Screening of the “road movie: Sidamún, Alamús, Almatret. Viatge a la Franja de Ponent” (1986), by Àngel Jové, Benet Rossell and Carles Hac Mor

As an extension of the exhibition Àngel Jové. De intactu, the Museu Tàpies will present a screening of the road movie Sidamún, Alamús, Almatret. Viatge a la Franja de Ponent (1986), created by Àngel Jové, Benet Rossell and Carles Hac Mor. The film is a feature-length piece resulting from extensive video recording. It documents a journey through the Franja de Ponent and takes shape as a hybrid artifact between film, performance, and writing. Far from any conventional narrative intention, the film unfolds a fragmented and experimental perspective on the landscape, understood as a space of friction between reality, memory, and language.

The work makes it possible to situate the intellectual and creative affinities between three key figures of the Catalan artistic and literary scene of the second half of the 20th century, all linked to avant-garde practices and to an expanded conception of art. In this sense, the project becomes a privileged point of entry for understanding how, in Jové’s work, the artistic gesture intertwines with poetic language and with a sustained attention to territory as a space of experience and thought. Within this context, the journey becomes not only a physical displacement, but also a poetic and conceptual device from which to rethink language, perception, and forms of representation.

The film will be screened in the auditorium of the Museu Tàpies on the following dates and at the following times:

• Thursday, April 30, from 3 to 7 p.m.
• Friday, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Sunday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Tuesday, May 5, from 3 to 7 p.m.

The film has been loaned by the Museu Morera of Lleida, courtesy of Cristina Giorgi, widow of Benet Rossell.

As a closing event, the activity Cartografía de un viaje: Jové, Rossel y Hac Mor, scheduled for May 5, 2026 at 6:00 p.m., will further explore the experimental film by Jové, Rossell and Hac Mor.
