Juan Cantizzani and Luisa Pastor. Eutropia. Tectonic Voices

Juan Cantizzani and Luisa Pastor. Eutropia. Tectonic Voices

From 16 May to 11 June 2023

Artists' studios 2

Juan Cantizzani (Córdoba, 1978) and Luisa Pastor (Alicante, 1977) are the artists who shaped the Eutropía project:Tectonic Voices. The collaboration between the two artists represents a fusion of horizons emanating from image, sound and text, whose multidisciplinary character has its starting point in the fictional worlds of Luisa Pastor, based on a graphic reinterpretation of the city - in the form of an expanded sculpture-, and in the sonorous creation by Juan Cantizzani, characterised by the incorporation of acoustic activations from electro-mechanical devices.

The Eutropía project:Tectonic Voices is a sculpture installation made using accounting book manuscripts on a wooden support, and which also uses sound from touch sensors which activate or make the installation resound, generating sound entities that, at first, escape our perception. In short, the project combines visual arts and new technologies to reflect on the chaos surrounding the city and the globalisation of the metropolis of the contemporary world.

Luisa Pastor is a graduate in Fine Arts from the University of Granada, with a PhD in Fine Arts, with a special mention from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche. In 2017, she studied under a postdoctoral grant awarded by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), at the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, under the direction of Dr. Cuauhtémoc Medina, in Mexico City. In 2020, she was selected to represent Spain in the biennial "Paper-Routes - Women to Watch" at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Her work has been exhibited in recent editions of ARCO in Madrid, and also in ARTBO, Bogotá, at the Nordés Gallery.

Juan Cantizzani studied Art, Science and Humanities at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (Netherlands) from 2008 to 2012. He has participated in classes at the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo, University of Alcalá de Henares, Manuel de Falla Courses in Granada, CDMC and the University of Málaga. He directed and coordinated the publications MASE-Historia y Presencia del Arte Sonoro in Spain in 2006 and 2014. His work has been exhibited in various programmes and spaces, such as Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid), Errant Sound (Berlin), Red Rouse Club (London) and Hangar (Barcelona).
