José Zabala and Anne Hinz (ADDENDA ARCHITECTS) Loose Things.

Addenda Architects is a young collaborative architecture studio based in Barcelona formed by Roberto González, Anne Hinz, Cecilia Rodríguez, Arnau Sastre and José Zabala.

The studio was founded in 2015 and since then has collaborated with renowned cultural institutions such as KULeuven Ghent, Historisches Museum Frankfurt and the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The architects at Addenda have been awarded in national and international public competitions and recognized in various professional and cultural disciplines.

The studio also publishes its own architecture. It is currently carrying out an editorial project initiated by editor and independent art and architecture curator Moritz Küng and German photographers Joachim Brohm and Valentina Seidel. This periodic publication, called Bauhaus Dessau Museum Cahier, aims to document the construction process of the Museum until its opening in September 2019.

We inaugurate the exhibition Text [No Text]. Artist Books and Publications. Collection Universitat Politècnica de València and we do so with a lecture by the exhibition curator Antonio Alcaraz.

In 2020, the MACA brought together in this first cycle of meetings called New Narratives, artists whose work is represented in the museum's collections.

Together with critics, curators and experts in visual arts, the artists analyzed, in a conversation format, their creative trajectory. Different professionals participated in sessions of analysis and reflection, always starting from different works in the museum's collections, which also served for the citizens of Alicante to learn firsthand about the MACA's heritage.

«Shared Spaces». Javier Terrados. Thursday, January 29 at 7 p.m. Free admission.

The children who play in the corridors of the residential building, now streets of their imagination and their domain, the elderly who converse in the waiting areas of the health center, in the anterooms that seem like plazas of a village lost in time, the high school students who improvise an event in the atrium of the institute, now their comedy yard, the neighbors who make the vestibule of the municipal theater their second temple, the businessmen who in the exhibition center update the timeless rituals of commerce and cultural mestizaje.

Scenes of shared spaces. Architectures in the diffuse margins between the public and the private. New sanctuaries, places where encounter and personal interaction are gifted.

In this dissertation, a tour is proposed through a set of architectural works that propose a commitment to the viability of these places, broadening the usual limits of rules, conventions, regulations and scarcities, and generating other possible scenarios of community encounter. Collective dwellings, health centers, theaters, exhibition centers, schools and institutes, treated as supports for unusual experiences of coexistence.

A lecture by Mª Jesús Folch in which we propose an analysis of the conceptual foundation and creative process that flows from the works and artistic trajectory of Juana Francés, articulating the discourse through transitions, rather than through closed stages, in constant dialogue with her historical and cultural context and, especially, with her network of influences and relationship with the thinking of figures such as Ortega y Gasset, Machado, Magritte and Ionesco.
