Spanish to English: About Barbara Noculak General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - Spanish A lo largo de toda su carrera artística, Noculak se ha cuestionado la influencia del pasado en el presente, en cómo lo más cotidiano e inocente contiene la historia pasada, un sustrato que permanece y que de alguna forma, reaparece. Son constantes las alusiones al significado pasado que nutre casi inconsciente a los objetos y la cotidianeidad. Escribe en uno de sus poemas “Y en las cabezas/ está el espíritu de los antepasados,/durante generaciones aparece/ siempre de nuevo las mismas costras/ como un espectro/ ¿Cómo puedo liberarme?”
Translation - English Throughout her artistic career, Noculak has questioned the influence of past over present, how the simplest and most innocent thing contains history, a substrate that remains and somehow reappears. There are many references to former meanings that nourish almost unconsciously objects and daily routine. She writes in one of her poems: “And in the heads/ the spirit of the ancestors remains/ for generations it appears/ always the same scabs/ as a ghost/ How can I free myself?”

Source text - Spanish JCF: Así es. Pinto a mis exparejas cuando ya no estoy con ellas como un acto que dota a la obra de un especial contenido. En este último caso concreto de la exposición en Nueva York, hay una serie de obras que transcienden el realismo de la imagen, se descomponen como los propios recuerdos, a pesar de ser también dibujos miméticos de auténticos glitchs realizados exprofeso a partir de fotografías. En realidad, toda la muestra «(HE)ARTBROKEN» viene a ser un colofón hedonista a la terribilità del recorrido vital que realmente todos realizamos a través de nuestra vida y nuestros amantes, del dolor y la rotura, y de la belleza de esos momentos, todo contado a través de las mujeres que han formado parte de mi vida y de esos recuerdos; un recorrido casi proustiano de un pasado sentimental en el que mezclo imágenes recientes con otras pasadas, a veces más nítidas y a veces casi difusas, un ejercicio similar al de cuando, en realidad, las recordamos.
Translation - English JFC: Indeed. I paint my ex's when I'm not longer with them in an act that provides special content to the work. In New York's exhibition, there is a series of works that transcends image realism, they discompose as memories themselves, despite being mimetic drawings of true glitches specifically made from photographs. In reality, «(HE)ARTBROKEN» is a kind of hedonist culmination of the terribilità of a life journey that in fact we all make through our lives and lovers, pain and breaks, and the beauty of those moments, all of that told by the women that shared my life and those feelings; an almost proustish tour through a sentimental past where I mix recent and old images, sometimes vivid and other times diffuse, same as when we recall them.

Source text - Spanish Los miembros del jurado valoran el concepto de propuesta modular, se construyen unidades como verdaderas rocas habitables, las que se diseminan en el terreno como "carpas tectónicas". Su propia morfología y materialidad hacen que sólo puedan ubicarse en el plano, donde el habitar es en un pozo/cueva sin mayor compromiso con el paisaje y su vivencia.
Propuesta de estancia de interés formal que recuerda la interacción sujeto-objeto de Verner Panton.
Habitar la roca. Habitar la grieta. Habitar la pared. La reflexión entre la exploración de las formas de habitar un espacio natural y la escala del lugar dan lugar a una intervención meteorizada que recuerda a las cavernas del pasado.
Translation - English The Jury members value the concept of a modular proposal where all units are built as real habitable rocks disseminated all over the place as if they were tectonic tents. Their own morphology and nature make them only placeable on flat ground, the space is just a well or cave not committed to the landscape and its experience.
This formal interest accommodation proposal is reminiscent of Verner Panton’s subject-object interaction.
To inhabit the stone. To inhabit the crack. To inhabit the wall. The reflection on the exploration of ways to inhabit a natural space in comparison with the scale of the place results in a weathered intervention which reminds one of ancient caverns.

My first approach to translation was during high school, we used to translate from Latin and ancient Greek all those texts that talked about Julius Caesar's wars or some ancient greek hero's adventures. I have always had a passion for reading and writing so the next step was clear.
I'm a professional translator that works in the combination English and French to Spanish. I have a degree on translation and interpreting and I'm a native Spanish speaker. I do general translation but mostly Humanities / Art and Architecture translations.
