This season, recorded live at Madrid’s ARCO contemporary art fair in March 2024, offers insightful conversations with the creative minds shaping today’s art world.

In this episode, host Daniela Galan speaks with London-based Argentinian artist Amalia Pica, known for her multidisciplinary practice spanning sculpture, performance, installation, video, and drawing. While Pica often explores themes of communication and human connection, her work at ARCO takes a humorous and thoughtful look at bureaucracy and migration systems, uncovering the unexpected pleasures found in paperwork and administrative processes.

With her characteristic wit, Pica reimagines our relationship with everyday objects—from household items to official documents—challenging us to see the familiar in new and thought-provoking ways. She also draws from her experiences as a mother, reflecting on how children view and engage with art, and how this fresh perspective can reshape our understanding of work and daily life.

Pica’s work has been exhibited globally, with pieces in prestigious collections such as Tate (London), MoMA (New York), and the Guggenheim (New York). You may also recognise her public sculptures in London, Amsterdam, and Chapel Hill.

Join us for a captivating conversation that invites you to explore the wit, beauty, and deeper meaning hidden in the everyday.
