Join us at the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum on Wedneday, October 25, 2023 from 6:00pm-7:00pm for Artist Talk. Barcelona-based artist Laia Estruch will give an artist talk … free and open to the public.
In partnership with the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in the U.S., Flagler College and the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum welcome her as the Artist-in-Residence from October 16 through November 4, 2023.
Estruch’s artistic practice centers the voice and the body through spoken word, song, sculpture, and publications. She explores the emotive qualities of the acapella voice. That allows for reflection on the performative character of language, sound recording, and the oral archive. In recent larger scale sculptural projects that function as stand-alone objects and vehicles for performance, Estruch investigates how urban spaces and physical environments play a role in our everyday lives.
Laia Estruch received a Fine Arts degree from the University of Barcelona and studied at The Cooper Union, NYC. She has presented her work throughout Europe and Worldwide. That includes XXIII Bienal Arte Paiz Guatemala (2023), Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya MNAC (2023), Hauser & Wirth Menorca (2023), and Museo Picasso, Barcelona (2018), among others. Since 2016, Estruch has led workshops for the educational department of MACBA, Barcelona. She is currently working on a programme there with children with autism and their families.
