Know was commissioned by the curator of the Espace Cultural Ample for the “Vanity” group exhibition, in which the participating artists had to work on the concept of vanity.
Recalling a dream from my childhood, I asked Gerard Quintana, the former lyric writer and singer with the group Sopa de Cabra, a referent from the collective imaginary of contemporary catalan popular music, to sing a song to me. I tracked him down, arranged to meet him to explain my proposal to him and he agreed. The result of the action is a document on video of Gerard Quintana singing a version of Nick Drake’s song “Know” to me, accompanied by the guitarist Francesc Bertran, in the Galery Espace Cultural Ample in Barcelona, where the action was recorded behind closed doors.
