Ariadna Guiteras (Spain) is artist in residence at Gasworks 1 April - 17 June 2019.

Ariadna Guiteras’ practice spans performance, text, drawing and installation to investigate the boundaries of both human and non-human bodies and the relationships that bring them into being. Her recent work has explored the renaissance concept of the “porous body”, a medical theory that viewed skin as a porous boundary, easily pierced and difficult to protect. Imagined in the present tense, the term is expanded in Ariadna’s work to consider bodies that are vulnerably open and always in-relation-to, be it the environment, petroleum, soil, capital flows, data, solar energy or potato starch.

Ariadna Guiteras’ residency is supported by Acción Cultural Espanola.

Gasworks’ online programme is supported by Hélène Nguyen-Ban.
