A slightly different approach to art

 A slightly different approach to art

At the initiative of Anna Gabriel Vinolas, a teacher at the Centre de Formació al Llarg de la Vida, a state-run adult education center in Andorra la Vella, I gave an artist talk and performed excerpts from the "Social Sculpture" workshop on October 21, 2025. It was a form of art in the classroom for one of her English conversation classes. A large portion of the participants were school teachers and professionals from different fields. The goal was to listen to and view art from a different perspective by adding an interactive section and an artist talk. The artist talk focused on a topic related to my mental health and hearing problems and how these affect my artistic vision and work as an artist, and conversely, how art affects my disabilities. It also provided an opportunity to discuss and explore a topic in an English conversation class that differed from the usual textbook and conversation exercises. I conducted two short social sculpture exercises with the group in the nearby Central Park of the capital. This was followed by the artist talk, which was a version of my previous artist talk, which I gave earlier this year as part of the "Deserters" project at the Oriel Y Bont Gallery of the University of South Wales.This was the third and final public event in association with my Empty Times - Empty Spaces project at Faber Andorra.

The talk and workshop were supported by Sandra Colell, project manager at Faber Andorra, and the Andorran government.

In The Forest - Land Art Workshop

 On October 17, I led a Land Art workshop for elementary school students aged 6-7 at the British College in Andorra la Vella. After a short, child-friendly introduction to Land Art, the workshop took place in the forest next to the school. The students worked largely independently. But it was one of those rare moments where one student used a natural object—in this case, a stone—as a carving tool while another created a moving installation. There was also a very long piece of rope, which I initially wanted to cut into small pieces. But then I decided against it. Because a large group of students needed to learn to work together while simultaneously exploring the space. The Workshop was part of my project in Andorra

Social Sculpture in the park

In the late afternoon of October 7, I led a Social Sculpture workshop for a group of 10- to 11-year-old schoolchildren. After each exercise, the children discussed their experiences. The schoolchildren participated in an after-school art activity program run by schools. The workshop took place in the Parc Central beside the Government Exhibition Hall in Andorra La Vella. Two more activities are currently scheduled for October: an artist talk featuring elements from the "Social Sculpture" workshop (Art in the Classroom) at an adult education college, and a land art workshop for elementary school children at the British College.

Empty Times – Empty Spaces

Empty Times – Empty Spaces

During the whole month of October I will be engaged with a new interdisciplinary project with the working title Empty Times - Empty Space at  Faber Andorra in La Massana, Andorra 

Faber Andorra is an individual residency program supported by the Government of Andorra and Institut Ramon Llull

Empty Times and Empty Spaces

The guiding principle for the implementation of this work project is partly based on the philosophical thoughts and ideas of Ma and Zen, originating from the Far East. I lived and worked in the Far East for a long time, which influenced my artistic concepts.

The Japanese use the term MA to describe the intentional distance created by a brief pause between actions or by the empty space between objects. A distance that is not emptiness or lost time, but rather a special connection. MA can be the silence and emptiness between the notes that create music, the brief pause that emphasizes an action, or the invisible volume for which a bowl was created. It is a spatiotemporal concept that is fundamentally different from the Western view of emptiness, which is geared towards apparent efficiency. In the West, we have neither this word nor a term for this concept.

It was originally planned as a solo project, but then, alongside my own work, I decided to ask four artists from different disciplines in Andorra to collaborate and share their own interpretations of the concepts of "Empty Times" and "Empty Space."

In addition, three workshops are planned: a Social Sculpture Workshop for children (10-11 years old), a classroom art discussion, and a Land Art Workshop for children (6-7 years old).
