LA RIBOT

Inside the collaboration Mercat de les Flors and MACBA

The Pièces distinguées are a concept developed in the early nineties by La Ribot, fragmenting her discourse on contemporary dance in a new choreographic format based on brevity and focused on the long term, since its purpose was to create a hundred such pieces throughout her life. To date she has created 53, titled, numbered and presented in five series/performances: 13 Piezas distinguidas (1993), Más Distinguidas (1997), Still Distinguished (2000), PARAdistinguidas (2011) and Another Distinguée (2016).

Pièce distinguée n°45 is the only Pièce distinguée that does not belong to a series/performance. On this occasion, it includes the participation of actor Juan Loriente, with whom La Ribot has collaborated since 1993. It is a unique action, like a death foretold where the act of loving, the death wish and the painterly gesture merge in a paradox that confronts contemplation and violence.

CONVERSATION: La Ribot, Àngels Margarit, director of the Mercat de les Flors, and Pablo Martínez, MACBA’s Head of Programmes, will reflect on the relationship that the artist establishes with society, its margins and the emblematic figures that constitute her artistic practice.
