A common feature of the artistic practices of Joan Brossa and André du Colombier is the key role played by poetry and objects. Du Colombier was born in 1952 in Barcelona, though rather by chance, as his father taught philosophy in French schools abroad. Even so, his family did not stay for very long, and there is no evidence he would have met Brossa, who was born in the same city in 1919. Their works share an interest in language, a sense of humour and a playful spirt, along with a common concern for everyday objects, an anti-establishment attitude and a political scope.
With this in mind, we visit the exhibition Digues, cosa. Joan Brossa i els poemes objecte [Speak, Thing: Joan Brossa and Poem Objects] at the Centre de les Arts Lliures de la Fundació Joan Brossa, followed by a visit to the exhibition André du Colombier: A Lyrical Point of View, at the Museu Tàpies. While on this walk from one institution to the other, artist Estel Boada will enliven a mediation proposal related to objects. The activity concludes with an aperitif on the Museu Tàpies terrace.
Guided by Estel Boada, Sílvia Galí and Maria Sellarès
