Artist and cultural manager. Founder and director of La Juan Gallery, the first gallery in Spain dedicated to the living arts. Its practice centres around overhauling the clichés associated with performance art and creating networks between artists and the public out of its contents. He has collaborated with institutions such as the Instituto Cervantes, Central Saint Martins (London), Teatros del Canal (Madrid), Cidade da Cultura (Santiago de Compostela) and Matadero (Madrid), among others.

Oral Tradition. Performance made the day of the preview of this exhibition. Audio documenting said action. 2022.

Oral tradition transmits knowledge and experiences to those who listen to it. When Juan Gómez Alemán arrived at the Ses12naus residence in 2016, he interviewed some men and women from Ibiza for his project, asking them about the origin of the island and what events had made it what it is now. Six years after that experience, it is Gómez Alemán himself who tries to orally transmit what that coexistence was like, an important event in the artist’s creative path that he now wants to share with us through this performance.
