Artesans. Construccions col·lectives de l'espai social.
"Craftsmen and Women" is a way of examining the tension polarised between the concept and construction, between genius and occupation, between the effect and persistence, between uselessness and practical utility, between that which is sublime and that which is everyday, between that which is high-brow and that which is popular.
It is a debate that is of special interest now that many creators are taking up aspects typical of the traditional crafts such as a mastery of techniques, the revival of proximity vis-à-vis the material they work on, painstaking care in the process, self-build, self-management, and the functionality and reproducibility of things.
All the projects presented in the exhibition are based on an experience of material or intangible construction, which combines aspects founded on collective effort, the transfer of knowledge, and the relationship with the territory or the social space.
