Two Wonderful Catalogues

I continue to translate for several museums and art centers regularly, and recently two catalogues on which I have worked have been published. The first is Dadá ruso. 1914-1924, from the exhibition that can be visited at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS) until the 22nd of October.

This exhibition explores Russian avant-garde art through the perspective of the Anti-art canons associated with the international Dada movement. The catalogue, edited by Margarita Tupitsyn and the Department of Publishing Activities at MNCARS, has been designed by Tipos Móviles. The texts, both new and old, are very complex and have required thorough research. Luckily, for this translation into Spanish there was a flank well covered: for the transliterations I received help from Marta Sánchez-Nieves, award-winning translator of Russian literature.

The other catalogue is for the Brassaï exhibition put together by Fundación Mapfre earlier this year. The show already opened at Casa Garriga Nogués in Barcelona back in February and then it moved to Sala Recoletos in Madrid. On the 17th of November, it will open at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), where it will remain until the 17th of February.

At Barcelona Kontext, Mercè Bolló and I were in charge of the Catalan translation. The curator and editorial director was Peter Galassi, while Lacasta Design took care of the graphic design.
