The trajectory of a versatile thinker
Eulàlia Bosch, born in Barcelona in 1949, is a multifaceted figure who challenges conventional labels. His career is drawn between teaching, curatories and writing, reflecting a commitment to humanity and art that transcends traditional limitations.
Experiences that mark
In his recent work, ‘In Wonderland’ (Editorial Angle), Bosch presents a fascinating mix of personal experiences and reflections on contemporary art. The book, which does not easily fit into any genre, includes reflections on emblematic figures such as John Berger and Eugènia Balcells, as well as their own training experiences.
Remembering childhood
Bosch evokes memories of his childhood in the Eixample, where his first interaction with art was marked by Easter at the School of Monges. In a moment of childhood curiosity, he asked his mother about the fate of Jesus, an experience that he directly linked to the culture of his environment.
The Importance of the Domestic Space
Its reflection on everyday life emphasizes the importance of intimate space. Bosch argues that everyday, often underestimated, is a crucial field for the development of creativity and reflection, a feeling that he shares with his grandchildren, which value last time in the kitchen.
Art and Domestic Life
His admiration for Dutch painters like Vermeer and Rembrandt illustrates how art can capture domestic life. Bosch explains that his appreciation for these artists is based on his ability to reflect everyday life with unmatched depth.
New York: A Creation Center
New York occupies a special place in Bosch’s biography. In the 1970’s, the city became a vibrant nucleus of artistic innovation, a scenario that deeply influenced its vision on art and culture.
Findings and friendships
His encounter with Jorge Luis Borges in New York and friendship with John Berger reflect his appreciation for literature and art. Bosch considers Borges an essential poet, and recalls his ability to open new horizons of thought through his work.
Reflections on random and art
Bosch firmly believes in the power of chance. His life and artistic experiences have been shaped by fortuitous encounters that have enriched his perspective on existence and art.
The value of unanswered questions
The deep questions that arise through art are essential, even if they do not find an answer. Bosch uses his own experience as a mother to exemplify how children’s questions reflect a pure curiosity that is often lost in adulthood.
Art as an educational medium
Through his career, Bosch has defended the integration of the arts in early childhood education. He believes that the arts are essential for human development and should be part of the curriculum since the first years of life.
A future full of possibilities
His vision of the future is based on the belief that art and science must coexist and enrich each other. Bosch reminds us that curiosity and creativity are key to opening new doors in the contemporary world.
