“Curated by Latitudes, “Hello Everyone”—Laia Estruch’s largest exhibition to date—transforms the Museo Reina Sofía, in Madrid, into a resonant space for voice and sculptural presence. Across 27 works spanning more than a decade, Estruch shows how she has developed a performance language that is both physical and sonic, sculpting space with, and for, the force of vocalisation.” → Continue reading

“Laia Estruch. HELLO EVERYONE”
26 February–1 September 2025
Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid
Opening: 25 February 2025, 8pm
Curated by Latitudes
Latitudes is thrilled to announce the opening of “HELLO EVERYONE”, a solo exhibition dedicated to the work of Catalan artist Laia Estruch (Barcelona, 1981).
Over the last fifteen years, Estruch has produced a consistently personal body of work that treats the human voice as a material reality—an expressive force and a medium expelled from the body. Her work has spanned ancestral poetry and post-punk music but has increasingly moved beyond the performance of spoken or sung words, and towards a sonic language that explores raw communicative effects, body consciousness and non-human agency. The articulation of noises and meanings often encompasses and exceeds human vocal language: breathing, exclamation, mumbling, ululation, cries and whispers. This process has evolved in tandem with creating often monumental sculptural settings for each of her vocal projects, resulting in steel slides, inflatable buoys or giant net traps, for example. These have become surrogate bodies in themselves, as well as temporary dramatic stages and interpretive scores for creating scenes and routines that the artist has termed vocal “rehearsals”.
“HELLO EVERYONE” takes the form of a fragmentary and vociferous archive spanning live events, sculpture, audio installation, moving images, graphic works and visual scores. This ambitious exhibition acts as a living-and-breathing storage that reconfigures a body of work, as well as works-as-bodies and spans the breadth of Estruch’s artistic research to date while engaging with her history as a performer. Forming a fluid relationship between active and inactive modes of presentation, and questioning the conventions of displaying and performing artworks, “HELLO EVERYONE” explores the sense and sincerity of verbal expression and the agency of the female voice.

A publication accompanying the exhibition will offer the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the artist’s work. Designed by her longtime collaborator Ariadna Serrahima (Oficina del Disseny) and published by the Museo Reina Sofía, it will include a new text by artist Sharon Hayes (Estruch’s former professor at The Cooper Union) reflecting on performance pedagogy; the essay “Voice-Body-Sculpture” by Latitudes, the exhibition curators, which offers the first in-depth overview of Estruch’s practice; and a conversation between the artist and Marc Navarro, who curated Estruch’s 2019 exhibition at Espai 13, Fundació Miró. The monograph will be available in Spring 2025 in Spanish and English editions.
“HELLO EVERYONE” will take place on the fourth floor of the museum’s Sabatini building, and run concurrently with exhibitions dedicated to Huguette Caland (19 February-25 August 2025) and Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa (28 May-20 October 2025), amongst others. It will also coincide with several events programmed in Madrid around the 44th edition of ARCOmadrid art fair (5–9 March 2025).

Max Andrews reviews Ibon Aranberri’s exhibition “Entresaka” at ARTIUM Museoa for frieze

Max Andrews reviews Ibon Aranberri’s survey exhibition “Entresaka”, the ARTIUM Museoa – Museo de Arte Contemporáneo del País Vasco in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country) for frieze magazine:
“The exhibition’s evocative title, ‘Entresaka’ (‘thinning’ in the Basque language), accounts for the show’s apparent evasiveness, evoking the forestry management practice of selectively felling individual trees in order to promote overall woodland health and diversity. The artist’s most representative and extensive projects are duly cut down as if to their stumps in order that more marginal works may be afforded more light.”

The exhibition has been coproduced with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, where it was presented between November 2023 and March 2024 under the title “Vista parcial” (Partial View). It is co-curated by Manuel Borja-Villel and Beatriz Herráez.
