Lives in Bisbal, Girona (Spain), born in Bisbal, Girona (Spain).
Pere Noguera (1941, Spain, lives in La Bisbal d’Empordà) has worked with sculpture, installation and performance since the 1970s, often incorporating the material that defines his hometown. Raw or fired, clay becomes a ‘universal’ symbol of the earth. Noguera, whose work has often been associated with arte povera, uses it in combination with other materials, everyday objects and geographical representations. Mapa d’Espanya (‘Map of Spain’, 1979) and Mapa d’Europa (‘Map of Europe’, 1979) inverse our understanding of the soil as something that lies under political boundaries and divisions. The drying dirt is crackling, indicating as yet unexplained rifts between regions.
