Orbital Diálogos

Artist talk by Bárbara Palomino-Ruiz
Centro Cultural Doctor Madrazo, Santander, Spain
16 March 2018
19.30h

Presented as part of the February–March 2018 Orbital Residency programme, this public conversation introduced Bárbara Palomino-Ruiz’s artistic practice and the research she was developing during her residency in Cantabria.

The talk traced connections between textile processes, audiovisual media, and analogue and digital technologies across her work. It addressed her interest in technological heritage, textile and digital narratives, the social production of memory, affective cartographies, and the fictional dimensions involved in documenting reality and constructing ethnographic narratives.

Palomino-Ruiz also presented the initial research for What Lies by the Shore, a project developed through her encounters with the landscape surrounding Barcenilla de Piélagos, the Pas River, and the prehistoric and archaeological sites of Cantabria. Walking, measuring, collecting, drawing, and observing became ways of approaching the landscape as a material and temporal record.

Bárbara Palomino-Ruiz’s participation in Orbital Residency was organised in collaboration with studio das weisse haus, Vienna.
