MURMURS X: Marc Vives, SSSSS | Activity
Marc Vives (Barcelona, 1978) is an artist, performer, educator and cultural producer. His practice moves between visual and performing arts, working with voice, body and landscape as materials capable of altering established forms of relation and perception. Through singing, swimming, listening and collective action, he develops projects in which the voice acquires a sculptural and relational dimension, infiltrating architectures, spaces and bodies.
Trained in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona and currently a PhD candidate in Humanities at the University of Castilla–La Mancha, between 2002 and 2012 he was part of the duo Bestué-Vives, whose work has been presented in institutions and collections such as MACBA, MNCARS and the Venice Biennale. Since then, he has developed a hybrid practice combining performance, pedagogy, research and cultural production. He has promoted independent projects such as YProductions, Hamaca, Por La Vena and Radiobucket, and has collaborated with institutions including Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Hangar and L’Estruch, where he directed the performance and visual arts residency program between 2014 and 2017. Since 2013 he has been co-director of GRAF.cat.
