In FONS ÀUDIO #61, Mireia Sallarès talks to us about her works in the MACBA collection. We plunge right in with Literatura de Replà, una relectura [Literature on the landing, A Rereading] (2014), Mireia’s first work to enter the MACBA Collection—although it may one day leave it—before moving disjointedly to Història potencial de Francesc Tosquelles, Catalunya i la Por [Potential History of Francesc Tosquelles, Catalunya, and Fear] (2021), a public service for the people of Catalonia. As the conversation unfurls in the opposite order to how it took place, we finish with Las Muertas Chiquitas [Little Deaths] (2009-2016), which Sallarès tells us she can always revisit to find a quote.

Teresa Solar Abboud

In this podcast, we begin with visual artist Teresa Solar Abboud sharing her Notebooks, because they condense the heartbeat of her daily practice. They are repositories of memory that also project themselves into the future and acquire the polymorphic layers of her creative processes. We spend some time talking about her work processes and the material conditions that underpin her practice. We also reflect on questions of scale, on the use of colour, on textures, and on subsurface ecosystems that hybridise the natural and industrial, the past and present.

Marcelo Expósito

In this podcast, we talk to the artist, editor, translator and activist Marcelo Expósito about scales and oratories, about artistic methodologies, political imagination and herbariums. We look at constitutional leaps that broaden opportunities for listening and remind us—from the South—of the rights of the earth, rivers and mountains. Marcelo also tells us about how recombining existing laws and treaties can be a way of updating valuable constructive procedures and reinvigorating non-fascist ways of life, in this new context of historical breakdown.

Teresa Rubio

In this podcast, cultural mediator, educator, and collage artist Teresa Rubio fills us in on her way of understanding (and putting into practice) the third space that emerges in mediation. Much more than simply providing a few sofas, mediation entails being among and with others, which also opens up “other ways” of occupying and inhabiting the museum. For Teresa, mediation inherently contains performance, listening, and reproductive care work. Moreover, it is as much about individual authorship as it is about collective writing. And in order to realise its full potential, it often needs to be an internal process too.

Mari Chordà

Mari Chordà was born on 14 May 1942 in Amposta, Tarragona, a land to which she is deeply attached. She is a painter, sculptor, writer, poet, and activist, whose painting and poetry speak of pleasure, motherhood, and the female body. She was also among the first of her generation to propose the idea of free sexuality. Mari Chordà developed her own pictorial style in formal and colour terms, without following trends but focusing on the direct depiction of her own body—the female body—and its cavities, sinuosity, fluids, and mutations.
