In April 2024, Latitudes was commissioned to write a short text about Joan Morey’s film “SOCIAL BODY. Anatomy Lesson” for a forthcoming publication celebrating the 10th edition of the Video Creation Award co-production project. This Award results from the ongoing collaboration between the Territorial Centers of the Public System of Visual Arts Equipment in Catalonia, the Santa Mònica Arts Center, the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and Loop Barcelona.

In 2018, Latitudes curated Joan Morey’s multi-chapter solo exhibition “COLLAPSE,” which was held across three venues in Barcelona and L’Hospitalet, and a year later, in Palma (Mallorca). 

“COS SOCIAL. Lliçó d’anatomia” [SOCIAL BODY. Anatomy Lesson] was awarded the 2017 Premi de Videocreació of the Xarxa de Centres d’Arts Visuals de Catalunya, Arts Santa Mònica – Departament de Cultura de la Generalitat de Catalunya, and LOOP Barcelona.

In 2018, the Government of Catalunya acquired the work for its National Collection and deposited it in the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, where it was recently presented as part of their collection display titled “MACBA Collection. Prelude. Poetic Prelude”.

Morey recently presented “VOT DE TENEBRES”, subtitled “Formation of the Canon, Erotic Concepts; The visceral and its (de)content; Haptic awakenings, stimulating the senses” at the Fundació Joan Brossa, and in 2025 will be in residence at the Restoration/Conservation department of the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC) as part of their Projecte Empelt programme.
