Joan Bennassar Cerdà
Joan Bennassar Cerdà, Palma de Mallorca 1991
Period of residency: February
Joan Bennassar Cerdà and his artist’s work comes from an interest in the mechanisms of representation in the architecture and urbanism, and the effectiveness of these spaces to produce ideological legitimation in contemporary societies.
His work, either through filmic sequences, models, photographs, publications or other devices, is a way to generate different readings of progress and multiculturalism. The projects are constructed in a multidisciplinary way, using strategies of artistic production, fieldwork, mediation and intervention in context.
He has presented his work in centers and galleries such as Fabra i Coats Centre d’Art Contemporani (Futurs abandonats, demà ja era la qüestió, 2014); zona intrusa 8, Mataró; auditori MACBA (Futuro memories); Es Baluard, Museu d’art contemporani de Palma (Futuro performance i Tabula Rasa 2014); MUU Gallery Helsinki (Tabula rasa, 2014); Hilvaria studios, Tildburg, Holanda (Tabula rasa, 2014); Galerie RDV Nantes, Francia (Paradís Artificial, 2014); La Capella (Triple mortal, 2014); Hangar (PictoBcn, 2013); Maserre (Balcan dream, 2013); Galería Trama, (Premi ART<30 amb el projecte Permanent vacation, 2013); UNIBO, Bologna (Leggere Pasolini, 2013); Halfhouse (Collapsed House, 2013).
