They work as an add-on or extension to a specific reality that I want to alter, transform, displace. They are intentionally little perceptible, and through them I bring a state of negotiation between the elements and agents involved in the space where they are located. I work using what is already existing, with immersive and specific proposals in relation of the space and the moment where the projects are produced. https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Jornada-laboral Mon, 01 Jun 2020 17:55:12 +0000 Eulàlia Garcia Valls https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Jornada-laboral Jornada laboral (2020) <img width="2176" height="3264" width_o="2176" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a4d5675ad47832c52ad9215a252d86b05e526ace139730d8b054cd155d39b2b4/IMG_20200202_181245-cop.jpg" data-mid="73586898" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a4d5675ad47832c52ad9215a252d86b05e526ace139730d8b054cd155d39b2b4/IMG_20200202_181245-cop.jpg" /><img width="850" height="1276" width_o="850" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ea06939822bac2ade7e21830aa53d78a59ccb4f2a59662c92f04932604d0b87/IMG_0172.jpg" data-mid="73586905" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/850/i/2ea06939822bac2ade7e21830aa53d78a59ccb4f2a59662c92f04932604d0b87/IMG_0172.jpg" /> Photographs by Carla Canovas. Sound intervention inside TRAFIC project’s van12 February 2020, 16h. C/Camí de la foixarda, Barcelona. In this proposal, I contrast an hour of my own working day within the cultural field with and hour of the working day of Eloi Rodríguez Romeu, located in the services market, questioning both through a sound intervention installed in the radio of theTRAFIC’s van. A sound recorder has accompanied Eloi and me in our working hours separately, recording one hour of the soundscape of each of us: Eloi while delivering and me while producing this artistic proposal.During the show, located in the cabin’s van, the public has access to the two audio files, each one containing one of the labour hours. The listener can chose which one wants to reproduce, being able to switch to the other one if wanted. <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/903af5ecfd52036ea454d6532e71069a83db3d2c9fb4ff076e889f4e940fc1b8/IMG_0145.jpg" data-mid="73587125" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/903af5ecfd52036ea454d6532e71069a83db3d2c9fb4ff076e889f4e940fc1b8/IMG_0145.jpg" /><img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/41ad733d0eff450c80ee9c61438d36d53a21555f9d4d59fe24d86c6ad4dc1869/IMG_0131.jpg" data-mid="73587129" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/41ad733d0eff450c80ee9c61438d36d53a21555f9d4d59fe24d86c6ad4dc1869/IMG_0131.jpg" /><img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d44c91a4a7c94ce357ee62002615acdef0a14d223fb9a5da1d9c0cd6b9a80214/IMG_0156.jpg" data-mid="73587018" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d44c91a4a7c94ce357ee62002615acdef0a14d223fb9a5da1d9c0cd6b9a80214/IMG_0156.jpg" /><img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd37cd1637eb2dc9c59e2d9288765c96a45945ad35f5358a363f1d903cbaa4f3/IMG_0165.jpg" data-mid="73587253" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd37cd1637eb2dc9c59e2d9288765c96a45945ad35f5358a363f1d903cbaa4f3/IMG_0165.jpg" /><img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ffe4d1461e6e03eacacf761e12afe4ace1986edfa2bb12a0d62adc6a2fd2cc1/IMG_0169.jpg" data-mid="73587287" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ffe4d1461e6e03eacacf761e12afe4ace1986edfa2bb12a0d62adc6a2fd2cc1/IMG_0169.jpg" />Pictures of the event, where you can see the public inside the van listening the audio files.Photographs by Carla Canovas. 1 TRAFIC is an exhibition cycle that takes place in a van and it always follows the same pattern: few hours of duration, according to randomly de- termined dates and located where a parking slot has been found in Montjuic mountain, in Barcelona. https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Instal-lar Wed, 03 Jun 2020 18:19:33 +0000 Eulàlia Garcia Valls https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Instal-lar Instal·lar un fals sostre (2019) <img width="850" height="1276" width_o="850" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/15619c8900cfc128d95dd1db05a10c35074f16c655fbc5c5faa73fb4178d92db/1.jpg" data-mid="73398581" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/850/i/15619c8900cfc128d95dd1db05a10c35074f16c655fbc5c5faa73fb4178d92db/1.jpg" /> <img width="850" height="1276" width_o="850" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/761b970d3003505a97b596da52b8f5043e04b8816d032d354599b67263d34dcc/2.jpg" data-mid="73398614" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/850/i/761b970d3003505a97b596da52b8f5043e04b8816d032d354599b67263d34dcc/2.jpg" /> <img width="850" height="1276" width_o="850" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/94005dd81b23bf3032ada902f1680cecd97357feff827485af84b6f7310fdf84/3.jpg" data-mid="73398620" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/850/i/94005dd81b23bf3032ada902f1680cecd97357feff827485af84b6f7310fdf84/3.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c18c587755f2aff2261f697541aff68f7e5d5e5c28e60ab653c35531e53dcc9/1.JPG" data-mid="73398774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3c18c587755f2aff2261f697541aff68f7e5d5e5c28e60ab653c35531e53dcc9/1.JPG" /> Pictures of the installation during the opening.Photographs by Carla Canovas. Installation, variable dimensions (in relation to the space where it is installed). In the exhibition ‘Col·lapse 4: Instal·lar un fals sostre’ in Sala d’Art Jove the installation had 17 pieces of sustained ceiling; Sala d’Art Jove, Barcelona. Extruded polystyrene panels, galvanized steel profiles, threaded rods, hanging forks, omegas, white paint, plaster, double-sided tape.Project built with the support of Marta Archilés. Instal·lar un fals sostre is a project that challenges the transition rules and construction regulations of the institutional exhibition space where it is located, compromising the relationship between institution, curators, artists and the public. <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/16ceff2674f2650ffada00288ff46a37fe76244e70e1287b92fdab5201551db9/8.jpg" data-mid="73398817" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/16ceff2674f2650ffada00288ff46a37fe76244e70e1287b92fdab5201551db9/8.jpg" /> The project itself is an outcome of these regulations: due the construction legislation it is not possible to lower the ceiling of the entire exhibition room. For this reason, the installation becomes a transfer of these imposed limitations from the construction plans to the exhibition space. The ceiling is lowered till 1’60 meter in the places where it is allowed, keeping the original height where the legislation forbids the intervention. Through the originated corridors and the sustained fragments of ceiling the work affects the state and relationship of the bodies that habit this specific space.This intervention not only forces a dialogue between the institution and the public; the formulation process of the project had implied a negotiation and friction also with the other artists that had received the Sala d’Art Jove grant, as well with the curators and coordinators of the same program. <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce5cae2ae87fccea24207fb55a58e2c1248be2d3f98afabc7b70a3eeb4b07475/7.jpg" data-mid="73398819" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce5cae2ae87fccea24207fb55a58e2c1248be2d3f98afabc7b70a3eeb4b07475/7.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ae24bb71a6c7dd5d477c29f2c40093e6ea537c13fda8d1dafd14557d667c616/6.jpg" data-mid="73398818" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ae24bb71a6c7dd5d477c29f2c40093e6ea537c13fda8d1dafd14557d667c616/6.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/26aa1713fbc393e3eaa798a8e0a686aedd1cce76f498d4f4c883539cc1f219d2/5.jpg" data-mid="73398820" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/26aa1713fbc393e3eaa798a8e0a686aedd1cce76f498d4f4c883539cc1f219d2/5.jpg" /> https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Rooms-of-Now-2 Mon, 01 Jun 2020 17:55:13 +0000 Eulàlia Garcia Valls https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Rooms-of-Now-2 Rooms of Now #2 (2019) <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21dda98d22dd1545ebf678a422c613c59b1051549f75bab9e8b5a4e06c5dc08d/DSC08754.jpg" data-mid="73591802" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21dda98d22dd1545ebf678a422c613c59b1051549f75bab9e8b5a4e06c5dc08d/DSC08754.jpg" />All photographs are cortesy of Vleeshal. Site specific sound installation; Arnelaan 6, Vleeshal’s public programe ‘Rooms of Now #2’, Middelburg.A fake wall, a hidden room, an audio file inside of the room. Project built with the support of Vleeshal and the sound engineer Adrià Martí Comas. ‘Rooms of Now’ is Vleeshal’s public program in which Middelburgers are invited to open up one or more rooms of their house for an artist’s intervention. On June 2, my intervention in Yolanda and Harrie Roosen’s house comes up after visiting one of the rooms of the house: their studio on the first floor. This specific room is full of personal belongings that contain memories, things that are stored in order to be remembered. Leading up to the show, I recorded the sound of Yolanda and Harrie inhabiting their studio, located in the first floor of his house. These recordings are played throughout the show inside of the studio (through two speakers). I blocked the public’s access to the room by building a fake wall in front of the door thereby making the space ostensibly disappear. The audience experience the installation from the corridor outside. The resulting work is an empty white wall with the audio coming through, different sounds coming from a place that the viewer can’t understand. The closer the viewer gets to the space the more they may discover it. <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb405b0e5c6a8f863f5aeff5e49c8ce6a2e70d1c778e52b905e6ead910ca82b2/DSC08747.jpg" data-mid="73592779" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb405b0e5c6a8f863f5aeff5e49c8ce6a2e70d1c778e52b905e6ead910ca82b2/DSC08747.jpg" /><img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e52b0f5bc47ad599f91da3711ef7976f5de85e2106199c2cc249c9f21efb42df/DSC08695.jpg" data-mid="73592777" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e52b0f5bc47ad599f91da3711ef7976f5de85e2106199c2cc249c9f21efb42df/DSC08695.jpg" /> <img width="850" height="1276" width_o="850" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dabc60a3d7387dd27120cfe3a40a2187523421f050e76f8e9e7fb3e372977152/DSC08752.jpg" data-mid="73592945" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/850/i/dabc60a3d7387dd27120cfe3a40a2187523421f050e76f8e9e7fb3e372977152/DSC08752.jpg" /><img width="850" height="1276" width_o="850" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f283cdf47b987675392c4620133cace2b2da2da344ef86f9a2b14220fde276a0/DSC08759.jpg" data-mid="73592907" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/850/i/f283cdf47b987675392c4620133cace2b2da2da344ef86f9a2b14220fde276a0/DSC08759.jpg" /> https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Every-time-before-W139 Mon, 01 Jun 2020 17:55:14 +0000 Eulàlia Garcia Valls https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Every-time-before-W139 Every time before (W139) (2019) <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8435ceaf6b5b0dc0cce221705ab296aef9b8dd90661a216f7867e86addfcdd7/2019_10_17_0055_W139_Speak_Memory_Photo_Ernst_van_Deursen_High_Res.jpg" data-mid="73607396" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8435ceaf6b5b0dc0cce221705ab296aef9b8dd90661a216f7867e86addfcdd7/2019_10_17_0055_W139_Speak_Memory_Photo_Ernst_van_Deursen_High_Res.jpg" /><img width="1296" height="864" width_o="1296" height_o="864" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/add5696a968cda2aeb25e21510a742bd1444bedc8d8d96ce6f615dc07133b649/2019_10_17_0058_W139_Speak_Memory_Photo_Ernst_van_Deursen_High_Res.jpg" data-mid="73607399" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/add5696a968cda2aeb25e21510a742bd1444bedc8d8d96ce6f615dc07133b649/2019_10_17_0058_W139_Speak_Memory_Photo_Ernst_van_Deursen_High_Res.jpg" />Photographs by Ernst van Deursen Time based sound installation; ‘speak, memory’, W139, Amsterdam.24 hour delayed accumulative recording played continually for the duration of the exhibition, 4 condenser microphones, 6 headphones.

Its primary material is sound, and you are part of it: an unobtrusive arrangement of microphones records ambient events in the room even as her speakers are playing. What is playing, meanwhile, is something like a stack of days. The microphones document the presence of visitors while the exhibition is open, and every 24 hours an overdubbed layer will be added to the whole, such that the final recording is a three-week mille-feuille of chancy sonic incidents. What you hear is what happened here at the same time yesterday, and – a certain distance into the piece – on the yesterdays before.”2 2 Martin Herbert’s excerpt for the catalog of the exhibition ‘Once a Closed Guarded Secret’. https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Desplacar-5-cm Mon, 01 Jun 2020 18:21:04 +0000 Eulàlia Garcia Valls https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Desplacar-5-cm Desplaçar 5 cm (2016) <img width="849" height="1276" width_o="849" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a2263f59583bf984d018fc37ae991aaf4564783ffcb511ee0d16a024e0af050/IMG_8350.jpg" data-mid="73612495" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/849/i/2a2263f59583bf984d018fc37ae991aaf4564783ffcb511ee0d16a024e0af050/IMG_8350.jpg" /> <img width="849" height="1276" width_o="849" height_o="1276" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3a42d6d718c89503b0fbc3511800c1f5846ee585905f2372e8880d20187a0850/IMG_8358.jpg" data-mid="73612496" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/849/i/3a42d6d718c89503b0fbc3511800c1f5846ee585905f2372e8880d20187a0850/IMG_8358.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="849" width_o="1276" height_o="849" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/186ffc702e1a15e77c6a11b12586a761e2ea1650deb98812c7e6746f7e058aef/IMG_8413.jpg" data-mid="73612512" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/186ffc702e1a15e77c6a11b12586a761e2ea1650deb98812c7e6746f7e058aef/IMG_8413.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="849" width_o="1276" height_o="849" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c5b71473654cf093787508fc3097d76f210eee59ffa43d3dd9b5679809edb82/IMG_8438.jpg" data-mid="73612518" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7c5b71473654cf093787508fc3097d76f210eee59ffa43d3dd9b5679809edb82/IMG_8438.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="849" width_o="1276" height_o="849" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a056216d9122ec08bf756db78c986f872590f495054046c90c967d433acb15f/IMG_8370.jpg" data-mid="73612497" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0a056216d9122ec08bf756db78c986f872590f495054046c90c967d433acb15f/IMG_8370.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="849" width_o="1276" height_o="849" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8f29cbc1bb8017968522a54d80e05573891417baefd56d478a02e47df9cb819/IMG_8463.jpg" data-mid="73612519" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8f29cbc1bb8017968522a54d80e05573891417baefd56d478a02e47df9cb819/IMG_8463.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="849" width_o="1276" height_o="849" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b172da5bbe7fa0fe635b95917fcfefef920ff695df8a33be43d434ab931a8fc8/IMG_8378.jpg" data-mid="73612498" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b172da5bbe7fa0fe635b95917fcfefef920ff695df8a33be43d434ab931a8fc8/IMG_8378.jpg" /> <img width="1276" height="849" width_o="1276" height_o="849" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b23f9056b2de6cc71cb9016a72eef74f7401d342ee9b600bb9303d067866eed/IMG_8398.jpg" data-mid="73612511" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b23f9056b2de6cc71cb9016a72eef74f7401d342ee9b600bb9303d067866eed/IMG_8398.jpg" /> Intervention during the exhibition ‘APERTUS 01: The ass between two chairs’; Gallery Àngels Barcelona, Barcelona. During the course of the workshop ‘APERTUS 01: The ass between two chairs’ I have worked disrupting the common space perception by gambling with conjecture, truth and the unnoticed with the project A common view. For the show of the resulting works, I present another site-specific intervention, Desplaçar 5 cm: along the time the exhibition is open, I am moving all the artworks showed in the room five centimeters towards the gallery entrance. Day by day, and one by one, at the end of the exhibition every artwork are displaced five centimeters to the door. The traces of pencil line and the holes in the wall, done during the exhibition set-up, make visible this intervention. https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/A-common-view Mon, 01 Jun 2020 18:22:42 +0000 Eulàlia Garcia Valls https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/A-common-view A common view (2016) <img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef648bb52ddaaac53f8179993f2d1cf9d9c2059a9832bd95233ba97d9ed5b714/IMG_7933.jpg" data-mid="73611093" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef648bb52ddaaac53f8179993f2d1cf9d9c2059a9832bd95233ba97d9ed5b714/IMG_7933.jpg" /><img width="1276" height="850" width_o="1276" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5adbb9a06599ff495ac2b7b034285436a9c501f5263602d55194ddd8df0ed6ed/IMG_7938.jpg" data-mid="73611092" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5adbb9a06599ff495ac2b7b034285436a9c501f5263602d55194ddd8df0ed6ed/IMG_7938.jpg" />Photographs by Duna Vallès Site-specific installation; Escola Massana drawing room, it is produced during the workshop ‘APERTUS 01: The ass between two chairs’, Barcelona.White paint, charcoal, pencils, markers, waxes. Inside the Escola Massana there is a drawing room, with all the walls covered with random drawings, graffitis and tags from the students. The intervention in this case consists in turning upside down all theses graffitis placed upon the walls. As a first step, I have taken photographs of all the drawings, tags, dirtiness. After, I have painted the entire room white again, I have projected (with a beamer) the photographs upside down, painting all the tags and others marks in the same place they were placed but now 180o twisted. <img width="1276" height="849" width_o="1276" height_o="849" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b455d304f467ce7438576450b6f79011633e835b8fe7a1f79acb3ced9dcbe017/Screen-Shot-2020-06-05-at-17.20.35.png" data-mid="73611181" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b455d304f467ce7438576450b6f79011633e835b8fe7a1f79acb3ced9dcbe017/Screen-Shot-2020-06-05-at-17.20.35.png" /> https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Duivenvoordestraat-79-A-3012-PE-Rotterdam Mon, 01 Jun 2020 18:24:23 +0000 Eulàlia Garcia Valls https://eulaliagarciavalls.com/Duivenvoordestraat-79-A-3012-PE-Rotterdam Duivenvoordestraat 79 A, 3012 PE Rotterdam (2014/16) <img width="1276" height="848" width_o="1276" height_o="848" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7dbc2fc0310b5b4ba92253da93ca39a961af16297f1fc68eae5605d54ac85498/IMG_8510.jpg" data-mid="73874835" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7dbc2fc0310b5b4ba92253da93ca39a961af16297f1fc68eae5605d54ac85498/IMG_8510.jpg" /> Artist book (envelope, 19 pages, 175x544 mm, digital printing), 9 letters, 9 different installations in my room; Barcelona and Rotterdam. I began this project when I was living in Rotterdam. During my stay there, I asked for the participation of my friends and family from Barcelona to start the project. By mail correspondence, I asked these people to send me a letter if they thought they were in a situation in which I will take part of it if I was in Barcelona. The letter contained: name of people involved, date, place, and some material from this event or the space where this happened. After a while, I collected nine letters that contained nine different situations. During my move to Barcelona, I reconstructed these situations, explained in the letters I received, using my room as space and all the furniture as material to make the installations. <img width="850"

Research project that collects a processual, collective, curatorial and editorial work; Rotterdam and Barcelona. Printed edition april 2015: 66 pages, 148x210 mm, soft cover, digital printing. This is a research project that looks to cut across authorship and authority of art producers. The project is developed by a succession of interrelated actions and decisions. The aim is to undermine individual authorship in art production, working through the idea of collectivity in the production process. During the first part of the project, named ‘De Verbinding’, and placed in Rotterdam, it is proposed a metodology to force the contamination and influence between producers during creative processes. A production chain is proposed: you have to produce from an artwork that you are receiving from another person. When the project has to be shown in an exhibition room, the problems arise: in a meeting with all the participants, it is asked to find out together which way will be the best to show and communicate all the project. When the format of an event or a performative talk is proposed to replace the tipical format to exhibit artworks, the general reaction of mostly everyone is a total negation: they want to have the material artworks placed in the walls. And then, is where the confrontation and contradiction appears: the necessity of the individual object, the confrontation between the main idea and the “participants” ones and the delegation of this important choice to the person who had started the research (meaning the delegation of the authority of the project itself). Understanding this situation as an unexpected and undermining shift of the project towards itself, I decided to place all the artworks in the walls of the exhibition room, and during the opening offer to the public to draw, paint, react with pens in the space between the pieces. With this gesture it is possible to make another shift towards the idea of collective and community, but this time thanks and coming from the imprint of the active public. After the opening, all the artworks are put down, and what it is kept in the room is all the traces the public has left.
