FITO CONESA
Artist and Programmer
The BLABLANIGHTS series continued on October 13, 2021, featuring Fito Conesa, a key figure in the contemporary art scene.
With a body of work deeply immersed in music—from flamenco, Western and Indian classical music, to experimental soundscapes—his artistic practice spans video, theater, and performance. His works, ranging from playful pop explosions to profound lyrical expressions, have been exhibited in various museums and festivals.
Oslo Screen Festival 2010, Barcelona Loop Fair 2009-2012, Barcelona International Poetry Festival, Spanish Cultural Center of the Dominican Republic, Matadero Madrid, CaixaForum (Lleida, Tarragona, Barcelona), among many others.
He holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. He has worked on designing and teaching workshops for the educational department of the “la Caixa” Foundation. He worked as an art director for the “Santo Domingo Verde” campaign for the Santo Domingo City Council (Dominican Republic) and was part of the tutoring team at Sala d’Art Jove (2012).
He has contributed to various publications such as Zeitgeist: Variations & Repetitions (Save as… publications, 2010), Unique Window Display (Loft Publications, 2009), and Suite for Ordinary Machinery (Save as… publications, 2008). The latter became part of the library collections of Tate Modern (London), the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Reina Sofía, and MACBA.
From 2014 until the fall of 2017, he directed and coordinated Habitació1418, a project by CCCB and MACBA for young people aged 14 to 18.
