Featured Events in Barcelona in March, 2025 (March Updated)

The MNAC, at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Lyon and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, will be exhibiting this exhibition for the first time in the three versions of the Vision of St. Francis of Assisi by Pope Nicholas V, a masterpiece by Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664). The exceptional possibility of confronting the three paintings gives light on each of them. The work that preserves the MNAC has undergone a profound restoration process that has allowed it to recover its original appearance and to remove the details hidden by the passage of time. In the vision of St. Francis by Pope Nicholas V, Zurbarán depicts a legendary episode in which the Pope asked the Pope to see the mummified body of the saint in the crypt of the basi of ’Assisi. The painter condenses a complex narrative action by focusing on the essentials and shows us only the subjective vision of the Pope. Zurbarán has the figure of Saint Francis as a work of ’art in a museum, working with light, space and geometric construction. It gives him strength and a prodigious presence, making it seem that the mummy of the saint takes his own life. From the contemplation of the real, the images transport us beyond reality, or inside, their soul. This exhibition will also bring together other works by Zurbarán, among them the two twin versions, which are very different from his famous still life’atuells, the Museo del Prado and the Museu Nacional ’d’Art de Catalunya. In these paintings, Zurbarán creates an aesthetic of the emptiness, the distance and the presence, and the silence, where we do not distinguish the everyday life of the religious mystery.

A group exhibition that aims to reverse the dramaturgy of the museum by putting the artwork at the centre so we can address its will, its energy and its poetic intention. What would happen if we separated the artwork from the museographic context that surrounds it? Would it be possible to think of museography as a kind of aphasia, a loss of language? Would it be possible to break up the dramaturgy of the museum that guides us in how to move through its spaces, how to register the artistic experiences they offer us, and how to apprehend the sensations that emanate from them? If we assumed that this shift were possible, what other meanings might arise, allowing us to interpret the work in a different way, and also to reinvent the museum as an institution? If that were within the realm of possibility, could we respond directly to the will of the work, to its energy and desire, to its ‘poetic intention’? Martinican poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant states that the poem must never deny the “way of the world”: can the museum put the work of art and the ways in which it reflects the world at the centre of everything?

Sueños psicodélicos, espacios mutantes multicolores, personajes en busca de respuestas a preguntas no formuladas... El universo gráfico y narrativo de Brecht Evens descansa, inevitablemente, en un mundo mucho menos libre de lo que a priori puede parecer. Constructos sociales, privilegios e imaginarios compartidos que nos sitúan a todos en lugares comunes y que el artista belga quiere identificar, señalar y compartir en esta masterclass en la que repasará toda su obra de manera crítica y consciente.

[contra]panorama is the second edition of the triennial Panorama. It is intended as an extended exercise that interprets the title of the project literally in order to question both the relevance of the triennial (or biennial) format and its ability to offer a panoramic image of the present.There is a desperate optimism in biennials’ and triennials’ repeated attempts to define the present and plant their flag in the future. Somehow, they are always late to the party. The accelerated pace at which the art system picks up and discards its chosen themes of interest only exacerbates that feeling that everything is getting old prematurely. Now that the future has ceased to be the repository of all the unfulfilled promises of modernity and become instead the source of our planetary anxieties, what is the point of continuing to organise biennials? As an institution that serves to arrange the modern and make it legible, does the museum have any legitimacy left?

The Paris that Catalan creators knew at the beginning of the 20th century was the world capital of modern art and the cradle of avant-garde experimentation. Painters, engravers, illustrators, musicians, interpreters, writers, journalists and other personages embodied their perception of the city of light in works that we can now contemplate together in this major exhibition.

The exhibition Pleas of Resistance traverses more than twenty-five years of practice by the artist Carlos Motta, who consistently engages with the body and sexual dissidence as a terrain of experimentation and political contestation. His early explorations of photographic self-portraiture are shown alongside his most recent performances and video installations. The exhibition explores the magnitude of Motta’s artistic research and its implacable rigor in relation to the archive, interrogating its violence, its silencing and its desires. Motta’s work challenges the imposition of Eurocentric epistemologies – from the time of the conquest and colonial period in the Americas to the present day – and considers the legacy of religion as a perpetrator and disturbing vehicle of coloniality.

Ropa de casa (Seix Barral) y Nela 1979 (Tusquets) ofrecen dos personalísimas visiones de la Barcelona de finales de los setenta. Invitamos a sus autores, Ignacio Martínez Pisón y Juan Trejo a conversar sobre estas, sus obras más recientes. *** Ignacio Martínez de Pisón fue niño en el Logroño de los sesenta, muchacho en la Zaragoza de los setenta y aprendiz de novelista en la Barcelona de los ochenta. Ropa de casa es el apasionante retrato de formación de uno de los autores más sólidos de nuestra narrativa, unas memorias literarias que reflejan los profundos cambios vividos por la sociedad española, que en muy poco tiempo pasa de una rancia dictadura a una democracia consolidada que se integra en Europa. El libro dialoga a la perfección con Nela 1979, historia de no ficción que parte de la familia de Juan Trejo y que tiene como centro la muerte de su hermana Nela, víctima mortal de la heroína a los 21 años. Nela era rebelde, curiosa intelectualmente y precoz en muchos sentidos; se fue de casa con apenas dieciséis años para vivir una vida libre, más allá de las costumbres y la cultura de sus padres. Y Nela no tardó en interesarse por los movimientos políticos y culturales del momento. *** Ignacio Martínez de Pisón nació en Zaragoza en 1960 y reside en Barcelona desde 1982. Es autor de más de quince libros, entre los que destacan las novelas La ternura del dragón (1984); Carreteras secundarias (1996); El tiempo de las mujeres (2003); Dientes de leche (2008), galardonada con el Premio San Clemente y el Premio Giuseppe Acerbi; El día de mañana (2011), por la que recibió el Premio de la Crítica, el Premio Ciutat de Barcelona y el Premio de las Letras Aragonesas; La buena reputación (2014), Premio Nacional de Narrativa y Premio Cálamo al Libro del Año; Derecho natural (2017); Fin de temporada (2020) y Castillos de fuego (2023). También ha publicado los ensayos Enterrar a los muertos (2005), que obtuvo los premios Rodolfo Walsh y Dulce Chacón y fue unánimemente elogiado por la crítica en varios países europeos, y Filek: El estafador que engañó a Franco (2018); el libro de relatos Aeropuerto de Funchal (2009) y sus memorias bajo el título Ropa de casa (2024). Su obra está traducida a una docena de idiomas. Juan Trejo (Barcelona, 1970), licenciado en filología hispánica por la Universidad de Barcelona, fue miembro del consejo de redacción de la desaparecida revista Lateral y codirector de la revista literaria Quimera. Ejerce como traductor literario y colabora en la revista Altaïr Magazine. Su primera novela, El fin de la Guerra Fría, fue celebrada como «un soberbio ejercicio de recuperación de la sentimentalidad escrito con herramientas nuevas» (Robert Juan-Cantavella). En 2014, La máquina del porvenir se alzó con el X Premio Tusquets Editores de Novela, en opinión del jurado por su «formidable despliegue narrativo y su ambición fabuladora». La otra parte del mundo fue su tercera novela, de la que se dijo que era una «fábula originalísima y trascendente disfrazada de novela estándar» (Carlos Robles, Quimera). También es autor de la originalísima La barrera del sonido (2019). Information Source: Llibreria Finestres | eventbrite

She's since been in over 50 productions plus countless miscellaneous sketches and side projects after beginning improv training at age 13 and playwrighting at 14. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre Performance at Catawba College - where she served as the captain of their improv team and completed her thesis entitled: Found in Translation: Multi-lingual Theatre in the Fight Against Xenophobia, in tandem to premiering an original play, Beyond the Grave. She's trained with companies like Strangemen & Co., the Maryland Ensemble Theatre, and CenterStage (Baltimore, MD USA). With almost two decades of experience under her belt as actor, playwright, choreographer, and technician, Brielle is the recipient of an Irene Ryan nomination for her portrayal in the titular role of Dr. Cecilia Payne Gaposhkin in the world premiere of Sister of the Stars (Salisbury NC, USA 2018), a professionally produced playwright, and now serves here in Barcelona as the host of two open mics, a resident player on two improv teams, a dialect/acting coach, and the Technical Director of Lighting at the BCN Studio. What people think about Brielle's teaching Brielle is a talented and professional coach with a wide range of knowledge on stage presence, acting and storytelling which all informed the development of my comedy show for Edinburgh Fringe. - Michelle Ahern, We've Had a Good Run “Before Brielle's lessons, I had no idea how certain American sounds were made, and at times, my English wasn’t clear on stage when doing character voices. Thanks to her, I now feel much more confident in my speaking, both in daily life and while performing.” - Thierry Lapouge, Typical Adult Behavior Information Source: The BCN Studio | eventbrite
