jueves, 12 de marzo de 2026

9:30–18:30 h Visitas de estudio

19:30 – 20:30 h | Hamaca, un archivo a contrapelo: proyecciones de Jaione Camborda, Raquel Friera y Cecilia Barriga

El archivo se sostiene sobre unos puntales que llamamos taxonomías; al mismo tiempo, por dentro lo recorre una malla invisible que, a contrapelo, es capaz de reconectar todo. Desde la inmensidad del fondo audiovisual de Hamaca, este programa hilvana tres piezas que abren mundos marcados por la austera relación entre cuerpos. La intensidad física y simbólica de un ritual ancestral en Rapa das Bestas (Jaione Camborda, 2017), filmado de cerca con la sensibilidad que favorece la película; la vulneración de derechos y el vacío legal de los CIE que denuncia 1.432.327 m² (Raquel Friera, 2012), cuestionando, al mismo tiempo, el papel de la artista mediadora; y, por último, el torrente de afectos que retrata Im Fluss (Cecilia Barriga, 2007), acompañando con una handycam a dos mujeres que piensan la pérdida mientras celebran una vida compartida.

viernes, 13 de marzo de 2026

10:30 – 13 h Visitas de estudio

17 – 19 h | Talleres Abiertos

Ali Arévalo / Oriol Arnedo Casas / Kate Bohunnis / Ari Cardozo/ Mourae / Eduard Ruiz / Laura Sub1 / Silvia Zayas / Huaqian Zhang / Víctor Pérez-Pallarès Setó / Aura Roig / Sara Miravet Núñez / Grandeza Studio / Efe Ce Ele / Lara Campos / Lumbung Press/ #Blendícete / Hamaca

19 – 20 h | How Do You Do?

Conversación con Caroline Dumalin, Devrim Bayar y Barbara Horvath

La charla “How Do You Do?” explora, a partir de su doble sentido —“¿cómo estás?” y “¿cómo lo haces?”— las prácticas y valores institucionales que no siempre son explícitos ni debatidos públicamente, así como las dinámicas que sostienen las programaciones, las relaciones entre contexto local y global y los procesos colectivos que definen las identidades institucionales.

20:30 – 22 h | Sentía voces dentro de mi cabeza, sí, nos susurraban

Performance con Ali Arévalo, Ari Cardozo, Aura Roig, Kate Bohunnis, Eduard Ruiz, emocee, Lara Campos, Laura Sub1, Mourae, Oriol Arnedo Casas, Victor Pérez-Pallarès Setó

Lxs artistas residentes de Hangar proponen una performance colectiva que activa un espacio de escucha e imaginación compartida. A través de reflexiones, relatos fragmentarios y derivas mentales, las voces individuales se entretejen hasta configurar un cuerpo colectivo que susurra, piensa y resuena dentro y fuera de la cabeza.

Latitudes’ 20th anniversary and updated Portfolio

Download portfolio here: https://www.lttds.org/projects/#pdf 

To mark Latitudes’ 20th anniversary this April 2025, we have refreshed the design of our Portfolio. The 10th edition is available in desktop, mobile, and print formats.

Looking back, our first anniversary in April 2006 was a whirlwind. We were deep in the editorial process of LAND, ART: A Cultural Ecology Handbook (published in December 2006), an anthology co-published by the Royal Society of Arts in the framework of their Arts & Ecology programme (2005–10) and Arts Council England. Amid that hectic process, we forgot to commemorate.

“LAND, ART: A Cultural Ecology Handbook” was launched on December 12, 2006, as part of the RSA-organised conference “No Way Back” at the London School of Economics and Political Science in London.

Five years later, in 2010, we marked the occasion with our 22nd newsletter – our first featuring a birthday candle. At the time, we were gearing up for a road trip from Barcelona to London to take part in another milestone: Tate Modern's 10th AnniversaryTo mark the occasion, artist Maurizio Cattelan and curators Cecilia Alemani and Massimiliano Gioni organised the second edition of NO SOUL FOR SALE - A Festival of Independents, which occupied Tate's Turbine Hall for a long weekend in mid-May 2010. Our journey was itself an artwork—Martí Anson, in his role as artist-cum-chauffeur, drove us to London and back as part of his project Mataró Chauffeur Service, ensuring we arrived in style (or rather truly tired) for the celebration.

For our 10th anniversary in 2015, we undertook our first major website revamp and also produced a limited edition of four beautifully designed tote bags (now sold out). The complete set was soon featured in the exhibition “A short history of the art book bag (and the things that go in them)” (24 August–24 October 2015) at the Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong, curated by Ingrid Chu, Curator of Public Programmes. 

In 2018, one of the totes—Lawrence Weiner's THE CREST OF A WAVE—was acquired by Tate Archive and presented at The McManus Museum and Galleries in Dundee, Scotland (2 November 2018–17 February 2019).

April 2020 marked 15 years of our curatorial practice. Amid a strict lockdown, celebrating was far from our minds. Instead, we went into “cave mode” and used the time to rebuild our website—a surprisingly productive endeavour. Many coffees and moons later, when the redesign was finally complete and we looked up from our screens, we still had weeks of lockdown ahead of us.

The 2020 redesign remains largely intact today, with a few updates, including the font.


We can't believe two decades have flown by since we decided to give it a go as freelancers. This April 2025 finds us recovering from two major exhibitions that opened this past February– two much-anticipated solo exhibitions in Madrid. The first is the survey of Mexican-born, Bilbao-based artist Jorge Satorre at the Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in Móstoles. The second is also a survey, featuring 10+ years of work by Barcelona-based artist Laia Estruch, at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. Both exhibitions are accompanied by the artists’ first monographs, covering works created from 2011 to the present. Estruch’s monograph will be available later in Spring, while Satorre’s, co-published by Museo CA2M and Caniche Editorial, is already available for purchase online (€30, including shipping within Spain) here and from Museo CA2M front desk.

Speaking of books, we are pleased to announce that our publications are now more widely accessible. The Library and Documentation Centre of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid, Spain) has been added to the list of institutions where a complete (or nearly complete: monographs such as Lara Almarcegui’s have long been out of print) collection of Latitudes publications is available for public reference.

Rasmus Nilausen’s “Theatre of Doubts” in Palma

Danish-born, Barcelona-based artist Rasmus Nilausen is presenting, until November 22, 2024, a version of his installation “The Theatre of Doubts” (2021) in the group show “Especies de espacios. Una reflexión colectiva sobre qué pensar de este mundo” at Galería Pelaires in Palma, Mallorca. 


(Above and below) Rasmus Nilausen, “The Theatre of Doubts” (2021). Installation view in “Especies de espacios. Una reflexión colectiva sobre qué pensar de este mundo” at Galería Pelaires in Palma, Mallorca. Photos: David Bonet. Courtesy of the artist.




The work was originally commissioned for MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona’s inaugural triennial “Panorama” titled “Notes for an Eye Fire” (October 2021–February 2022), curated by Hiuwai Chu (MACBA’s Head of Exhibitions) and Latitudes

For Galería PelairesNilausen selected a range of works from the original seven rows that composed the installation. The original version consisted of 49 paintings of varied sizes produced between 2014 and 2021, presented on wooden easels with a peculiarity that became one of the show's most beloved features: their cartoon-like feet. The installation filled the entire circular room of MACBA’s Meier building.

The exhibition wall text in “Panorama 21. Notes for an Eye Fire” written by Max Andrews explained:

Rasmus Nilausen’s installation of paintings is a homage to philosopher Giulio Camillo’s sublime and ridiculous attempt to explain the entire universe and allow all its relations and meanings to be beheld at once. Camillo built his “Theatre of Memory” in Venice in around 1530. Inverting the perspective of classical theatre, a single spectator could stand on a central “stage” to look out at an auditorium of seven rows of seven pictures. An occult matrix of divine, celestial, and terrestrial knowledge, this mystical rhetorical device enabled the entirety of existence and its workings to be called to mind and read off. Evidently flawed and over-ambitious, Nilausen’s liberal revival of the memory theatre format draws on 49 works from his own painterly and allegorical universe. Visitors are invited to wander among images that seem to be going for a walk, adopt multiple viewpoints, see unfamiliar connections, and summon new memories. The first row takes on the seven planetary deities of Camillo’s Renaissance design: Diana (the Moon), Mercury, Venus, the Sun (represented by a banquet), Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Produced by MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona with the support of the Danish Arts Foundation.

More about the work, here (pdf).

Giulio Camillo was a sixteenth-century Italian philosopher, most notable for conceiving “Theatre of Memory”.


Nilausen is also exhibiting “Fixed Ideas,” a solo show at EtHall Gallery in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, presenting new and recent works. The show will be on view until November 7, 2024.

Max Andrews’ Manifesta 15 highlights in frieze

Max Andrews from Latitudes (a frieze Contributing Writer) and Angel Lambo (Associate Editor of frieze) shared six highlights of Manifesta 15 for frieze.com 

The 2024 edition of the roving biennial spans 12 cities in and around the Barcelona Metropolitan area, making it one of the most ambitious in scale and reach. However, while its extensive geographical footprint is impressive, questions remain about whether the quality of the exhibitions lives up to its ambitious scope. A hotly debated topic during the opening days was whether the venues’ varying sizes complemented or engulfed the works on display, as is the example of the Tres Xemeneies (Three Chimneys), the colossal former thermal power station by the Besòs river. With over 90 participants and a wide array of interventions, events, and talks, an additional challenge lies in ensuring a cohesive experience across all locations.

Reviews, opinion columns, profiles, and features here.

This month marks 20 years of Max Andrews contributing to frieze magazine. Max’s inaugural review in 2004 featured an exhibition of Danish artist Jesper Just at Midway Contemporary, written while working as a Curatorial Fellow at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. 

Over the last two decades, Max has written +60 texts exploring topics including ecologyinstitutional thinkingopen call fatigue, the history of IVAM – Spain’s pioneering Modern Art Museum – highlights for ARCOmadrid (2024, 2023, 2022, 2020 editions), or Barcelona's intricate cultural landscape, among others.

Max Andrews reviews Rosa Tharrats's exhibition “Refugia” at Bombon Projects for Artforum

Max Andrews’s first contribution to Artforum reviews “Refugia”, the first solo exhibition of Rosa Tharrats at Bombon Projects in Barcelona, which opened on March 20, 2024. Andrews’ review coincides with the first issue under the new editorial eye of Tina Rivers Ryan, the magazine’s recently appointed editor-in-chief. 

“One could have imagined the exhibition inside as much a sanctum for a spiritual retreat for unwinding the mind/body dualism as an outré couture collection without humans, where inscrutable organic divinities dressed for auspiciousness.”

Presentation by Ruth Clinton & Niamh Moriarty and Askeaton Contemporary Arts around “The Pilgrim” research, 6 May 2023 at 12 pm

Carrer Pou de la Figuera, Barcelona. Courtesy Eulàlia Rovira.


Presentation by Ruth Clinton & Niamh Moriarty and Askeaton Contemporary Arts around “The Pilgrim”
Saturday 6 May 2023, 12 pm

Carrer Pou de la Figuera 16, baixos. 08003 Barcelona
In English. Limited space. Reservations: info@lttds.org

Irish artists Ruth Clinton & Niamh Moriarty will present their work as part of a two-week residency in Barcelona and their approach to the extraordinary story of “The Pilgrim” (narrated here – an 18th-century Barcelona merchant who ended up living his last sixteen years in penance in the Irish town of Askeaton. They will be accompanied by the project co-curators Michele Horrigan and Sean Lynch from Askeaton Contemporary Arts who will highlight some of their recent programmes.

The Pilgrim” is a pilot exchange programme linking Barcelona with southwest Ireland, Latitudes with the organisation Askeaton Contemporary Arts), and Ruth Clinton & Niamh Moriarty with Catalan artist Eulàlia Rovira, who hosts this event in her studio.

Illustration found during Latitudes’ research at the Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona (Casa de l'Ardiaca).

Throughout 2023, artist residencies and a public programme will enhance new artistic and curatorial research, and create new possibilities for international collaboration.

The Pilgrim’s curatorial framework derives from an extraordinary story from over two centuries ago. It is recalled that a Barcelona merchant named Don Martínez de Mendoza, one of the wealthiest men in Catalonia during the mid-1700s, murdered his son-in-law to avenge the death of his daughter in childbirth in a Barcelona convent years before. Don Martínez ended up living his last sixteen years as a pilgrim in penance in Askeaton, County Limerick. A cryptic inscription can still be found in the cloister of Askeaton Friary: “Beneath lies the Pilgrim’s Body, who died January 17, 1784”.

The Pilgrim” is supported by the Irish Arts Council’s International Residency Initiatives Scheme 2022.
