New vinyl of the series Tàpies’ Chairs 2024

The Museu Tàpies presents the vinyl curated from the first edition of the series Tàpies’ Chairs, a collection of sound actions that took place as part of Tàpies Year. The first edition of this multidisciplinary series, brought together proposals by artists who worked with voice, spoken word and oral memory, using the Tàpies universe as a starting point for performative experimentation.

Actions, developed as part of the centenary of the artist’s birth, were created specifically for the museum and displayed diverse languages, ranging from music to text and gesture to sound, from unique perspectives. The first edition of the Tàpies’ Chairs series included the participation of MUOM, Félix Denuit, Biel Mesquida, Itziar Okáriz, Cabosanroque, Joana Gomila, Bartolomé Ferrando, Blanca Llum Vidal and Los Sara Fontán, Hugo Gómez-Chao Porta, Amidea Clotet (Cicle Difraccions), Eduard Escoffet, Mal Pelo and Niño de Elche.

The publication of this record responds to the desire to give continuity and permanence to a project designed to be experienced live. Capturing part of it on a physical medium such as vinyl, allows you to listen from a more intimate place, while prolonging the evocative power of the sound performances. By doing this, the Museu Tàpies reaffirms the value of listening and the sound archive, as active forms of transmitting artistic memory.

As part of the presentation, there will be an audition of the vinyl and the presence of some of the guest artists. In addition, anyone who wants to purchase the vinyl on this occasion will enjoy a special price of 25 euros (the official price is 30 euros).
