SUMMARY:Presentation of the book "Gozos mínimos. Comentario parcial al ‘Libro de amigo y amado’ de Ramon Llull"
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Museu Tàpies hosts the presentation of the book Gozos mínimos. Comentario parcial al ‘Libro de amigo y amado’ de Ramon Llull [Minimal Pleasures: Partial Commentary on “The Book of the Lover and the Beloved” by Ramon Llull]\, by Amador Vega\, with images by Frederic Amat\, published in a bilingual Edition by Días Contados. The presentation will feature the presence of Amador Vega\, Frederic Amat and Miquel Bassols. \nWhat does it mean to love or desire a written text? The response of Amador Vega is to maintain this text in play and movement. The Book of the Lover and the Beloved\, by Majorcan sage Ramon Llull (1275–1316)\, is a classic of European spiritual literature\, a guide to a living drama that is never the same as itself. Gozos mínimos is a staging of this drama\, documenting the tastes and tribulations of someone who has read the book for more than forty years. Together with the para-textual images of Frederic Amat\, this lyrical commentary on “the philosopher’s enamoured soul” speculates and intones with Llull\, offering personal life anecdotes and those of others\, while addressing other authors with citations from more than 600 years of reading in favour and against mysticism. \n  \nParticipants: \nAmador Vega (Barcelona\, 1958) is a philosopher and professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra\, where he directs the Centre for Aesthetics\, Religion and Contemporary Culture. Recent publications include DIA-LOGOS: Ramon Llull’s Method of Thought and Artistic Practice (2019) and Tentativas sobre el vacío. Ensayos de estética y religión (2022). He is currently Visiting Fellow at the Warburg Institute\, University of London. \nFrederic Amat (Barcelona\, 1952) is a painter and multidisciplinary artist whose work has been exhibited and published widely internationally. Amat’s work moves through the terrains of theatre\, literature\, dance\, cinema and architecture. \nMiquel Bassols is a psychoanalyst in Barcelona\, member of the École de la Cause freudienne and of the Comunitat de Catalunya de l’Escola Lacaniana de Psicoanàlisi. Lecturer at the Institut del Camp Freudià. Doctorate by the Département de Psychanalyse of the Université Paris 8 with a tesis on «L’amor\, la paraula i la lletra a Ramon Llull». Former president of the Association Mondiale de Psychanalyse (2014-2018). Translator into Catalan of  Jacques Lacan’s writing\, _Lituraterra_\, with the comment “Lecturaterra”\, published in Días Contados\, Barcelona 2021. \n

SUMMARY:International symposium 'The Wall and the City: Visual Devices of Modernity'
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe international symposium The Wall and the City: Visual Devices of Modernity\, a critical reading of modernity through its material and visual devices—walls\, facades\, pavements\, shop windows\, posters and display structures—understood as active agents in mediation between art\, design\, architecture and perceptive experience. The symposium analyses how matter\, light\, montage and the arrangement of objects shape ways of seeing\, inhabiting and understanding the city. \nIn the context of European postwar reconstruction and the cultural isolation of Francoism\, the exhibition space and urban landscape worked as laboratories of modernity. Museums\, pavilions\, display windows and housing became experimental sites where architecture\, design and display gave rise to a new visual and urban sensibility. In Barcelona\, figures like Antoni Tàpies\, Josep Antoni Coderch\, Oriol Bohigas and Ricard Giralt Miracle articulated a contained modernity rooted in craft\, highly dense in material and gestural terms\, thus defining a kind of visual culture and model for display. \nThis symposium reexplores these languages from the 1950s and 1960s in order to explore their present-day validity and set them into dialogue with other European focal points of modernity\, like Milan\, Paris and London\, conceiving the contemporary museum and city as spaces for critique\, experimentation and aesthetic experience. \nThe symposium will feature\, among others\, Jordana Mendelson\, art historian and Professor at New York University; Juan José Lahuerta\, Professor of the History of Art and Architecture at the Barcelona School of Architecture (UPC); and Beatriz Colomina\, architect and Professor of the History and Theory of Architecture at the Princeton University School of Architecture. \nResearchers\, artists\, architects\, designers and curatorial professionals are invited to submit proposals that address these issues from critical\, historical or contemporary perspectives\, and with interdisciplinary approaches. The call for papers promoted by the Antoni Tàpies Chair – UPF of Contemporary Art and Thought broadens and deepens the curatorial proposal of the exhibition\, inviting critical investigation of these material and symbolic infrastructures from diverse historical and theoretical perspectives\, taking as a starting point the exhibition that can currently be visited at the Tàpies Museum. Beyond the exhibition narrative\, the symposium opens a space for academic debate to analyze how these devices have shaped aesthetic perception and experience\, as well as the social and political dynamics inscribed in the modern city. \n  \nThe complete programme will be published shortly. \n  \nWith the collaboration and participation of the Antoni Tàpies – UPF Chair of Contemporary Art and Thought. \n  \n[Image: Antoni Tàpies\, Porta metàl·lica i violí\, 1956.  Museu Tàpies Collection\, Barcelona. © Comissió Tàpies / VEGAP\, 2026.]

SUMMARY:Book-Wall. Reading club 2026
DESCRIPTION:Within the framework of the exhibition Àngel Jové. De intactu\, we have organised a reading group in collaboration with the bookshops Finestres\, La Central and La Impossible. On this occasion\, the selection of books\, which as always will be the responsibility of the bookseller\, will be related to the list of books published by the Anagrama publishing house that will incorporate illustrations by Jové on their covers. \nLlibre-mur [Book-Wall] (1990) is a work by Antoni Tàpies that lends its name to the series of reading clubs we have organised in recent years in collaboration with bookshops in the neighbourhood concerning our current exhibitions. Tàpies’ interest in books\, both as objects and as sources of knowledge\, and the fact that the museum premises formerly housed a publishing company\, Montaner y Simón\, make dialogues like this about writing\, reading and art appropriate. \n  \nProgramme \n· Tuesday\, June 2\, 2026\, at 6:30 p.m.\, at the Library of the Museu Tàpies: “Bajo el signo de marte“\, by Fritz Zorn (Editorial Anagrama)\, with Cèlia Esteva\, from the La Central. bookstore. \n  \n· Tuesday\, July 14\, 2026\, at 6:30 p.m.\, at the Library of the Museu Tàpies: “El héroe de las mansardas de Mansard“\, by Alvaro Pombo (Editorial Anagrama)\, with Olga Federico and Mireia Perelló\, from the  La Impossible bookstore. \n  \n· Wednesday\, September 16\, 2026\, at 6:30 p.m.\, at the Library of the Museu Tàpies: “El sobrino de Wittgenstein“\, by Thomas Bernhard (Editorial Anagrama)\, with Noelia Nistal\, from the Finestres bookstore. \n  \n[Image: Exhibition “Àngel Jové.

SUMMARY:Mari Lyn Diniz / Dora García. Corocuerpo (de feminidades disidentes o Mejor os calláis todos)
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Tàpies Museum project Extramurs 2026\, curated by Imma Prieto\, director of the Museu Tàpies\, and Judith Barnés\, head of public programmes at the Museu Tàpies. \n\n\nA chorus of trans women raise their voices to engage in dialogue with one another and address the audience as if they were a Greek chorus. Resurrection as justice. \n. \n\n\n\n\nSylvia Rivera\, one of the pioneers in the fight for the rights of gay\, lesbian and trans people\, delivered a speech at the New York City Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally in 1973 that became known as “Y’all Better Quiet Down”. Mari Lyn Diniz and Dora García will take inspiration from this speech in a performance art piece in which they work with a group of trans women who\, like a Greek chorus\, will interact with the audience. \nThis corocuerpo\, or chorus/body\, offers a direct critique of the structural violence of cis-normative discourse\, both heterosexual and  homosexual\, and celebrates ways of life that have historically been excluded from the public sphere. The incorporation of excerpts from the song O Amor\, by Brazilian singer Gal Costa\, reinforces the idea of resurrection as justice: here\, resurrection means bringing visibility to silenced voices\, excluded bodies and dissident genealogies. \nThe concept of resurrection is also present in Dora García’s second creation in the Extramurs project\, El bicho. The Gal Costa song that is recited adapts a poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky (Amor 3)\, the same author who inspired El bicho. \nCorocuerpo (De feminidades disidentes o Mejor os calláis todos) and El bicho form part of the Tàpies Museum project Extramurs\, which conceives the city as a space for action and outreach. With a multidisciplinary and inclusive approach\, it fosters dialogue between institutions\, with public spaces and with the environment. Developed in collaboration with Barcelona’s EINA University School of Art and Design and the Barcelona Grec Festival\, among others\, the Extramurs project proposes creations and activities that address contemporary needs and encourage new community narratives in urban spaces. It champions the idea of public walls as bearers of city residents’ voices\, places where collective narratives take shape and shared experiences are re-signified\, connecting directly with Tàpies’ thinking. \nEach annual edition of Extramurs moves from the Tàpies Museum into public spaces in collaboration with the Barcelona Grec Festival and other city institutions. The 2026 edition has invited the artist Dora García. Dora García works primarily in the visual arts and occasionally dance and theatre\, as well as engaging with social and political contexts. Her work spans literature\, film\, installation and performance art\, and focuses on stories she constructs and stages herself\, creating situations designed to engage visitors and create unique\, introspective experiences. \nA production by the Museu Tàpies and the 2026 Barcelona Grec Festival. \n\n  \nPerformers: Mari Lyn Diniz (BR) | Amanda Araújo (BR) | Helen Bogado (AR) | Lola Callejas (CL) | Milah Lorsalles (AR) | Soltanaterra (BR) \nWith the collaboration of students of Escola EINA and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra: Daniela Barriga | Isidora Cruz | Lucas Camacho | Rita Duelt | Berta Esteve | Bárbara Lara Leiva | Carla López | Ben Muñoz | Lara Requena | Mitzi Reyna | Maria Sierra | Mireia Solé | Yu Yan

SUMMARY:Dora García. El Bicho
DESCRIPTION:  \nPart of the Tàpies Museum project Extramurs  2026\, curated by Imma Prieto\, director of the Tàpies Museum\, and Judith Barnés\, head of public programmes at the museum. \n\n\nTaking the satirical comedy of a disillusioned poet as the starting point\, a leading figure in performance art invites us to break down the hierarchy between audience and performance artists in pursuit of the “bug” of our time. \n\n\n\n\nIn 1929\, the futurist poet Vladimir Mayakovsky wrote “The Bedbug” (published in Spanish as “La chinche”)\, a science-fiction story about a Soviet revolutionary who\, in 1929\, is accidentally frozen along with an insect that parasitises him. Fifty years later\, in 1979\, both the revolutionary and the insect come back to life. \nObsessed with this story\, Dora García creates a work of performance art involving seven performers and the audience\, imagining a collective author who asks what happens over a fifty-year period\, who or what tells what has happened\, and who decides which events have transformed the world over that time. \nThe piece (which varies in length depending on the space in which it is presented) imagines a story repeated cyclically\, a kind of eternal return that\, however\, contains a flaw\, a parasite\, an insect\, a bug\, that prevents this repetition from unfolding without victims. Each presentation of the performance involves the audience in a different activity: sometimes it is a lecture\, sometimes a workshop\, or perhaps a dance class or a skating demonstration; and sometimes a play. Here\, hierarchies are subverted: between performer and viewer\, between those who speak and those who listen. \nEl Bicho (like the Corocuerpo\, performance art piece\, also included in the Grec programme) forms part of the Tàpies Museum project Extramurs\, which conceives the city as a space for action and outreach. With a multidisciplinary and inclusive approach\, it fosters dialogue between institutions\, with public spaces and with the environment. Developed in collaboration with Barcelona’s EINA University School of Art and Design and the Barcelona Grec Festival\, among others\, the Extramurs project proposes creations and activities that address contemporary needs and encourage new community narratives in urban spaces. It champions the idea of public walls as bearers of city residents’ voices\, places where collective narratives take shape and shared experiences are re-signified\, connecting directly with Tàpies’ thinking. \nEach annual edition of Extramurs moves from the Tàpies Museum into public spaces in collaboration with the Barcelona Grec Festival and other city institutions. The 2026 edition has invited the artist Dora García. Dora García works primarily in the visual arts and occasionally dance and theatre\, as well as engaging with social and political contexts. Her work spans literature\, film\, installation and performance art\, and focuses on stories she constructs and stages herself\, creating situations designed to engage visitors and create unique\, introspective experiences. \nA production by the Tàpies Museum\, the Gran Teatre del Liceu and the 2026 Barcelona Grec Festival. \nSuitable for audiences of all ages. \n\n\n\nPerformers: \nDora García | Simón Asencio | Persis Bekkering | Michelangelo Miccolis | Adriano Wilfert Jensen | Castillo | Krõõt Juurak \n  \nThanks to: \nIUAV Venezia | KHiO Oslo | DeSingel & M KHA Amberes | and the students of the course THE BUG at the Oslo National Academy of Arts
