T\u00e0pies\u2019 Chairs<\/span><\/i> is a season of multidisciplinary sound actions organised as part of the T\u00e0pies Centenary Year at the Fundaci\u00f3 Antoni T\u00e0pies in collaboration with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. It focuses on the voice and the word as a means of accompanying oral memory through sound. Each of the thirteen sessions will be led by an artist who will use the chair as a performative element to reconnect with T\u00e0pies\u2019 creative universe through original expressive languages and contemporary stagings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biel Mesquida presents the third chair, entitled <\/span>Textures: Ode for Antoni T\u00e0pies<\/span><\/i>: “<\/span>I shall sing a thousand and one shortcuts to the invisible world that underpins T\u00e0pies\u2019 work\u2014through rhythms and harmonies I have learnt from his thick layers and thin threads, his colourations and interweavings, his alloys and graffiti\u2026 I shall speak with all my soul of his blossoming exploits in the realms of fragility and risk, in the atmospheres of invention and whispers, in the murmurings of matter resurrected by him, as well as far more besides. With winged calligraphies and a user\u2019s gratitude I shall write the entire forest of signs that have opened the doors of my perception. It will be my act of thanksgiving for Antoni T\u00e0pies!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Biel Mesquida<\/strong> is a writer, biologist, critic and reader with a keen interest in the languages of art and science. His early novels, <\/span>L\u2019adolescent de sal<\/span><\/i> (1973) and <\/span>El bell pa\u00eds on els homes desitgen els homes<\/span><\/i> (1974), offered fresh perspectives amid the bleak and desolate landscape of Catalan literature. He coordinated the science and medicine section of the Gran Enciclop\u00e8dia Catalana (1972\u20131980) and was head of communication and publishing at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (1982\u20132011). His books, especially <\/span>Excelsior o el temps escrit<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Vert\u00edgens<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Els detalls del m\u00f3n<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Llefre de tu<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Carpe momentum<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Encarnacions<\/span><\/i>, are noted for their highly original and engaging use of language, conjuring up stirring musical rhythms. He is a regular contributor to numerous media outlets and has run the Festival de Poesia de la Mediterr\u00e0nia since setting it up in 1999.<\/span><\/p>\n
