The museum will present a large video installation at the Sala Oval (Barcelona, 1943). Created in New York City between 1980 and 1982, From the center is a fundamental work both in the artist’s career and in the history of video art. This work of great technical complexity and rich in meaning evokes the great megalithic monuments of antiquity, is an electronic "Stonehenge", in the words of the artist. Due to its quality and importance in the historical perspective of Catalan contemporary art, the Generalitat has recently acquired it for the National Collection of Contemporary Art and is already part of the MNAC collections.
The twelve monoliths in a circle form a large transient panorama and offer a total of partial visions that, as a whole, represent a unique and complete contemplation of the world. The filming of all the images was made over two years from a single fixed point on the roof of a building in the center of Manhattan, on the Broadway corner of the Grand St. George. The sounds and music of each of the twelve channels were created by the artist, musician and sound pioneer Peter Van Riper (1942-1998). The sum of the twelve video and sound channels generate an intense and complex space.

从来都没有神

Guire Park is a treasure of Barcelona and a world heritage site. Designed by Gaudi, the fairytale mosaic architecture in the park is eye-catching and uniquely artistic. Here, you can enjoy artworks such as wavy benches, overlook the entire city of Barcelona, and the Sagrada Familia. Every place is worth taking pictures and it is worth a visit.

Casa Batlló

王协兰城

The Bartholomew House is about 500 meters away from the Mira House. Looking at several places together, you can learn more about Gaudi&#39;s incomparable imagination. Follow the Chinese voice guide, if you don&#39;t go to the roof, you can go shopping in about an hour; the time is short, but it is worth it. Buying tickets on Trip.com is as convenient as domestic ones. Buy in advance is cheaper. Buy late. Maybe there is no ticket at that time. These attractions can go to the official website to buy tickets, but Trip.com is really more convenient, and the price of many tickets is not higher than the official website. However, the tickets for the Batllo House are a bit complicated, divided into blue tickets, silver tickets, and gold tickets. Blue tickets are the basic, including the building + AI light and shadow show; silver tickets and gold tickets can go to the roof, not bad for money.

Looking at Picasso&#39;s work, suddenly I understood, that primitive, bold, strong thing deeply attracted me, stimulated my senses! Picasso casually used various painting methods to express his own emotions, basically not pure aesthetics, is to move to rational, abstract, re-constituting objects, combination, bring people newer, more profound feelings!

National Art Museum of Catalonia

The National Museum of Art of Catalonia is a major museum in Barcelona, Spain, and one of the largest museums in the region. The museum&rsquo;s design extends the new Baroque architecture to an unprecedented scale. The terrace of the museum is the high ground of Barcelona. Overlooking Plaza de Espa&ntilde;a and the Venice Twin Towers, the most impressive are the locals, relaxed, laid back and full of heat.
