THE TRANSFORMATIVE SOUND ACCORDING TO BENGOLEA AT C3A

Argentine artist Cecilia Bengolea has unveiled her latest project, "El Ruido que Habita" (The Noise That Dwells), at the Centro de Creación Contemporánea de Andalucía (C3A) in Córdoba. Developed during a residency in early 2025, the exhibition features site-specific drawings and ceramic works created in collaboration with the Dionisio Ortiz School of Art. The installation integrates visual art, technology, and performance, inviting visitors to engage with sound as a transformative language that bridges cultural and material divides.

This exhibition highlights the growing trend of institutional residencies that foster deep engagement with local craft traditions and regional heritage. By reinterpreting Córdoba’s artisanal history through a multidisciplinary lens, Bengolea demonstrates how contemporary art can revitalize traditional techniques while exploring sound as a vital tool for environmental and social connection. The project underscores C3A's role as a hub for experimental production and cross-disciplinary collaboration in the Spanish art scene.
