Anna Irina Rusell participates in La nit dels museus at Museu Can Framis

On Saturday, May 19 from 7:00 pm to 1:00 am, the artist-in-residence Anna Irina Russell participates in The Night of Museums 2019 as part of a collaboration between Hangar and the Fundació Vila Casas. For this occasion, the artist presents the site specific installation “The coconut effect”, which can be visited at the Can Framis contemporary art museum of the Fundació Vila Casas, located in the Poblenou neighborhood.

The Coconut Effect is set up as a channel for communication via gameplay, creating a space for relating between subjects, sound and space that is modified and fed back into itself during the unfolding of each game. That which is realistic is not necessarily real, but is that which has the appearance of being real.  Using the sport of Ping-Pong and starting with the disassociation between the physical object and the aural object, a series of sounds are activated and coexist in a single ambience as a result of the actions of the participants, exploring falseness and the overlapping of very different realities, so as to generate a new fictitious space within our hearing.
