Featured Events in Barcelona in January, 2025 (May Updated)

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?

The creation of Joan Miró would not be properly understood without the large number of drawings, sketches, annotations and preliminary studies that he kept over the years. Miró's methodical character finds in the drawing an ideal instrument, always within reach, that allows him to retain embryonic ideas and visualize them. In some cases the works are faithful transpositions of preparatory drawings, with references to colors, measurements, the title or the technique. However, support is not always a conventional role. Sometimes an ad stimulates irony or a newspaper article provides a context or set to figures and signs, evoking how distressing or desolate the representation might be. Other times it's just a snippet to set up a fleeting mental connection. The support never disguises what it is: a ticket, a sheet of an agenda or a calendar, the back of a typed letter or the closing of an envelope. Then Miró's manual dating contradicts the printed date on the page torn from the agenda, the typed text that translutes claims to be read and the envelope leaves its folds intersecting.

Queer as Book nació en 2023 de las ganas y la necesidad de reunirse, conocer gente nueva y comentar libros relacionados con el colectivo LGTBIQA+. Un espacio seguro donde poder hablar sin juicios entorno a un libro y bajo las experiencias de cada une. Tras siete sesiones, volvemos a la carga con nuevas lecturas para esta segunda edición. En esta sesión, comentaremos el poemario El unicornio negrode Audre Lorde (Ediciones Torremozas, 2019), que explora sobre identidad, racismo, feminismo y deseo queer, desafiando las normas y abrazando la resistencia. Pluraridades y opresiones de una mujer afroamericana y lesbiana en los Estados Unidos en la década de los años 70. El club se realizará en Barcelona, en El Noa Noa Eixample (Carrer de Villarroel, 71). Cafetería, librería, concept store. Un espacio práticamente recién estrenado que nos acoge con los brazos abiertos. Queer as Book es un espacio seguro (y valiente) donde no se admitirán opiniones que no respeten los derechos del colectivo LGTBIQA+. El resto, sean todes ¡Bienvenides!

[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 resistance of language and the morphology of speech are two characteristics of the work of Teresa Solar Abboud(Madrid, 1985). Her work is based on a continuous search for multiple concepts presented as enormous sculptural installations that, in recent years, have become more complex through forms related to resistance, hollowness, the body and bone structure. The artist began using drawing and video as her fundamental work tools, but over time her production has come to focus on sculpture, exploring new materials with which she articulates forms that refer to elements related to the organic and lead to a world of metaphors that hint at the flow of currents, voids and the connectivity between orifices and gaps.

La escritura prodigiosa, característica de Trías, reluce en El monte de las furias (Random House), una novela inquietante y atmosférica. *** En El monte de las furias, una mujer vive en la ladera de la montaña, entre la neblina que baja y el follaje feraz. Su misión es cuidar los linderos, avisar al celador de cualquier anomalía. En sus cuadernos escribe sobre su rutina parsimoniosa y los recuerdos de una infancia marcada por una madre brutal y por el deseo insatisfecho de aprender. Al fondo, se escucha la cantera y el ruido de las camionetas blindadas sobre la destapada. Un día aparece en su jardín un cuerpo, y turbados y cuidadosos de no llamar la atención, con el celador deciden enterrarlo. Pero aparece otro. Y otro y otro y otro… En palabras de Emiliano Monge, «El monte de las furias es un libro excepcional, duro, descarnado, hermoso, primigenio, terroso y verde, muy, muy vivo aunque la desaparición y el tiempo sean o parezcan sus protagonistas mayores». *** FernandaTrías (Uruguay, 1976) es narradora, traductora y docente de creación literaria. Publicó Cuaderno para un solo ojo, La azotea, La ciudad invencible, No soñarás flores y Mugre rosa. Por Mugre rosa recibió el apoyo de la residencia Eñe/Casa de Velázquez (España, 2018), el Premio Nacional de Literatura (Uruguay, 2020), el premio de la crítica Bartolomé Hidalgo (Uruguay, 2021) y el Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (México, 2021). En 2024, Mugre rosa estuvo nominada a los National Book Awards en Estados Unidos. Tanto La azotea como Mugre rosa obtuvieron el British PEN Translates Award (2020 y 2022). Sus novelas se han traducido a más de quince lenguas. Belén López Peiró(Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 1992) estudió Periodismo (TEA) y Ciencias de la Comunicación Social (UBA). Actualmente, coordina Talleres de Escritura No Ficción con perspectiva de género y colabora de forma independiente para diversos medios. En 2018, su primera novela Por qué volvías cada verano (Lumen), se convirtió en un suceso de ventas y crítica. Information Source: Llibreria Finestres | eventbrite

Malaysian visual anthropologist Weiyan Low is interested in the intersection of technology and everyday materialism. In his fieldwork, Low collaborated with Rumah Kosong, a local film collective, on a documentary about the Kelantan Match Factory. Founded in 1933 and staffed by a predominantly female workforce, it is the last functioning match factory in Malaysia. The memories of the workforce paint a story of productive decline and aging that contrasts with, and also fits with, the careful maintenance of the machinery and the bond that the workers feel for their work. The humble matchstick, a functional object evocative of bygone customs that increasingly has fewer users, has become a symbol of its resistance to obsolescence.

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.
