Based in Valencia, Carles Àngel Saurí’s curatorial work focuses on methodologies of accompaniment, localisation, and empathy in relation to artistic production and socio-cultural contexts. From 2022 to 2024, he directed the Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló (EACC), Castellón, where he developed a deep interest in the encryption of languages and their translation into gestures of representation linked to contemporary socio-political issues.
He has researched the tension between representation and abstraction, as well as the heteronomous condition of artistic practice, both at EACC and as part of the curatorial team of Pols, Valencia, and the mediation team at Bombas Gens Centre d’Art, Valencia. His work proposes an active critique of the thesis of art’s autonomy and argues for understanding it as a space of symbolic resistance and critical reflection.
