Dilalica
Dilalica (Barcelona)
Dilálica is a curatorial practice that operates across physical spaces, books, and the web. The practice manages its own gallery in Barcelona while also developing exhibitions for other institutions. Although its research is open to expansion in any direction, Dilálica maintains a particular affinity for computation, photographic imagery, and critiques of individual authorship.
Julio Linares (Toledo, 1985) holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and a Master 1 in Visual Arts from Université Paris 8 Vincennes–Saint-Denis.

Linares has also collaborated on a range of performance and stage-based works as a scenographer and art director, as well as a performer and dancer, working with artists including JOVENDELAPERLA and SUGA. He has also developed his own installations, including Montaña, presented at the Salón Rico in Toledo in 2025.
Ariadna Guiteras’s practice explores bodies and the relationships that shape them. Her work is grounded in performativity; in her most recent pieces, she employs slow temporalities and collaborative processes to delve into questions such as the dissolution of the child–adult binary and the medieval theory of the “porous body.” This exploration has taken the form of exuding vases (This Whole Tragedy of Ideology and Love, MACBA Collection, 2019), large modular structures collectively built with school groups (Dues urpes que fan un ou, Dilalica, 2022; CAC Brétigny, 2025), soft objects that accumulate the material memory of Vila Joana (in collaboration with Diversorium, Manifesta 15 Barcelona Metropolitana, 2024), and a weaving together of her practice with that of artist Lauren Gault (Dilalica, BGW, 2025).
She has been an artist in residence at Gasworks (London) and Hangar (Barcelona). Her work has been exhibited, among other venues, at Fundació Miró (Barcelona), Arts Santa Mònica (Barcelona), The Bower (London), CentroCentro (Madrid), SACO (Tenerife), La Capella (Barcelona), APA (Brussels), H.AAC (Vic), and CA2M (Madrid).
