about



> Within this mountain, another mother. Within this mother, another mouth.

> On your return you offered me a hand full of voices.

> There are still flowers that will endlessly grow.

I do have the intention, of this, to be an act of love.

> Maybe, Valencia.

> the Sun, the Sun, click, click, these are my high-heels.





> Field work.

    Anto López Espinosa (1993, Madrid) graduated in 2018 in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University of London, and obtained in 2020 a Masters diploma on The Commoners’ Society from Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, city where they currently live.

Their practice unfolds through oral performative works. Using lip-syncing as a medium that incorporates sound, poetry, text and music, they explore queer vocal traditions as forms of embodied and archival performance. Their work critically engages with the gaze — both challenging and inviting it— using contemporary storytelling to unravel the poetics of queerness and to foster a collective search for love, and belonging.



Recent presentations of their work include Frans Hals Museum, Centro Cultural Conde Duque, Museum Arnhem, Down The Rabbit Hole, Van Gogh Museum, Het HEM, La Casa Encendida, Goethe Instituut, Toneelschuur and Melkweg amongst others.

In 2024 they recieved the Artist Start Grant by Mondriaan Fonds.
