Paratext #76 with Anna Moreno, Paula García-Masedo and Jocelyn Moisson

This name, Paratext, hides a monthly program of performances by artists in residence at Hangar as well as artists on exchange grants. They present, in different formats, specific projects or parts of their work. The sessions are always open to the public with the purpose of enabling interaction with the artists themselves.

The next Paratext session will take place on Wednesday, May 22, at 7 p.m. in Hangar’s Sala Ricson.

Projects will be presented by:

Anna Moreno (Medium-term residency)
Anna Moreno is a visual artist working between Barcelona and The Hague. Her artistic practice is research-based and focuses on the unfinished nature of (historical and future) events, while questioning the processes of documentation in post-production. Her research interweaves concepts from finance, utopian architecture and speculative literature and takes the form of installations, films or events.

Paula García-Masedo (Long-term residency)
Paula García-Masedo’s work, which takes an installational approach to sculpture, is concerned with the capacity of objects, beings and territories to shape ways of living. Her practice is based on the search for existing materials that are incorporated into the work from their situated condition, through operations involving cutting, decomposition, aggregation or combination, written forms to pay attention to the technological, genealogical, affective and life chains. She is also interested in the organization of space. She has spent time living and working in the countryside, and is interested in an approach to the notions of transience and interdependence through the artistic process, its materials and sculptural expression.

Jocelyn Moisson (Residència Jiser)
His recent research has focused on writing history outside of linear time and its productivist imperatives. By transforming his way of approaching the question of time and welcoming other conceptions — liturgical, poetic or seasonal, for example — he initiates new stories of figures who have been excluded. He is currently working on the anti-modernist contribution in the work of Barbra Streisand through the observation of an à rebourd concept of time.

Free entrance.
