consonni is a producer of art projects based in Bilbao. Since 1997, it has been inviting artists to develop projects which do not take the form of an art object displayed in an exhibition space.

Matthieu Laurette, Hinrich Sachs, Andrea Fraser, Sergio Prego, Ibon Aranberri, Itziar Okariz, Saioa Olmo, Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum etc. are developing works with consonni which borrow tools from the contemporary world to produce art projects in a wide variety of formats including a television programme, an auction of Basque typography, guided tours of an abandoned amusement park and a march of zombies to subvert, criticise or simply analyse the society that surrounds them.

This makes for projects which are less visible as art but are seen by a wider range of audiences. Unheard and unseen, consonni opts for camouflage as its strategy for action. The production of art in its most intangible, communicative sense and the system of art itself are based not only on practice and context but also on self-analysis and questioning, which consonni seeks to provoke in all its projects.
