Joan Vilajoana
After demonstrating his working methods during the creation of a painting, the plastic and visual artist Joan Vilajoana proposes to seek out the active body, the physical presence that creates a work of art, in both its tangible and intangible aspects. The aim is to show an entire creative process in which waiting, emptiness, doubt and encounter make up the act of creation. The tangible part of this process lies in Joan Vilajoana's execution of the creation of a painting. The intangible part, that he wants to show to us and that also forms part of the process, will be sought out and transmitted through the movement and presence of two people: an adult (Mim Juncà) and a child (Jan Ferrer), who represent respectively the rules and the element of play.
Trained as a social educator (he worked for over eight years in this sector, in different fields), Vilajoana has spent over ten years giving drama classes in various schools, such as El Galliner in Gerona. With a varied background in dance, plastic arts and performance, he is a member of the theatre-in-education collective Kilalia. He combines teaching with his work as a visual artist. He has held many exhibitions.
