charts a course through the core ideas of this Barcelona artist’s body of work, through four pieces that are part of the MACBA Collection: Pols (1991), Pell I (1995), Gran error (1998) and Desaparicions II (2005).
Deleted scenes
We dig up some unreleased fragments of the interview with the Catalan artist Ignasi Aballí. In just six minutes of footage, he synthesises so much! From his references in literature and film –those that have provided him with tools from other disciplines to develop his own language– to how language itself, along with image, time and movement, give rise to his works.
Reflections at a critical juncture: Perejaume, Ignasi Aballí and Eduard Escoffet
Overwhelmed by the institutionalised discourse of politics and economists, we invite artists, philosophers, researchers and poets to share their ideas about what is happening to us, to comment on the positive and negative implications of this structural crisis, and to imagine an uncertain future.
