Hello everyone is configured as a large-scale installation which gathers the works made by Laia Estruch (Barcelona, 1981) from 2011 to the present. These works incorporate formal variations and make up a type of fragmentary and reverberating archive which includes sculptures, sounds, moving images, graphic work and visual scores. As a whole, it can be considered at once a retrospective exhibition and a navigable warehouse.

Laia Estruch employs the human voice as a core material in her practice, using the vocal cords as tools to project a sonority that extends beyond mere interpretation. The spoken and sung words from each vocal project are a response to the sculptural framework the artist makes specifically for them.

One of the challenges set forth by the show is the embodiment and performativity of the works in the absence of the artist, given that she will only activate the pieces on a handful of occasions. Although the experience of Estruch’s work cannot be decoupled from the physical corporality of her own body, the body of her collaborators and the bodies of the viewers who actively participate in a process of constant exploration and discovery, the modality of the exhibition is the storage-archive of all the rehearsals and activations carried out across her career.

Laia Estruch holds a degree in Fine Art from the University of Barcelona (2010) and has studied at The Cooper Union in New York (2010). She has held solo shows at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, MNAC (2023), the Fundació Joan Brossa (Barcelona, 2020–2021), La Capella de Sant Roc (Valls, 2019) and the Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona, 2019).
