On November 12th at 6:30 PM, renowned artist Quayola will be the first guest of the second season of IED MUSES Talks: Decoding Inspirational Minds.

He will share his career and creative process with the IED Barcelona audience (c/ Biada 11) in a one-on-one talk where he will address the use of technology in relation to design, the composition of robotic sculptures, new landscapes, form and sound, and immersive installations.

Book your spot here.

Quayola has participated in and exhibited at leading cultural heritage sites and world-renowned institutions such as: the V&A Museum in London; the Park Avenue Armory in New York; the National Art Center in Tokyo; UCCA in Beijing; HOW Art Museum in Shanghai; SeMA in Seoul; Palais de Tokyo in Paris; Ars Electronica in Linz; and Casa Batlló in Barcelona and the Sundance Film Festival. He uses technology as a lens to explore the tensions and balances between seemingly opposing forces: the real and the artificial, the figurative and the abstract, the old and the new. Landscape painting, classical sculpture, and iconography are some of the historical aesthetics that serve as a starting point for his hybrid compositions. 2013 winner of the Golden Nica at Ars Electronica.
