TALWEG: VISITAR MONUMENTS
The Talweg:Visitar Monuments proposal is divided into two phases. The first is delocalised and online. The second is located physically in Barcelona.

PHASE 1

– You can do this tour from any location.

We will visit the city’s hidden monuments.

You just need to bring your imagination and let your images flow as you listen to the audio.

– Do you imagine it like this? Leave the fountains behind and start climbing the stairs.

– The talweg is the line marking the deepest part of a valley and the course taken by fresh water.

– Like a column. You are looking at a monumental sculpture.

If you look closely, you will see more than one.

What if they could be moved to be conserved, to be contained?

– Now position yourself physically in the place and listen to the audios according to the map location. You will reach the Talweg to visit monuments.

TRAVESSIES

The Travessies are cross-cutting, temporary paths; the lands we retrace to move from one point to another. Faced with the urgent need to question bodies and return them to the centre of artistic interventions, we propose drifting away, moving around the spaces we have already lived in, to move. We reexamine the concept of ‘Travesías’ to trace spheres of resonance that put the body in vibration; sound journeys that allow us to get lost and alter our course, now more than ever, within cities: stimulating the territories and turning them into a potential framework for experimentation.

Some of the winning artists from the Art Jove 2020 call bring us closer to their artistic projects through listening, guiding us on an unknown journey that opens up infinite paths of circulation and movement. The proposal is based on the desire to activate projects spilling from the “online” format, involving bodies actively and referring to the first lifting lockdown measure: walking alone at set hours of the day.

A proposal from the Art Jove 2020 mediation team: pli-é collective (Eva Paià, Marina Ribot Pallicer, Angelica Tognetti).
