HOW ABOUT A LITTLE KISS, DON’T BE UNKIND

The exhibition HOW ABOUT A LITTLE KISS, DON’T BE UNKIND posits a hypothesis regarding the history of museography. It turns the spotlight on museographical devices because by rendering them visible, they are no longer seen as subsidiary. This inversion highlights their role in the exhibitionary complex: as conventions, we have internalised them as transparent but in reality they signify. Using an audio guide, we look back at five iconic moments in the history of exhibitions and their displays, represented in the exhibition space by means of five museographical devices.

ferranElOtro is a heteronym referring to a sought-after strategy of concealment that helps to show oneself through many other voices. A branch of subjectivity that, as a ventriloquist does, allows one to be more oneself, when one is other people. He has a background in Fine Arts and Art History. His career constantly fluctuates between a variety of skills, a voiceover characterised by articulating discourse based on selecting and editing content. He set up the graphic design office ferranElOtro Studio in early 2007. He was co-director, together with Irene Minovas, of the publishing company Save As... Publications between 2007 and 2013. He took over the artistic direction of Galeria Estrany-de la Mota between 2016 and 2018. Additionally, he has also developed his editorial activity by parasitizing the curatorial field with collective and individual exhibition projects. He moved to Medellín in 2014 and there combines this work with university teaching in the field of visual arts.
