Avoided
OCT. 4, 2025
On October 4, 2025, Josep Piñol formalized the avoidance of his monumental work by signing a certificate acquired by a private collector. The cancellation, carried out at the Museu Tàpies in Barcelona, gave rise to a piece that culminates in its own avoidance. During the performative action, Piñol signed before a notary his definitive renunciation of materializing the work, which had been planned for Belém (Brazil), site of the upcoming COP30 and a focal point of the climate debate. In doing so, the cancellation was sealed. By halting the project planned for the Amazon, he avoided the emission of 57,765 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e), registered as certified carbon credits with an estimated value of 1.6 million euros...

Confraternity of Our Lady Santa Baldana
DEC. 2024
Drawing from the work Santa Baldana, the Confraternity of Our Lady Saint Baldana (CSSB) emerges as a collective structure that expands and transforms the symbolic universe initiated by The Procession of Santa Baldana. More than a theatrical replica, the confraternity proposes a symbolic space where the devotional, the performative, and the communal intersect—giving rise to new forms of ...

Execution of October 12
OCT. 2024
In the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees, in the Farrera valley, Execution of October 12th unfolds a scene loaded with symbolism, violence, and formal irony, juxtaposing a playful mechanism with a representation of extermination. Beneath the harmless appearance of a fairground stall, the work proposes a participatory experience that directly questions the colonial, extractivist, and anthropocentric logics that have historically shaped the relationship between civilization and nature...

Santa Baldana
JUN. 2024
Santa Baldana, a performance presented by Josep Piñol during the VII Forum on Culture and Ruralities (Tortosa, 2024) and curated by Konvent collective, emerges as a speculative liturgy that subverts traditional structures of the sacred. Based on a typical sausage from the Terres de l’Ebre region —the baldana—, the piece proposes a symbolic intervention that reconfigures religious imagery from a situated, rural, and bodily sensitivity...

DOLOR (A.D MCMXCIV)
2023 - 2026
A circular arena becomes the private ring of a boy who has not known how to grow up. The many faces of suffering are personified in an audiovisual journey that embodies the unbearable pain of being oneself. With a three-act structure, we witness the successive appearance of allegorical characters who peel away from an audience that hides its hunger for misery behind the stands. One by one, they stage their own struggle against the ballast that keeps them from moving forward: the inheritance of family trauma, the need to capture others’ attention, the inability to accept the responsibilities of adult life.

The Moult
FEB. 2021
Presented in 2021 at Centre d’Art Lo Pati in Amposta, La Muda is the result of a creative process lasting over a year and a half, developed by artists Josep Piñol and Greta Díaz. The project took shape in an old agricultural warehouse on the outskirts of Tivenys, transformed into a studio, where both constructed an introspective visual universe, traversed by tensions between confinement and desire, transformation and resistance...

Senegal S-12
MAR. 2015
Exhibition of 35 large-format photographs, presented in the Tinglado 1 hall at the Moll de Costa in Tarragona, with texts by Oriol Gracià. A research project in Senegal that adopts a documentary language to turn photographic practice into an ecology of gestures. Like an exploration, or a simulacrum, the texture of the country’s reality is interrogated by the camera and presented in the exhibition space. The traveling show was presented at the Sala Antoni Garcia of the Museu de Tortosa and the brewhouse of Barcelona’s Old Damm Factory.
