Review: Claudia Pagès Rabal: ALJUB, Alba Folgado, NO NIIN

Alba Folgado has written about Claudia Pagès Rabal: ALJUB for No Niin. Below is an excerpt:

“ALJUB opens with references to publishing or editorial work; it can be read as a book. The longest wall at Index serves as the spine of the book, guiding the viewer through the content in almost chronological order. Part of Index’s curatorial identity is to explore editorial work as an extensive artistic practice. They have an interest in the editorial as a performative attitude, evident in their programming through the selection of topics and artists, and, in this case, the exhibition’s architecture.”

“In the context of Index, Pagès’s work appeared to me as an unlearning of history written through lies, appropriation, power, and distortion, one that defines my identity and, at the same time, feels distant.”
