SUMMARY:Blanca Tolsà and Albert Tarrats. microdesfase
DESCRIPTION:  \nWith microdesfase [micro-gap]\, Blanca Tolsà and Albert Tarrats transform the access stairway to the terrace of the Museu Tàpies into a sonorous\, choreographic organism. Through movement\, voice and live modulation\, they activate a dialogue with the reverberating acoustics of the space\, creating a kaleidoscopic landscape where the body\, sound and technology mutually alter each other. \nThe piece begins with a marginally unstable tone\, insisting on it until it gives way to tiny shifts and harmonic tensions: tonalities that emerge like an organic relief\, an auditory mirage that defies perceptions\, encouraging a certain kind of hallucination. \nThe sound injected into the space returns transformed: the architecture breathes\, responding in an unexpected way\, enlivening its own memory. It is no longer an inert container\, but converts itself into a shared\, porous body. The activation of the surroundings—seeking to refer to the practice of Antoni Tàpies himself\, reviving the everyday as a potentially magical dimension—emphasises subtle gestures\, miniscule shifts and the echoes that persist when the main sound fades. \nJust like Tàpies\, who gazed intently at a wall to achieve some degree of illumination inspired in Zen practice\, microdesfase proposes a contemplative experience where careful listening reveals the concealed bounty of what apparently seem insignificant. \nLocated in a transition space\, on the way to the Tàpies’ Mitjó [Sock] sculpture\, the performance calls on the public to inhabit a space of auditory illusion and sensorial alteration. In this case\, vision is blurred and listening becomes the focal point of an experience that is at once collective and intimate\, where sound seems to arise both out of the body and out of the air surrounding it\, erasing the boundaries between emission\, echo and reflex. \n  \nBlanca Tolsà (Ontinyent\, 1991) is a dancer and choreographer based in Barcelona. Her artistic research explores the relationship between voice\, movement and sound\, emphasising their a-synchronicities. Through her pieces\, she posits spaces that play with perception\, leading to illusions\, displacement and dissonance. \nTolsà has been a resident artist in creative production centres like La Caldera\, Graner\, Fabra i Coats\, Roca Umbert and CC Barceloneta. Her works include Ecoica (2022) and Parafonías (2025). She is currently expanding her practice into non-theatrical areas\, researching architectures with acoustic reverberations. Her works have been presented at festivals such as Dansa Metropolitana and Dansa València\, as well as in spaces like La Capella\, La Caldera and Danza en Breve. \nAs a performer\, she has been awarded the Premi Butaca 2020 for Wu Wei\, by Raquel Klein\, and the Premi de la Crítica 2024 for La Quijá\, by Siberia Paloma Muñoz. She has worked with numerous choreographers in the Catalan dance scene\, including Lipi Hernández\, Ariadna Montfort\, Raquel Klein\, Roberto Zappalà (IT)\, Albert Quesada\, La Fura dels Baus\, Magdalena Garzón\, Jacob Gómez\, Anna Macau\, Constanza Brncic\, Núria Guiu\, Siberia Paloma Muñoz\, Georgia Vardarou and João Lima. Tolsà graduated from the Professional Dance Conservatory of the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona\, and began her dancing career in the company for younger dancers IT Dansa\, doing various international tours. \n  \nAlbert Tarrats (Barcelona\, 1988) works with sound and electronics. Through live actions and the construction of sound objects and devices\, he explores alternative auditive formats and their relation to space\, listening and others. His practice is essentially collaborative\, in terms of creation and production\, and includes support for other artists in developing their works. He currently researches under the name Comprimir Muntanyes and is a member of the Ràdio Web MACBA Working Group. \n  \nActivity programmed as part of the Museu Tàpies series Following the Sun\, entitled Uncovering the Gaze\, curated by Carolina Ciuti. With the support and collaboration of Graner – Centre de creació de dansa i arts vives. \n  \nImage credit: Margaret Watts Hughes\, Impression Figure\, date unknown.

SUMMARY:Agnès Pe. Scherzo no. 19 (for circuits\, air and synthesis)
DESCRIPTION:  \na circuit deteriorating \na file that is corrupted \nfeedback that rises too much \n  \nSound as a physical material: not a vehicle\, but a presence. It doesn’t explain; it is. Its meaning does not come from an external interpretation\, but from its qualities—texture\, density\, form—and how it directly affects the body. Relating to the work does not involve decoding\, but immersion in a material regime that goes beyond language to work on the boundary between perception and experience. Listening is taken to the limit: a loop deteriorating\, a file corrupted\, feedback that rises too much. In a broken\, disjointed way\, the fragmentation prevents an unequivocal narrative. Matter makes sense through presence and interruption\, opening up spaces of uncertainty. Thus\, the work becomes a field of intensities: accumulation\, fracture and residue in which sound\, as a physical body\, persists and is transformed. \n  \nAgnès Pe pursues her artistic practice at the intersection between sound experimentation\, digital artefacts and subversive pop culture. She works with sound as her raw material\, exploring its ability to question conventions\, cause dissonances and generate new narratives. \nHer work centres on forgotten sound infrastructures\, technological errors and obsolete devices\, which she recovers and turns into creative tools. Using sound collage\, plunderphonics\, digital alteration and computer music\, she sees creation as a playful\, experimental process that does not seek closed answers\, but spaces for friction and dialogue with the listener’s expectations. Her practice straddles sound experimentation\, experimental radio and public space\, always seeking alternative forms of dissemination and reception of sound. \nHer work has been presented at Conde Duque\, Matadero\, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and CA2M (Madrid)\, at Tabakalera (San Sebastián)\, at Centro Botín (Santander)\, at MACBA (Barcelona)\, at Centre d’Art La Panera (Lleida)\, at Larraskito (Bilbao) and at the V2 Institute for the Unstable Media (Netherlands)\, as well as at festivals like BangFace (United Kingdom)\, Papiripar (Germany)\, Counterflows (Scotland) and Piksel (Norway). She has worked with RRS (Radio Museo Reina Sofía)\, RadioOn (Berlin) and Resonance Extra (United Kingdom). \nShe currently lives and works in Barcelona\, where she combines teaching\, radio production and sound experimentation. \n  \nAn activity for the Museums Night 2026 at the Museu Tàpies
