Every opening is carried further by those who answer the exhibition in their own language: performance, sound, voice, movement.
The line-up keeps growing: each guest is announced before their opening.

30 Attempts to Hold a Form
I take a single piece of raw clay and every minute I make a new form from it, then destroy it and begin again. With each repetition the material keeps traces of its previous state — touches, deformations, cracks. The thirtieth form is the one I leave. I work to a steady sound signal. What interests me is not the restoration of a lost wholeness — it is the idea of wholeness as a temporary state. There is no final form at all: only an endless sequence of changes.

Seven Elements
Two or three piano sets of twenty to thirty minutes across the evening.
Eva Toya is a DJ, producer, vocalist and performer from Russia, now based in Spain.

A softer set
Eva usually plays much harder. For NANIZANO she prepares a softer, more introspective set.
Joanna d'Arc is a cellist, singer, composer and producer. Born in Poland, she has lived in Barcelona for over ten years. Her voice meets the cello in an intimate dialogue: cinematic scale, folk roots, neoclassical elements.

Electronics, drums and laser harp
Electronics, drums and a laser harp in a darkened room. Neither performer knows in advance what will come out of it — that is the point.
