Return "La Pell dels Murs" - World Class Muralism Documented in a Brand New SeriesAryz, Marina Capdevila and Jorge Rodriguez Gerada are just some of the stars who appear in La Pell dels Murs: a new series on the Catalan public TV channel Canal33, demonstrating its commitment to urban art throughout the region in Europe.
La Pell dels Murs started airing on February 8, with new episodes showing each week. They aim to capture the process of creating great murals by various artists in different parts of the territory. Each of the 10 episodes brings together a celebrated muralist with an emerging director, and the resulting documentaries are as varied as the large-format paintings produced by the artists.
The artists were selected based on their style output and the content of their work, aiming to represent the diversity of people and approaches currents that exist in the contemporary mural scene in Catalunya. The full list of artists who feature are Aryz, Lily Brick, Anna Taratiel, Jorge Rodriguez Gerada, Zosen & Mina Hamada, Marina Capdevila, Juanjo Surace, Albert Álvarez, NúriaToll and Roc Blackblock.
The directors responsible the 10 episodes of the series are Laura Álvarez ("City for sale"), Ariadna Relea Ventura ("Singled [Out]"), Manel Serrat ("Negre de Merda"), Laura Herrero ("La Mami"), Mariona Guiu Pont ("Distancias"), Aurora Sulli ("Jaume Plensa, ¿puedes oírme?"), Xavier Artigas ("Ciutat Morta"), Patricia Sánchez ("Mot de passe: Fajara"), Santi Suárez ("És a l’aire") and Sophie Köhler ("Cartas a Maria").
Each episode captures the process of producing a mural, from conceptualization to the final presentation, through a set of reflections on the work of art in a public space and its value. Recurring themes include the accessibility of the work to a wide range of publics, the ephemeral nature of work destined to disappear and transgressive work that stimulates social debate.
The creative freedom in La Pell dels Murs makes each 25 minute episode completely original and thanks to the personal vision of each filmmaker, who was free to contribute their unique and different point of view on the creative process.
The series is also available on TV3's YouTube channel with English subtitles.
The protagonists of the show also feature in a series of podcasts presented by Montana Colors social media editor Mark Dix.
La Pell dels Murs is a collaboration between TV3 and Un Capricho de Producciones with the support of Montana Colors’ Culture Department.
