In English
Visitors are invited to gather in front of LISBETH’s Guard House at 4pm for a brief introduction to the exhibition followed by an artist talk at 4:30 in LISBETHs first floor.
Alba Balmaseda Domínguez combines architectural practice with research and teaching. Her work explores public space, the body–space relationship, and architectural materiality through design, performance, and full-scale construction.
Ines and Alba have been collaborating on artistic research projects related to the social aspects of bathing culture in Sicily and Switzerland. Together they discovered the botanical garden in Favignana, where the research for Fertility of Stone started. They are currently collaborating with Kathrin Doppler (Bagno Populare, Baden CH) and will hold a joint residency in Trapani, Sicily, this spring.
In this talk they will reveal some of the complex layers of their research and share about their ongoing and future collaborations.
