Eulàlia Rovira IN RESiDENCE at the School Caterina Albert

http://eulaliarovira.info/

Eulàlia Rovira (Barcelona, 1985) graduated in Fine Arts from the UB and did an Art in Context masters at the UdK in Berlin. Her artistic practice is shown and circulated through performances, photographs, videos and installations, in which she traces the principles that support western beliefs and how these beliefs are hard-wired into our bodies, our things and our language.

She has recently exhibited her work at Twin Gallery (Madrid), Capella de Sant Roc (Valls), La Panera Art Centre (Lleida), M|A|C (Mataró), La Bianyal (la Vall de Bianya), Maristany Art Centre (Sant Cugat), Sala Amadís Injuve (Madrid) and soon, as part of the Gallery Weekend in the etHALL gallery.

Since 2013, she has also worked in collaboration with the artist Adrian Schindler. They have exhibited together at the Bibracte Museum (Saint-Léger-sous-Beuvray, France), Sala Muncunill (Terrassa), Homesession i Fireplace (Barcelona), and in collective exhibitions or screenings, such as Galerie Martin Janda (Vienna), àngels barcelona, Turf Projects (Croydon, United Kingdom), Centre Cultural Montehermoso (Vitoria), ZKU - Center for Art and Urbanistics (Berlin), Fabra i Coats and La Escocesa (Barcelona). In 2018, they received a visual-arts grant from the Güell Foundation.

Biography written in 2020

School Caterina Albert

https://agora.xtec.cat/inscaterinaalbert/

This is the fifth that IES Juan Manuel Zafra is taking part in IN RESiDENCE. Its previous residents were Laia Estruch, Mariona Moncunill, Mònica Planes and Óscar Martín. Once again, the school is participating with a group of 4th-year compulsory secondary education (ESO) students.

/

The old Juan Manuel Zafra Secondary School, now known as Caterina Albert, was founded in 1892 in a modernist building. It was initially designed to house a refuge for poor women, but it was converted to an arts and crafts training school. Now it is a public centre with three ESO classes per year and two Baccalaureate classes that incorporates students from Primary schools in the area.

In 2020, the community of this public secondary school in the Camp de l’Arpa district of El Clot decided to adopt the name Caterina Albert, a leading figure of Catalan modernism that furthermore symbolises the recognition of gender equality.
