David Armengol & Martí Manen

David Armgengol and Martí Manen have been working as a curatorial team and also individually.

They started working together with Cartografies (radio program on contemporary art, Radio Gràcia, Barcelona, 2000) acting as directors and using a format between the experimental and the informative one. Some exhibitions about the role of sound within visual arts followed the same investigation: Secondary Sounds (Galería T4, Barcelona, 2002), Radiophonies (Radio El Prat, El Prat del Llobregat, 2002), Sound and Me (CASM and Transmediale, 2004) and Casino Lights (Sala Rekalde, Bilbao)

Armengol and Manen have been experimenting on institutional processes for the artistic production. In 2004 they curated the project P_O4: Office (Terrassa), occupying an industrial building that became a series of conceptual offices directed by artists.

Together they were directing the program The Text: First Notions and Findings at Fabra I Coats contemporary art centre in Barcelona (2013-2014) that ends with the publication of the book, published by consonni, An Art Centre.

They have been working individually about the narrative in art, emotional possibilities within artistic production and the idea of the exhibition itself. Both have been working for educational structures and have been curating exhibitions in several countries, independently and for institutions.
