Insect-shaped pins made with electrical resistors and fuses. With this discreet jewel by Christian Konn began, one could say, the adventure of Drap-Art. Critic Rosa Pera saw them and invited him, along with other Barcelona artists, to participate in a recycled art festival held in the north of France, La Braderie de l'Art de Roubaix, and a whole expedition of friends went there who, upon returning, decided to organize their own festival in Barcelona. This is explained, in a documented and enlightening article, by Xavier Theros in the book Drap-Aires. Stories of the Drap-Art Festival, which gathers the thirty years of the festival with a whole selection of photographs by Consuelo Bautista. If Theros is the chronicler of the Barcelona art scene of the nineties, there is no doubt that Bautista is the one who has best known how to portray it. There is also, of course, a text by Tanja Grass, Christian's partner and, from the beginning, the soul and driving force of this festival that began in 1996 and has had continuity in different formats throughout the years. Until today. The next one will be from November 17th to December 21st in various spaces in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and before, in October, there will be parallel festivals in Formentera and the Ebro Delta.
