Latitudes is thrilled to announce the opening of “HELLO EVERYONE”, the first museum survey dedicated to Catalan artist Laia Estruch (Barcelona, 1981) at the Museo Reina Sofía.
This ambitious exhibition has been conceived as a living-and-breathing storage that reconfigures Estruch’s body of work, as well as works-as-bodies, and spans the breadth of her artistic research to date while engaging with her history as a performer. “HELLO EVERYONE” takes the form of a fragmentary and vociferous archive spanning live events, sculpture, audio installation, moving image, graphic works and visual scores.
A publication accompanying the exhibition will comprise the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the artist’s work. Designed by her longtime collaborator Ariadna Serrahima (Oficina del Disseny) and published by the Museo Reina Sofía, it will include a new text by artist Sharon Hayes (Estruch’s former professor at The Cooper Union), reflecting on performance pedagogy; the essay “Voice-Body-Sculpture” by Latitudes, the exhibition curators, which offers the first in-depth overview of Estruch’s practice; and a conversation between the artist and Marc Navarro, curator of Estruch’s 2019 exhibition at Espai 13, Fundació Miró. The book will be available in Spring 2025 in Spanish and English editions.
“HELLO EVERYONE” will be presented on the fourth floor of the museum’s Sabatini building and coincide with the 44th edition of ARCOmadrid art fair (5–9 March 2025).
