Nuria Güell is enjoying a nearly one-year-long residency at MIMA with the support of AC/E, taking art outside the gallery to bring it to audience segments that are difficult to reach and helping regenerate Middlesbrough’s economy. The artist’s work deals with questions of legality, power, ethics and morals; it takes as a starting point the inequalities caused by state regulation and capitalism, laws and control, and uses tactics associated with activism. The artist collaborates with local refugees by designing a number of activities including meetings and workshops to explore the relationship between identity, ethnicity and otherness.
