IN-SITU: BARCELONA

Composer and multidisciplinary artist Alberto Bernal, Frames Percussion ensemble and about 40 students from music schools in Barcelona participate in a collaborative artistic project that involves an intervention in public space.

Alberto Bernal’s recent work focuses on two lines: works in conventional spaces with audiovisual content of post-pandemic society (virtualisation, entertainment platform, functional music or accelerated information flows) and participatory projects in public space, which present a more utopian vision of the social, highlighting the recovery of public space, reflection on the human role in nature and sensitivity beyond the screen.

In this project, the transit and friction between both realms is explored: the virtualized interior space and the shared exterior that contains it. A transit between the containment of the enclosed experience and the overflow produced by its exit into the open space. A work with a discourse in whose content is its own rupture and abandonment, giving way to the multiplicity of discourses that occur in the unpredictability of the dialogue with the specificity of the streets of Sant Andreu (Barcelona).
