SUMMARY:blanca arias: At the Edge of a Forest\, a Girl
DESCRIPTION:‘At the edge of a forest\, a girl.’ There is a promise\, from teller to listener\, concealed in that opening\, like a note tucked into a pocket\, a hint that something is about to happen. Anyone in the vicinity would turn their head and prick their ears\, their mind already forming a picture of the girl\, perhaps picking her way through trees or standing beside the green wall of a forest. \nExcerpt from Hamnet\, by Maggie O’Farrell \n  \nIt is with this horizon of expectation that At the Edge of a Forest\, a Girl unfolds. Taking the apparent voids in Antoni Tàpies’ work Mitjó [Sock] as her starting point\, the artist blanca arias invites us to inhabit the hole as an ambiguous space: absence and openness\, vulnerability and possibility. That which decorum usually casts aside — excess\, the abject\, deviation from the norm — becomes here a place for rethinking the perception of bodies and what our gaze says about us. \nIn this context\, body and matter are presented as surfaces for writing\, conveying what words cannot express. As an act of methodological care\, arias ‘pulls the thread’\, symbolically linking textile practices\, oral memory and discreet genealogies that are often left out of the official narrative. \nFrom a feminist perspective\, intuition and listening to the soft areas of the body are claimed here as forms of knowledge. Poetry\, conceived as a fold in language\, opens up spaces where other meanings emerge and allows us to question what we expect from the artistic experience today. \nActivity held as part of the third edition of the “Following the Sun” series\, entitled “Uncovering the Gaze”\, curated by Carolina Ciuti. \n  \nblanca arias (she/they) is an artist-researcher\, educator and curator. She holds a degree in Art History from the University of Barcelona and a master’s degree in Comparative Studies from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. She develops her practice in the field of image\, from where she fabulates about possible lesbian feminist gestures and materialities. Blandito blandito. ¿Qué le hacemos las feministas al arte? (Cielo Santo\, 2025) is her first book. \nShe is currently a member of the Public and Social Programming Department at the Fundació Miró\, as well as an educator at MACBA and a volunteer at the Ca la Dona archive. She has curated exhibitions at the CCCB (2026)\, Fundació Miró (2025)\, Sala d’Art Jove (2024) and La Panera (2024)\, and has also carried out art mediation activities at Matadero\, MNAC\, La Capella\, MACBA\, Monestir de Pedralbes and the Centre LGBTI\, among others. As an artist\, her work has been recognised with grants from Barcelona Crea (2024) and Sala d’Art Jove (2023)\, and has been exhibited in spaces such as the EACC (Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló)\, Loop Festival and Tabakalera.

SUMMARY:Walls\, Dividers or Partitions. Family activity
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of his career\, Antoni Tàpies explored new possibilities for painting\, experimenting with extra-pictorial materials such as marble dust to give varied textures to his works. As he himself would say\, while working with such practices the canvas would surprise him\, turning into a wall. \nHave you ever paid attention to the walls at your home? What do they tell us? How do they do it? During this activity we will listen to walls\, dividers and partitions. While doing so\, we will get to know the creative process behind the wall-works of Antoni Tàpies\, with his communicative capacity and fascination for walls. Then\, as we go for a walk\, we will focus on the marks on the walls found around the museum to reveal the stories they have to tell us. \nActivity in the context of the exhibition “Antoni Tàpies. The Perpetual Movement of the Wall“.

SUMMARY:Carles Congost. Grey Has Declinations
DESCRIPTION:Carles Congost presents Grey Has Declinations\, a performative intervention that gives precedence to the role of text and sound. The imposing influence of the writings of Antoni Tàpies is expressed through various musical and sound tracks\, created previously by the artist. \nCongost adopts the role of a DJ\, turning a clubbing session into a hybrid\, reflexive performance. This hybridisation responds to various ways of intervening on the tracks\, and is also expressed in the various creative processes undertaken. \nIn some cases\, Congost improvises over preexisting instrumental bases\, introducing new effects and voices created by artificial intelligence\, so as to organise the messages within the particular economy of the song format. In other circumstances\, he recreates ambience landscapes where the text appears in a more abstract\, suggestive manner. \nDespite clear formal differences between Congost’s work and that of Tàpies\, this performance seeks to highlight the essential ideas they share as related to the creative act\, which here deserve to be united and celebrated. The Tàpies texts utilised work as foundational material for this study\, bringing to the fore the free association of ideas as a valid way of working. Congost ravels up and reworks the original texts\, which never appear in literal fashion\, with the aim of emphasising the transversality\, pertinence and universality of the ideas of the painter Antoni Tàpies. \nActivity carried out within the framework of the third edition of the cycle “The Chairs of Tàpies“\, curated by Judith Barnés. \n  \nCarles Congost employs various visual and sound procedures\, including video\, photography\, drawing and installation\, to create narratives that ironically and sensually reflect on the forging of identity\, consumer habits and artistic creation itself. In his work he analyses the codes of popular culture as vehicles for differentiating constructions\, and as hegemonic forms of subjectivity. \nCongost has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions\, including Music as a Foreign Language\, Museu Es Baluard\, Palma\, 2023; What are Songs Good For? \, La Casa Encendida\, Madrid\, 2020; A Sense of Wonder\, Centre d’Art Contemporani Fabra i Coats\, Barcelona\, 2018; X Nicaragua Biennial\, 2016; Manifesta 11\, Zurich\, 2016; The Real Royal Trip\, PS1/MOMA\, New York\, 2003; Popcorn Love\, Espacio Uno – Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, 2001; and Country Girls\, Espai 13 – Fundació Miró\, Barcelona\, 2000. \n  \nImage: Montseny with violence

SUMMARY:"Against the Wall" series
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Against the Wall series of encounters is part of the exhibition project Antoni Tàpies: The Perpetual Movement of the Wall\, extending its question marks to the present. Setting out from an analysis of the contexts and forms of exhibition of Tàpies’ work in the 1950s\, the programme sets out to activate the wall not just as a formal or architectural feature\, but also as a sensitive\, cultural and political device that structures the relationship between artwork\, body and space. \nIn those years\, the wall became more than just a pictorial medium for Tàpies: it was an active surface on which gestures\, memories and tensions are inscribed\, but also a point of contact with modern architecture\, graphic design\, industry and the changing cityscape. The different setup solutions explored by the artist in his individual exhibitions in the fifties show just how far exhibition conditions form part of the very meaning of the artwork\, and how the work dialogues with specific ways of living\, of producing culture and of seeing the world. \nTaking this as its starting point\, the series —moderated by arts journalist Clàudia Rius— offers a series of contemporary dialogues between artists and agents in the art system working today with related concerns: matter and its symbolic baggage\, the relation between art and architecture\, the presence of the body\, the affective dimension of the exhibition space and the ability of the wall to work as frontier\, medium\, skin and place for resistance. Far from a closed historiographic reading\, the encounters activate Tàpies’ work as a resonant field through which to think about current practices to produce\, exhibit and mediate art. \nEach encounter deals with the wall from a specific point of view —material fragility\, the skin of the artwork\, the body and affect— but all of them share the intention of questioning the limits between object and venue\, between intimacy and the public sphere\, between institutionalisation and sensitive experience. In this respect\, the series sees the wall as a place of friction and shared imagination\, able to condense conflicts\, desires and ways of relating that run through both Tàpies’ work and contemporary artistic practices. \nAt a time when the role of the exhibition space is once again subject to revision —in terms of its material\, symbolic and political conditions—\, Against the Wall sets out to build bridges between past and present\, between the debates that marked a key period in artistic modernity and the questions that today face artists\, institutions and audiences. Far from being a fixed boundary\, the wall is thus presented as a place in perpetual movement. \n  \nProgramme: \n  \n· Encounter 2. With Marria Pratts and Jordi Mayoral (Galeria Mayoral) \nDate: Tuesday\, 14 April 2026\, 6 p.m. \n  \n· Encounter 3.

SUMMARY:Laura Llaneli. Mute Murmur
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn Mute Murmur\, Laura Llaneli places sound in a space of unexpected possibility. Through this minimal yet sustained action\, she shifts listening towards the world of imagination and invites us to consider the extent to which a sound can exist without actually sounding. In a cultural context dominated by the visual\, this imagined listening project seeks to reshape\, albeit temporarily\, the perceptual frenzy that characterises contemporary life. \nThis performance is the result of ongoing research into sound perception and transmission and takes the form of a score without sounds\, open to each member of the audience’s individual and collective resonance. By evoking the sounds that frame the museum’s everyday institutional life\, the sounds of the urban fabric and the sounds of the natural surroundings\, it gives rise to frictions and expectations often lost in the background but which decisively shape our sensory experience. \nIn this way\, the museum terrace becomes especially permeable to these tensions. Situated simultaneously both inside and outside the institution\, in a seemingly sheltered place that is also exposed to the shifting sounds of the city that filter in\, it is reconfigured as a privileged setting for attentive listening to the (mute) murmurs that often go unnoticed yet which softly and subtly shape our collective perception. \nActivity held as part of the third edition of the “Following the Sun” series\, entitled “Uncovering the Gaze”\, curated by Carolina Ciuti. \n  \nThe work of Laura Llaneli (Granada\, 1986) explores the relationship between sound production and experience\, language and contemporary visual arts practices. Her projects focus on the impact of variations on patterns and stable structures in certain cultural products\, while also testing the resilience of language as a code and of sound as a social icon. \nShe is represented by ADN Galeria and is the winner of the 2019 Art for Change Prize\, the 2018 Miquel Casablancas Visual Arts Prize and the 2017 Embarrat Prize\, among others. She has held solo exhibitions in venues across Spain and abroad\, including the Centre de les Arts Lliures de la Fundació Joan Brossa\, Barcelona; La Capella\, Barcelona; Casal Solleric\, Palma; ADN Galeria\, Barcelona; Fundació Joan Miró\, Barcelona; Casaplan\, Valparaíso\, Chile; Swinton & Grant\, Madrid; and art3\, Valence\, France. She has also taken part in group shows at Lo Pati\, Amposta; The Clemente\, NYC; Palacio de los Condes de Gabia\, Granada; Centro de Arte Rafael Botí\, Córdoba; Tecla Sala\, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat; and Casa de Velázquez\, Madrid\, among others. She has performed at festivals such as Asistir 2022\, Mexico; Signal Reload\, Sardinia; Intermediale\, Poland; Mixtur\, Barcelona; POESIA i +\, Caldes d’Estrac; CAAMsonora\, Gran Canaria; LEM\, Barcelona; Tsonami IX\, Chile; and Eufònic\, Terres de l’Ebre. \nShe currently lives and works in Barcelona. She studied music before completing a diploma in Graphic Design. She holds a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona\, where she went on to do an MA in Sound Art and an MA in Teacher Training.

SUMMARY:Drawing visit. "Àngel Jové. De intactu" with Bea Ortiz
DESCRIPTION:Drawing has a significant presence in the multifaceted work of the artist Àngel Jové: infinite landscapes that are part of series; fragmentary or partial drawings; recurring motifs; drawing strokes over press images; drawings as if they were archival documents. We invite you to explore these materials through a drawn visit to the exhibition Àngel Jové. De intactu; that is\, a tour of the exhibition that takes drawing as a means of dialogue with his works. \nDuring the session\, Bea Ortiz will propose various practices focused on exploring drawing as an intermediary between the work of Àngel Jové and our interpretation of it. Based on the perception of some of his works\, participants will be invited to observe and experiment with different representation strategies. Through small formal approaches\, emphasis will be placed on the process and the ability of drawing to generate research: trying ways of looking\, translating forms\, rhythms\, or relationships present in Jové’s pieces. Through awareness of gesture\, stroke\, texture\, supports\, and tools\, drawing becomes a testimony of what the artwork conveys. Rather than representing it faithfully\, the aim is to translate an atmosphere\, a state\, or a feeling\, and see how the language of drawing can shape these impressions. \n  \nBea Ortiz holds a degree in Fine Arts\, specialising in painting. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions in cities such as Barcelona\, Madrid\, and Paris. She later completed the Higher Level Training Cycle in Illustration at the Escola Massana. She has illustrated three albums published by Editorial Andorra\, as well as for magazines such as Cavall Fort and Tretzevents. Over time\, she realised she preferred to share her passion for art with others in a practical and collaborative way. After several years working as an educator in various museums in Barcelona\, she currently teaches at the Escola d’Art i Disseny de Sant Cugat (EAD). \n  \n[Image: Àngel Jové. Metafísica III (1976).

SUMMARY:Poem/me xx1. Listening session/Hybrid reading
DESCRIPTION:Ikram Bouloum is the third guest of the series of actions entitled “The Chairs of Tàpies. Invoking the crack”. \nWith Poem/me xx1\, the artist reappropriates narrative space\, presenting a listening session/hybrid reading in the form of a plurilingual narration\, bringing together diverse memories\, poems\, songs and images. This body of work allows her\, for one\, to introduce the notion of fissure that runs through her album: the inherited wound. On the other hand\, the context that goes along with this narrative movement moves from the intimate to the collective\, tracing a path towards diaspora. \n\nIkram Bouloum is a Catalan-Amazigh artist\, selector and curator. After various years working primarily as a musical programmer and artistic director\, she is currently reviving and recentring her artistic and research practice\, reconnecting with the voice\, storytelling and music\, with a multidisciplinary and anti-disciplinary approach. \nIn her music\, which she mostly performs in her native Amazigh language from the Rif region\, she explores subjects that the North African diaspora oftens finds difficult to address\, reimagining legacies through an experimental vision that is both poetic and political. \nSeries “The Chairs of Tàpies” are curated by Judith Barnés. \n  \n[Photography: Lúa Oliver]

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.]
