Inhaltsangabe:
- Over the past fifteen years, Catalan artist Laia Estruch (b. 1981, Barcelona) has developed a practice in which the human voice becomes an artistic material that explores its own expressive potential. This vocal work has evolved alongside the creation of sculptural environments, often monumental in scale, conceived for each of her projects. The present catalogue accompanies the eponymous exhibition "Laia Estruch: Hello Everyone" held at the Museo Reina Sofía in 2025. Conceived as a navigable warehouse, the show is put forward as a repository imbued with life and breath, in which the sculptural resources and vocal expressions that have shaped the artist's research from 2011 to 2025 are reactivated. This is the first monograph to offer a detailed inventory of Estruch's oeuvre: a chronological account of her woks accompanied by descriptions, photographs, and textual scores. The volume is introduced by Manuel Segade, the director of the Museo Reina Sofía, and features an essay by Latitudes, the exhibition curators, who analyze her trajectory through its vocal, bodily, and sculptural dimensions; a text by artist Sharon Hayes on pedagogy in performance; and a conversation between the artist and curator Marc Navarro, offering insight into the evolution of her creative process
