Jordi Colomer

Jordi Colomer's (*Barcelona 1962) practice spans film, photography, sculpture and installation, often involving collective participation. All his activity is tinged with a marked performative sense, testing through actions the habitual uses of architecture and urban space. Colomer is interested in the system of representations of the city and our ability to subvert them. From that investigation, underlying themes such as nomadism, the popular imagination, humor, community, suburbia, traditions, fiction and utopia emerge. In 2008, the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris dedicated a major retrospective to him. Colomer has participated in two editions of Manifesta, in  St. Petersburg  (2014) und Palermo (2018). In 2017, he was chosen to represent the Spanish pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale. In 2024, he presented the exhibition “Façana Foto Festa Futur Fideus” at MACBA in Barcelona, his most ambitious solo shw to date. The exhibition brought together around fifty works dating from the late 1980s, in various formats including sculpture, collages, photography, video, installations, and live actions. For this exhibition, he received the 2024 City of Barcelona Award for Visual Arts.

Dorsten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour. Chroncler in Dorsten is Anna Haifisch.

„Vorbei am Baumarkt und dem geschlossenen Wettbüro, nach zwei schaurigen Eisenbahnbrücken, stand da plötzlich dieser kleine Kohlenwagen mit dem Namen des Angelsportvereins als liebevolle Erinnerung an alte Zeiten. Statt Erz und Kohle lugten ein paar erfrorene Blümchen hervor. Mit dem kleinen Wägelchen wäre ich gern durch Dorsten gerollt, musste aber leider meine kalten Füße benutzen.“ - Anna Haifisch
