Emboscades by einaidea will be presented on Monday 13 January at 7 p.m. at Llibreria Finestres d'Art i Còmic (Diputació, 250).
This book documents the first cycle of the Ambushes programme of the einaidea platform, carried out between April 2021 and November 2023 with the collaboration of the artists Sergi Aguilar, Marc Vives, Julia Spínola, Sociedad 0, Pep Vidal, MAIO, Rosa Tharrats, Francesc Ruiz and Jorge Satorre.
This series of interventions, collaborative and in situ, takes as its starting point an architectural and topographical space whose history echoes the colonial and patriarchal principles of the Spanish correctional and disciplinary system; a space where Eina Bosc's art and design training workshops are now located.
In addition to the process documents, reflective dialogues and artist texts included in this volume, there are analytical essays by Manuel Cirauqui and Jordi Colomer, curators of the programme, and the architect and artist Caterina Miralles, coordinator of a large part of the cycle.
The volume thus aims to compile, in a comprehensive way, a material with nuances and complexity that go beyond the visible results; it also documents the presentation events that gave rise to each of the Ambushes, carried out in collaboration with Eina students and participants from Barcelona's creative community.
This book also serves to open the next phase of an ongoing programme, which aims to consolidate a sustained dynamic of situated and collective research.
