UN PAS A DOS
The pathways of creation. A discourse about method/s
april-may 2014
The sessions will take place at 19.30 h in El Gravat (Sant Miquel, 19)
The pathways and methods of creation often help us with a definition and a comprehension not only of artists and their works, but also of the strategies they have established in conceiving of, interpreting and intervening in the world.
This is a season of four open and relaxed dialogues with artists from different disciplines, focusing on the processes and mechanisms of creation, on their careers and their ongoing work, and on how this activity can help us to interpret and learn about reality.

Ferran Blancafort is an architect who teaches at the Escola d'Art i Superior de Disseny in Vic.
One of his concerns and points of departure is that space may be understood as a form created or conceived from a reference, physical or conceptual, material or virtual, which gives it its nature and perception. Architecture thus escapes conventional and professional boundaries.
He was the creator and coordinator of the seminar "El buit i el ple" held in Vic and Girona, and is the creator and coordinator of Sketchcrawl in Vic.
His starting points as an architect and artist, his work and his creative methods are the basis of his conversation with critic Anna Palomo .

She has published books of poetry Ahora, quizás, el juego (Noega, 1982), Cobalto (DVD, 1996), Dónde (DVD, 2006) and Peces que duermen, a collection of poetry which comprises a conversation with the works of sculptor Jordi Roura ( Libreieprogetti, 2012)
Her poetry, with its overwhelmingly intimate tone, starts with a lyrical reflection on the everyday towards a moral perspective regarding the person and society.
A discussion with the poet Antoni Clapés on the pathways of words, of poetry, of life.
