Laura Llaneli Spain, b. 1986

Laura Llaneli lives and works in Barcelona. She studied music and earned a diploma in graphic design. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Barcelona, where she also completed a master’s degree in Sound Art and another in Teacher Education.

Laura Llaneli’s work explores the relationship between sound production and the experience, language, and practices of contemporary visual arts. She highlights the impact of variations on the stable patterns and structures of certain cultural products, testing the resilience of language as a code and of sound as a social icon. In her most recent work, she investigates forms of sound that operate from absence or latency, such as sound without sound or the sound of memory through language, as well as notions of the infra-ordinary, the subtle, or the nearly imperceptible.

Her awards include the 2018 Miquel Casablancas Prize and the 2017 Embarrat Prize. He has held solo exhibitions at venues in Spain and abroad, including the Centre d'Art La Panera (Lleida), the Joan Brossa Foundation (Barcelona), Casal Solleric (Palma de Mallorca), ADN Galeria (Barcelona), the Joan Miró Foundation (Barcelona), Casaplan (Valparaíso, Chile), Swinton&Grant (Madrid), and Art3 (Valence, France).

She has also participated in group exhibitions at Lo Pati (Amposta), The Clemente’s (New York), the Palacio de los Condes de Gabia (Granada), the Centro Rafael Botí (Córdoba), Tecla Sala (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat), and the Casa de Velázquez (Madrid), among others.
