Site-Specific Conversation x Barcelona Gallery Weekend 2023 #5

Site-Specific Conversation’s collaboration with Barcelona Gallery Weekend continues with a series of conversations that will be published weekly over the summer.

Once again, the event centres on a novel this year: Just Kids, by Patti Smith. In doing so, it highlights the process of ‘growing together’ and delves into artists’ beginnings, professionalisation, coexistence with the art market’s demands, and collaboration dynamics, among other elements.

This week, we talk to Ignasi Aballí and gallerists Pilar Carbonell and Anna Rovira, directors of Palmadotze. First in the town of Vilafranca del Penedés and now in a rural setting, the gallery has made a name for itself in the Spanish gallery sector by highlighting the importance of taking art beyond the main urban centres, like Barcelona. Throughout their careers, Carbonell and Rovira have received support from artists thanks to the care and closeness they show. Now, with Aballí’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, both gallerists and artist express their excitement at their wish to work together again finally being fulfilled.
