Visit Mediation conducted by Elena Blesa Cábez | Activity

The practice of mediation is slippery. Whoever you ask, they will say that it is hard to explain, to identify, but it is there. It is like background noise. It requires an effort to listen and pay attention. Given this lack of definition that seeps through the cracks of the institution, what would a museum without mediation look like? Probably nothing; perhaps it wouldn’t even exist.

Elena Blesa Cábez opens a dialogue with the artist Violeta Mayoral in order to shape her research in the rooms of the museum. This switch of positions Elena initiates with her project gives rise to a multitude of questions and movements regarding how different practices and ways of inhabiting the museum fit and relate to one another. With this in mind, the project unfolds through a sound proposal and mediation of it in the museum’s rooms, which make us become aware of attention and listening. This way, mediation reveals itself to be inextricable from dialogue and interdependence.
