My practice encompasses a variety of formats and disciplines, such as creation, education, curatorship, and thought. In my projects, I question and challenge several strategies of control and dominance that act over the body, language, and territory. I immerse myself in the contradictions and the poetics that reside in the creative process to inhabit cultural institutions based on imbuing imaginaries with new meaning. Far from seeking definitive solutions, my focus lies on expanding the boundaries of what is possible by inviting meetings and dialogues that allow for research and the revealing of alternative practices for cultural and artistic dissemination.

In 2021, MACBA launched the triennial Panorama, which aimed to "deepen its collaboration and dialogue with local artists and cultural agents". This second edition of Panorama retains the same aim but works towards it through a year-long series of interventions that take the project’s title literally, in order to question both the continuing relevance of the triennial (or biennial) format and its capacity to offer a panoramic image of the present.
Song for Many Movements: Scenes of Collective Creation

Eva Paià, Albert Gironès and Marina Ribot Pallicer
Curatorship: Sabel Gavaldón and María Berríos

Song for many movements is an ephemeral experiment in which the
ground floor of the museum becomes a stage for encounters,
conversations and shared listening. It is a provisional opening of
ongoing research, following its past and future genealogies, inside and
outside of the museum, thus exposing collective learning dynamics and
the questions raised in the process. The project is an invitation to
conceive the exhibition as a space to be inhabited. A display of
situated experiences, embodied archives and bodies of research that
emerge from the transversal work of the museum and beyond.
A Leaf Shapes the Eye
MACBA
Artist: Daniel Steegmann Mangrané
Commented visits: Eva Paià, Albert Gironès and Marina Ribot Pallicer
Curatorship: Hiuwai Chu and João Laia
November 16th 2023 — May 20th 2024
Every Sunday at 12h
With an aesthetic language close to Neo-Concretism, the artist explores the contamination and affinity of forms between nature, art, and architecture. Both in their sculptures, of extreme fragility and incorporating intervened organic material, and in the projections and creations of augmented reality, Steegmann Mangrané experiments with the correspondences between organic and geometric forms, as well as with the complex network of dependencies that occur in biological order.

To exhale words that have not yet been spoken, images that beg to be remembered, and vague visions that burst forth to be heard. Delving into the remnants of the world that still yearns to be a world is an act of courage that need not be justified by familiar responses. The trails that compose the present complicate our experiences, igniting the fervour of a forgotten or unknown state. They lead us into a temporal disruption, a kind of haphazard condition that gives shape to what is unsettling, mysterious, vast, yet simultaneously envelopes us.
Pansir-se com un pinzell a la foscor
Audiovisual piece
*This project is supported by the Institut d'Estudis Baleàrics through the Creation Grants 2022
Pansir-se com un pinzell a la foscor is an audiovisual piece that addresses the contradictions, complexities, and poetics inherent in the process and act of creation. It explores the verbs REPEAT, AFFECT, STEEP, SLIDE, and SPILL. Each of them is accompanied by images and a narrative about the process of drying up, of becoming like a body that is no longer able to exist on the surface.
