Albert Gironès (Valls, 1995)

He is a researcher, visual artist and cultural manager. Graduate in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and holding a Master’s degree in Cultural Production and Communication from the Ramon Llull University.

He works based on and towards achieving context through artistic research and intervention in reality. His practice maintains interests in folk tales, rumour-mongering and unimaginable stories associated with certain places, and he looks into the new construction of imaginaries through wonders, in the human desire to understand and in the experience of the  transcendental act. Many of his research processes include collaborations with other cultural agents, as well as specialists from other fields of knowledge.

His projects have been shown in exhibitions at the Santa Mònica Arts Centre, the Bòlit Centre for Contemporary Art, the Carme Contemporary Culture Centre or the Casal Solleric. He has taken part in artistic residencies at the Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg (Stuttgart), the Tsonami Arte Sonoro (Valparaíso),  the Rad’Art Project (San Romano di Mercato Saraceno) and Homesession (Barcelona), among others. He has also published texts through publishers such as Operaciones (San José) and Cossetània Edicions (Valls).
