Free admission
exhibition hall
A review of the work of the filmmaker and artist Isabel Herguera (Sant Sebastià, 1961) from her beginnings in 1983 to the present. Its trajectory has developed from experimentation with drawing, video art, video installation and animation, and has explored methodologies and procedures that oscillate between artisanal and technological.
After a major retrospective in Sant Sebastià in 2024, this new exhibition presents, for the first time in Barcelona, some of the most relevant projects with particular attention to the creation processes, the work methods, the preparatory drawings and the travel quaderns.
The exhibition incorporates an unprecedented research on the relations between Catalonia and the Basque Country in the world of video art and proposes a journey through Herguera's creations: from the stage to Germany and the State Units, to the projects developed in Asia, a period in which he will begin to integrate new collaborative practices.
It is evident that there is a pedagogical vocation that, over the course of three decades, has led him to share his experience with other generations, continuing in the academic sphere or through workshops around the world.
Exhibition curated by Nekane Aramburu and produced by the Filmoteca de Catalunya, based on the exhibition “Isabel Herguera. Retrospective” at Kutxa Fundazioa (2024).
