RECUERDOS DEL CAIXA FORUM CON LA FUNDACION FINESTRELLES

El 3 de noviembre formamos parte de un gran equipo en todos los sentidos. Un gran equipo en el que cada uno de sus miembros aportó emoción, calidez y talento durante el acto benéfico organizado por la Fundación Finestrelles en el Caixa Forum. La actuación de Pep Bou aportó guiños de geometría, infancia y delicadeza; mientras que cuando Monica Green subió al escenario, todo pequeña partícula asonora y glotona se sació de la potencia de su voz. Desde Colaboratorium, presentamos el video promocional de Finestrelles, "A tots ens agraden les galetes de xocola

DE LA MANO DE LA FUNDACIÓN FINESTRELLES EN EL CAIXA FORUM

Los grandes proyectos a veces empiezan de lo más aparentemente insignificante, poco trascendental, casi superfluo, un puro guiño. Me crucé casi por casualidad con la  Fundación Finestrelles, un hogar-residencia para disminuidos psíquicos donde viven unas 50 personas. Algo se encendió. Les llamamos, les sugerimos y nos sugirieron, nos reunimos... y crecieron las ideas. Arrancaremos nuestra colaboración con la Fundación Finestrelles de manera oficial en un acto benéfico que se celebrará el 3 de noviembre en el Caixa Forum de Barcelona. Compartiremos escenar

DETRÁS DE LA VENTANA. EN SAN FELICE CIRCEO CON CLAIRE BEVILACQUA

Estaba tumbada en una cama grande de una vieja casa blanca. Perdida en un pequeño pueblo de la costa oeste italiana, me rodeaba un jardín de bugambilias y olivos. Claire Bevilacqua, una surfista profesional venida de Australia, me había traído hasta ahí, a la casa que construyó su abuelo con sus propias manos hace más de un siglo atrás.  Y esa cama, con una virgen en la cabecera, vigilante, expectante, me cobijaría durante las cinco noches que pasaría en aquella naturaleza mediterránea. Cámara de video en mano, buscábamos historias en San Felice Circeo

LAUNCH OF NEW LAL CD: LET US BEGIN. IT HAS BEGUN.

[caption id="attachment_175" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="A section of the comic-book style poster which acts as the CD holder"] [/caption] Delighted. Really, the perfect word to describe this feeling is ‘delighted’.  To watch the planting of a seed, to see it being watered with such attention and care, and then to finally see the flower bloom can only be described as delightful. Rosina Kazi told me LAL was working on a new album almost two years ago. (Two years ago!?!?). The idea was this: imagine a year, any year. we live in ghettos. borders, chec

updates from Sarajevo

We’ve had a busy summer at Colaboratorium. Seeking inspiration and a change of scenery, Barcelona-based Andreea spent a month in a city she dearly loves: Sarajevo. However, the pace of change in the city shocked her. Old markets were giving way to McDonald’s and anonymously sleek shopping megacentres. She found solace for her concerns in the photographic collaboration with Sarajevo-based photographer Nino Jovišić. Chasing the sun and the disappearing Sarajevo they once knew, Nino and Andreea sought to tell the stories of the spirit of the city. The spirit that

CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY OUT OF A MESSY PUBLIC AND A BIT OF CHANCE

Originally published in Hiše magazine, March 2011 Your closest friends, your current and former lovers, were all once strangers to you. Maybe you studied at the same coffee shop during university. Maybe you lived in the same neighbourhood and kept running into each other on the street. Maybe you were both into skateboarding and met at the abandoned-pool-turned-skatepark. Whatever the particularities of the story, repetitive chance encounters are what form the basis of relationships. As architects and planners concerned with community building, our instinct is to ma

DECONSTRUCTING GENDER IN DAMASCUS

[caption id="attachment_76" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Noura Murad, Artistic Director of Leish Troupe"][/caption] At the moment I met Noura Murad in Damascus in the summer of 2008, I was struggling with the invisible signs my body was sending out without my explicit approval. I was born 1492km and three border crossings away, so physically I didn’t look all that different. However, people kept stopping me on the street to welcome me to Damascus.   And so I stopped and I observed. The first thing I noticed was that in terms of clothing (costumes?
