Visit to "In the Troubled Air..." with Maria Alcaide

Based on a personal selection of the works on show and in a dialogue with her own artistic project, Cuerpo de trabajo, Alcaide proposes a visit that focuses on the fatigue and gestures related with physical work as expressive and political forms. Throughout the tour, the artist forges a link between Lorca’s concept of duende and the somatic memory of work, while also reclaiming dejection and complaint as languages ​​that reveal the material and emotional imprints that work leaves on bodies. The voice, and particularly the quejío, here becomes a means to resistance. Alcaide offers a visit that brings the pain, the beauty and the legacy of the earth into dialogue with collective emotions and the troubled gesture.

With Lateral Views, the CCCB expands the exhibition narrative by means of voices which, in their singularity, help us to look, and look at ourselves, from other viewpoints, turning the exhibition into a living, questioning space that is open to multiple forms of meaning.
