exhibition · 2026-06-29

Artist Noela Covelo Velasco is unveiling her latest exhibition at the Centre de Lectura in Reus, examining the dynamics of conversation. Her innovative presentation incorporates an eclectic mix of items, such as doormats and fashion pieces, alongside immersive sound installations that transform the atmosphere. This method diminishes the traditional authority of speakers and emphasizes the essence of language. The exhibit is part of her extensive research into songwriting and the concept of floor works as complex elements within a space. Collaborating artists include Jordi Vernis, Ana Martínez Fernández, and several others contributing to this unique artistic exploration.
