José Manuel Berenguer
Installation
In Southeast Asia and other places on the earth, there are communities of fireflies that emit pulsar light in unison. Small but great flashes of synchronised light.
It was discovered, upon observation, that these tiny, insignificant insects, were able to use the emission and uptake of infrareds to synchronise their rhythms in order to emit together and thus cooperate in attracting females from further afield.
Hence, Luci, a small sculpture or little “machine”, made from five light and sound emitters with a mechanism fitted to simulate the behaviour of a colony of fireflies. Designed in 1994, it prompted José Manuel Berenguer to create the current installation “Sin nombre y sin memoria” (No name, no memory).

Turpentine. A metaphor for the painting of Joan Descarga and Àlex Nogué, led by Mireia Saladrigues “Dibagatges”.
Turpentine is a product derived from the distillation of resin from the red pine. It is commonly used both in oil painting and in many medicinal essences and ointments. This common use invites a metaphorical exploration that prompts a reflective discourse on the “trementinaires”, or the “women who wander the world” as they were known, whose ingenuity and traditional knowledge of the therapeutic properties of plants enabled them to overcome penury by travelling throughout Catalonia to sell the medicines they had made from woodland products.

Sergi Aguilar’s exhibition at Nau Côclea has been devised especially for this occasion. It is the summary of a series of research projects that the artist has performed in recent years. Aguilar reflects on the idea of landscape and on the distances between real and representational territory.

Johannes Zacherl is well-known for large-format figurative, gestural painting that features an expressionist presentation (from a formal perspective) of animals, people and things. He interprets the world through figures that are swept towards abstract and often tragic expression: dynamic bodies in virtually constant movement, dynamic painting that also seems to move for representational ends, and emotion that reveals the romantic, German, dark yet illuminating, ingenious and almost perverse personality that lies behind the work.

Ester Baulida expone por segunda vez en la Nau Côclea de Camallera. “L’Últim Portal” era el título de su primera exposicion en la Nau, en 1999. Como ahora, se trataba de un proyecto en el que la fotografía jugaba un papel importante.

The PA CK project is one of the research and creation activities run by the “La Sospechosa” Cultural Association. It was backed by the Government of Catalonia’s autonomous government body for the dissemination of culture (ICAC) in 2005, and by Nau Coclea in Camallera from December 2005 to February 2006.
We invite you to take a look at the work that arose from this collaboration and to play with the PA CK area, which comprises small technological, audio-visual games.
