SUMMARY:Aesthetics of Transit: Ancestral Memory and Collective Subconscious
DESCRIPTION:The Museu Tàpies presents a seminar with the aim of exploring the language and cosmology of Marta Palau. On the foundation of indigenous cosmovisions and ancestral rituals\, topics such as shamanism\, healing and sacred symbolism will be addressed. \nThis event enables us to reflect on how Palau uses practices that channel concepts of magic and history in relation to artistic practice\, developing a visual poetics that connects with the collective subconscious and ancestral memory. Her use of natural materials and traditional textile techniques\, as well as the creation of symbology rooted in personal experience\, help us speak of art as a creative tool for cultural resistance\, accentuating the spiritual abundance of native cultures. \nAs the closing event of the film series ‘The (In)visible Exiles’\, this seminar contributes to a rupture with anthropocentric and Eurocentric consciousness\, so as to inhabit the world on the basis of other narratives\, focusing on collective imaginations. In this regard\, the work of Palau should be understood as an act of memory and resistance in the face of dehumanising processes\, and as a gesture favouring understanding of the world as a concentric\, relational whole. \n  \nPROGRAMME \n· 6 pm. Presentation of the session by the Museu Tàpies \n· 6.10 pm. Lecture ‘Marta Palau Amongst Paths of Exile’\, by Mari Paz Balibrea \n· 6.50 pm. Lecture ‘Between Two Worlds: Women\, Art and Exile’\, by Gemma Domènech \n· 7.30 pm. Lecture ‘Those Female Visionaries\, We Female Visionaries: The Cosmology of Marta Palau’\, by Pilar Bonet \n· 8.10 pm. Poetic interlude ‘The Word: Exile of Exile’\, by Maria Sevilla \n· 8.30 pm.

SUMMARY:Fragments of Earth
DESCRIPTION:  \nMatria Libre – Arte sin Fronteras presents a piece of political dance where bodies become matter in movement\, leaving ephemeral imprints in space\, as if they were scars of a time that has been erased and rewritten. In this piece\, dance is not merely gesture\, but also an inscription\, a draft\, a kind of writing made of presence and absence\, where each step resonates as a mark of identity and collective memory. The dancers pass through invisible glazes\, revealing and concealing fragments of reality\, as if they were digging into the material of the forgotten. Between earth and air\, between weight and ascent\, the dance traces a path towards a type of spirituality that is not found in form but in the empty space it leaves behind. \n  \nMatria Libre – Arte sin Fronteras is a pioneering company of political dance. Their piece Sabia Tierra [Wise Earth] was presented at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. The company recently won an award at the Lens Dans Video Dance Festival\, for the piece Abolición de la Guerra [Abolition of War]. The company’s artistic proposal is based on the revival of ancestral knowledge and the creation of corporeal language in the pursuit of justice\, which is universal and broadens frontiers. The company is comprised of dancers Ada Saliou and Mayaymara Behoteguy Chávez. \nAda Saliou is a distinguished dancer\, choreographer and master of African dance. Through his unique corporeal language\, he expresses deep emotions and delves into socially relevant topics like immigration and the environment. \nMayaymara Behoteguy Chávez is a dancer and international activist. Steeped in the context of magic realism\, and deeply influenced by the struggle for social justice\, she has converted her dance into a cry against capitalism\, able to awaken consciences and activate change. \n  \nA session of  the second edition of the series The Chairs of Tàpies

SUMMARY:Weaving Generations: Intergenerational Project on Textile Art and the Work of Marta Palau
DESCRIPTION:I propose a dialogue where I will speak in a language of knots\, braided cord\, entwined forms. My language will be . . . the harsh clamour of the broken cord\, knotted\, woven\, twisted\, braided\, tied. . . \nCuesta\, Rosendo\, ‘Marta Palau\, notas de una entrevista imaginaria’.  \nMarta Palau in El arte feminista de Marta Palau\, Vindictas Artes Visuales\, TV UNAM. Video \n  \nWeaving Generations aims to create a space for encounter and knowledge exchange in relation to textile art. The project is conceived for a group comprised of twelve individuals from Espais de Gent Gran de l’Eixample [Eixample Senior Spaces] of Barcelona\, as well as six more from Eix Jove de l’Eixample [Eixample Youth Alliance] and six students with connections to the textile workshop at Escola Massana.  \nThe proposal will be for the group to enter into dialogue with the work of Marta Palau through three practical sessions\, dedicated to experimentation with weaving and knot-making techniques. Particular attention will be paid to the materials used\, prioritizing those connected to the immediate context or the personal environment of each participant.  \nThe project will conclude with a public activity to assess the processes and results of the sessions\, culminating with a performance piece by members of the G.A.C. (Grup d’Acció Creativa) from Eix Jove de l’Eixample. \n  \nProgramme \n  \n· Session 1 (30 April): visit to the exhibition Marta Palau: My Paths are Earthly. A small tapestry done with a vertical frame will be made in pairs. Previously\, the looms will be prepared with the warp\, while the kinds of fibres and materials that can be used for the grid will be explained. \n  \n· Session 2 (14 May): collaborative creation of a large tapestry made from materials taken from the immediate territory\, along with others brought by the participating individuals. The session is conceived as a way to encourage shared narratives related to materials\, their qualities and their origins. This session will feature the special participation of the project Tornen les esquelles [The Sheep Bells Return] and the design firm Cortana. \n  \n· Session 3 (28 May): collaborative creation of a circular macramé tapestry\, derived from the sculptural volumes and knot-making techniques employed by Marta Palau. \n  \n· Public Presentation (11 June): presentation of the results and the technical and learning processes involved in the project. The session will conclude with a performance that dialogues with the work of Marta Palau\, conceived and performed by members of the G.A.C. (Grup d’Acció Creativa) from Eix Jove de l’Eixample. \n

SUMMARY:Following the Sun. Adrasha
DESCRIPTION:The project mebrat / Հայանական is born from an ongoing investigation into lighthouses understood as an unusual architecture that\, paradoxically\, resonates with both the idea of guidance and that of border. The experimental artist and sound DJ has dedicated time to studying the different periodicities with which lighthouses emit light\, and has translated them into various rhythms and sounds. \nMoving away from the nautical connotations of the lighthouse\, the sound performance seeks to connect with emotional and geopolitical complexities such as homeland\, the need to travel\, composite identities\, changes in communication and mutating destinies\, through a series of field recordings and autobiographical samples: audio recordings of friends and family in Ethiopia and Spain\, interwoven with textures of his own voice and maritime motifs. \nThis sound collage —with a collaboration by Bamba\, from the Jokkoo collective— becomes a meditation on the fragility of memory and identity\, origin and destination\, acceptance and resistance. \n  \nAdrasha is an Ethiopian multidisciplinary artist based in Barcelona. She began her career as a dancer in Addis Ababa\, influenced by traditional and urban sounds from the Horn of Africa. Focused on exploring underground sounds —in particular\, contemporary club music from the African continent and its diaspora—\, Adrasha’s work attempts to create a dialogue between hybrid sound expressions\, such as Afropunk\, Gqom\, Future Dancehall and current experimental electronic music. \nA session within the framework of the second edition of Following the sun series\, curated by Gabriel Virgilio Luciani

SUMMARY:Florilegium of Lands and Bodies. Performance by Equipo Jeleton
DESCRIPTION:Equipo Jeleton offers us a public oracle reading of the Florilegium tarot\, questioning the exhibition Marta Palau: My Paths Are Earthly. Throwing threads into the past and the future to engage with the works and their enigmas. \nEquipo Jeleton’s Florilegium tarot brings together elements from their Political History of Flowers in twenty-five arcana that depict parts of the body\, plants and flowers\, and allegorical figures. \nThe performance will take place in two sessions. \n  \nEquipo Jeleton was established in 1999 by Gelen Alcántara Sánchez (Murcia\, 1975) and Jesús Arpal Moya (Barakaldo\, 1972).

SUMMARY:Untitled Performances with Esther Ferrer
DESCRIPTION:The second edition of the series The Chairs of Tàpies is fortunate to feature Esther Ferrer\, a pioneering figure in action art who has made her body an essential tool for resistance\, expression and thought. Ferrer sees the body not just as matter\, but as a symbolic medium for experiences\, memories and conflicts. Her practice works with the persistence of gesture\, the construction of time by repetition and the ability of the body to store and transmit\, almost like a written skin\, the tensions between the I and the world. \nOn the basis of silence\, humour and radicalism\, from a coherent\, free positioning\, she confronts convention\, offering a distinctive view of how bodies resist and explain\, becoming sensitive archives of identity\, absence and presence. Within this framework\, Ferrer will therefore be inviting us to celebrate gesture as living memory\, as a place from which the body appeals\, questions and transforms itself. \n  \nEsther Ferrer has been staging actions since the mid-sixties\, both individually and as a member of the ZAJ group (which broke up in 1996). In the early 1960s she set up\, together with the painter José Antonio Sistiaga\, the first Taller de Libre Expresión [Free Expression Workshop]\, the seed for a whole range of other\, parallel activities\, among them an experimental school in Elorrio\, in Bizkaia province in the Basque Country. From the mid-seventies onwards\, she resumed her visual work\, with retouched photographs\, installations\, paintings based on a series of first names and on the number pi\, objects and so on. \nIn the course of her long career as a performance artist\, she has taken part in festivals in Spain\, Germany\, Italy\, Switzerland\, Belgium\, France\, Denmark\, Norway\, Britain\, the Netherlands\, Poland\, Slovakia\, the Czech Republic\, Hungary\, Bulgaria\, the United States\, Canada\, Mexico\, Cuba\, Brazil\, Thailand\, Japan\, Korea and Palestine\, among others. \nShe has exhibited her visual work at: Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid)\, Galerie J. & J. Donguy (Paris)\, Galerie Lara Vincy (Paris)\, Galerie Satellite (Paris)\, Galería Trayecto (Vitoria)\, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart\, Koldo Mitxelena (San Sebastián)\, Galeria Àngels (Barcelona)\, Galeria Trinta (Santiago de Compostela)\, Galería 1 Mira Madrid\, Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (Seville)\, Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art (Denmark)\, Círculo de Bellas Artes (Madrid)\, MOCARoma (Mexico City)\, Museo de Bellas Artes (Rio de Janeiro)\, ARTIUM (Vitoria)\, Es Baluard (Palma)\, Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (A Coruña)\, MAC/VAL (Vitry-sur-Seine\, France)\, CEART (Fuenlabrada)\, Museo Guggenheim Bilbao and Centre nacional de la danse (Lyon)\, among others. \nShe has taught numerous courses at universities\, museums and schools of fine art in Canada\, France\, Italy\, Mexico and Switzerland\, as well as Spain. \nIn 1999 she was one of the two artists who represented Spain at the Venice Biennale. \nShe has won accolades including: Trace: John Boehme Performance Art – Lifetime Achievement Award (2006); the Spanish National Visual Arts Prize (2008); the Basque government’s Gure Artea prize (2012); the MAV prize\, the Women in Visual Arts prize (2014); the Marie Claire contemporary art prize (2014); the Velázquez prize (2014); the Golden Drum of the City of Donostia/San Sebastián (2022); the Bernard Heidsieck prize from the Centre Georges Pompidou (2022); and the Francisco Prieto prize from the FNMT\, the Spanish national mint (2024). \n  \n[Inauguration of the rue Marcel Duchamp in Paris\, 1995.

SUMMARY:Antoni Llena: Smokey Memories
DESCRIPTION:The publishers L’Avenç and Blume are pleased to jointly present the publication Antoni Llena. Memòries de fum [Antoni Llena: Smokey Memories]\, on the terrace of the Museu Tàpies. \nIn this book\, Antoni Llena seeks to explain artistic consciousness on the basis of defects and fears\, in a fresco that unfolds like a mural charged with contradictions. He begins by sketching out his family context\, how he met the person who would be his first partner\, a person he still lives with\, and enduring friendship. It continues by explaining the unique way Llena discovered art\, and his choice to live in the world at a distance\, searching for modernity through anachronisms. His decision to live in the world from outside the world. His discovery of art\, his interests and his ambitions. His own particular way of doing things\, and the roots that have made it grow. His struggles to find a place of his own that was radical\, without it being detached from tradition. The artistic personalities who have shaped it\, along with the works he has created and others that have influenced him. The path he has taken\, without having to lay out a set of markers along the way to get there. Eroticism\, loves and phobia\, and so much more. Understanding art as a political reality set apart from trendy political choices. Then\, all told\, his efforts to ensure it is all well written. \nThis presentation features the presence of the author\, Antoni Llena\, the philosopher Xavier Antich and the publishers Leopoldo Blume and Josep M. Muñoz. \n \n  \nFoto: Antoni Bernad

SUMMARY:A Hatch in the Void
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIf a work of art fails to harness the magic in things themselves\, if it uses objects only to make them mean something\, it has wasted one of its greatest possibilities. When we take an object and make it mean something\, what we are doing is confirming ourselves. We are confirming our own concepts of who we are and what the world is. But allowing things to be seen as what they are offers a more open and fertile ground. After all\, the unknown is pure adventure. \nAs part of the exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World\, the Museu Tàpies has invited Marc Caellas to perform four activations of the exhibition room to give a new life and a new dimension to the materials presented in it\, with the aim of rethinking them. \n  \nActivations \n  \n25.03.2025 – The Background of Things.  \nMarc Caellas\, born in Barcelona\, is an artist who works with writing\, theatre\, performance and curation in hybrid projects that develop into books\, plays\, installations or public programmes and festivals. \nHis two most recently published books are Notas de suicidio (La Uña Rota\, 2022) and Dos hombres que caminan (Ediciones Menguantes\, 2022)\, the latter written in collaboration with Esteban Feune de Colombi. His previous works include Carcelona (Melusina\, 2011)\, Caracaos (Melusina\, 2015)\, Drogotá (Planeta\, 2017)\, Neuros Aires (Libros del Zorzal\, 2020) and Teatro del bueno (Teatron.Tinta\, 2015). \nHe has participated in numerous national and international literature and performing arts festivals\, including: Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogotá\, Festival de Palco e Rúa de Belo Horizonte (Brazil)\, Bienal do Livro de São Paulo\, FILBA (Buenos Aires)\, Festival Estival (San Martín de los Andes\, Argentina)\, FIT de Cádiz\, TNT Festival (Terrassa)\, IDEM Casa Encendida Festival (Madrid)\, Escenas do Cambio Festival (Santiago de Compostela)\, Kosmopolis Festival at CCCB (Barcelona)\, Festival de las Ideas (Madrid)\, Cuéntalo Festival (Logroño)\, Nus Festival (Barcelona)\, Open Heart Festival (Lanzarote)\, Meet You (Valladolid) and WIM (Frías\, Burgos)\, among others. \nHe was resident artist at the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque (Madrid)\, Tokyo Arts and Space\, Nau Côclea (Saus\, Girona) and Can Timoner (Mallorca). \nHe has twice been awarded the Ministry of Culture’s grants for literary creation\, received Iberescena grants for theatrical co-production and was a finalist for the BBVA Award for the best play with Suicide Notes. \nHe has taught courses on creative writing\, theatre creation and new dramaturgy at the Museo Universitario del Chopo\, Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque\, University of Barcelona\, Universidad Central de Venezuela\, Universidad de los Andes and Universidad del Atlántico. \n  \n01.07.2025 – Offering to the Earth \nIn July the Earth is thirsty. It needs feeding. Offering to the Earth is a ritual of Andean origin based on reciprocity. The gods are thanked for the produce received and presented with an offering to satisfy their hunger and thirst. \nInvited by Marc Caellas\, conservationist and activist for Amazonia\, Magdalena Ruiz\, will conduct a ritual of gratitude. This event—the second in the series A Hatch in the Void\, conceived by Caellas as part of the exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World—aims to question and broaden the traditional reading of the exhibition by creating spaces where the works are counterposed with contemporary thought and opened up to a range of interpretations.

SUMMARY:Muérdago
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Museu Tàpies has invited Adelaida to dialogue with the creative universe of Marta Palau\, in a concert conceived to show how the singer and artist share ritualistic aspects that connect the body with nature and ancestral memory. Through organic sonorities and all-encompassing atmospheres\, Muérdago [Mistletoe] evokes transitional\, transformational space\, similar to the symbolic territories that Palau creates with primal materials like wood\, earth or botanical fibres. The creations of both artists appeal to sensorial and mystical experience\, where matter and gesture become channels for a deep-set connection with both the sacred and the earthly. \nAdelaida lives and works on the full moon. A mermaid of heaven and hell\, she lifts her voice in an incantation. Born and raised in Barcelona\, she has a degree in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins\, which enlivens the performative nature of her endeavour. Her classical voice training at the Orfeó Català is patent in her innovative\, personal compositional language\, with which she explores the limits of the voice and its expressive and ritualistic potential. On stage\, she transforms into the phoenix\, then from phoenix into songster\, from songster to sea nymph\, and so on. \nThis Catalan singer-songwriter and producer has recently released her second album\, Muérdago. The recording poses many questions and provides few answers. Infinite\, delicate mantras of sound distinguish this ASMR labyrinth\, bursting with lamentations and wounded desires. It features everything from choral ambiences to darker\, baroque electronics\, with her voice always front and centre. The album features the collaboration of Catalan producers MANS O and Pura Cadera\, and was mixed by Rashad Becker. The live presentation took place at Sonar 2024\, with a hypnotic\, moody performance\, and since then Adelaida has been touring in Europe and\, more recently\, in Mexico. \nAdelaida made her debut with Cántaro [Jug]\, an album of endless vocal layers done with LANAV\, and released in September 2022. It was featured in Primavera Sound in 2022 and 2023\, Eufònic 2022 at the Fundació Joan Miró\, the Festival BAM 2023 and She Makes Noise 2023\, amongst many other performances. \n  \n© Bo Bannink

SUMMARY:Llorenç Barber. L’espai alliberat [Liberated Space]
DESCRIPTION:Extramurs is an artistic project by the Museu Tàpies that conceives the city as a space of intervention and mediation. With a pluralistic\, multidisciplinary approach\, the project encourages inter-institutional dialogue\, along with dialogue with public space and the environment. Featuring the ongoing collaboration of EINA Centre Universitari de Disseny i Art de Barcelona and the Festival Grec\, Extramurs contributes to a rethinking of the role of the institution from a more holistic perspective\, through interventions and activities that respond to contemporary demands\, encouraging new community narratives in urban space. Inspired by concepts of situated knowledge\, this spirit advances reflection on how we mediate our surroundings\, and how we might inhabit the world in a more conscious\, integrating way. At the same time\, the gesture of considering the walls of public space as the carriers of residents’ voices\, spaces where collective discourses are materialised and where shared experiences find new meanings\, connects us directly with the thought of Tàpies. \nHeld annually\, each edition of Extramurs is presented in the public space\, coinciding with the Festival Grec. For the 2025 edition\, the artist Elena del Rivero has been invited to develop the project Transiting La Quema\, curated by Mateo Feijóo. The proposal is grounded in an intense process of collaborative research and production on the topic of the burning of the artist’s first works\, performed as a cleansing gesture. \nThe installations conceived by Del Rivero as part of the Extramurs project\, in collaboration with students from EINA Centre Universitari de Disseny i Art de Barcelona\, will be shown on the façade and interior of the Museu Tàpies\, as well as at Basílica Santa Maria del Pi\, Centre d’Art La Capella\, the Teatre Grec gardens\, Galeria Senda and Loop Barcelona. The exhibition includes photographs\, collages\, objects and an illuminated sign. The cartography of these intervened spaces invites us to reflect on the resilience of human and social structures\, as well as on the dialogue between past and present\, accentuating the tensions and continuities that define history in the construction of the contemporary city. \nThe inaugural event of La Quema takes place at the Rubió i Lluch Gardens with the concert L’espai alliberat\, by Llorenç Barber\, a musician\, composer\, musicologist\, bell-ringer and pioneer of sound art in Europe. This visual and sound artist\, recognised for introducing minimalist music to Spain\, has created a portable set of bells used for the development of his own performance technique. Barber’s bell concerts have been held in over two hundred cities in twenty different countries. He has done concerts for the closing ceremonies of three cultural capital years (Lisbon\, Copenhagen and Stockholm)\, and his performances have featured at biennial exhibitions and art fairs in Japan\, France\, Thailand and Brazil\, while inaugurating two separate Heads of State and Government Meetings (in Salamanca and Rome). \nThe sound of bells brings us to the world of Elena del Rivero\, an international artist committed to the exploration of reparation and memory. We invite you to reflect with us on the resilience of human and social structures and on the dialogue between past and present\, accentuating the tensions and continuities that define history in the construction of the contemporary city. \n  \nWith the collaboration of students from Conservatori Municipal de Música de Barcelona\, Fundació Conservatori del Liceu\, Escola de Música l’Antàrtida de Barcelona\, Escola Municipal de les Arts de Santa Perpètua de la Mogoda and the musical band La Valenciana\, and the support of ESMUC. \n  \nA coproduction of the Festival Grec de Barcelona 2025 and the Museu Tàpies \n  \nExtramurs is an initiative of the Museu Tàpies with the collaboration of EINA Centre Universitari de Disseny i Art de Barcelona and festival Grec\, with the complicity of Centre d’Art La Capella\, Basílica Santa Maria del Pi\, Galeria Senda and Loop Barcelona. \nArtist: Elena del Rivero \nCurator: Mateo Feijóo \nThe realization of Elena del Rivero – La Quema\, at Galicia\, promoted by A Casa do Pozo\, had the support of: AECID and Fundación Cañada Blanch

SUMMARY:Thirteen Over Zero. Ritual-action-performance
DESCRIPTION:Tattoo the sacred numbers of the Maya civilisation (13 and 0) on the upper right side of the chest. Thirteen is the number with the highest energy; zero (0) was used by the Maya long before the Western world used Arabic numerals. Zero is absence\, emptiness\, nothingness; zero is silence\, expanding and stretching the eternity of the Maya civilisation. \nIn the Maya Cholqi’ij calendar\, cycles are made up of 13 weeks and 20 days. It is a sacred calendar with 260 days (13 x 20 = 260). In Maya numerical symbolism\, the number 13 is represented by drawing two sticks and three dots. Then a space is left underneath and a conch shell\, symbolising zero\, is drawn. This creates the number 260\, like the 260 days of the Maya calendar\, an ancestrally sacred number. Western modernity ignores\, secularises\, even demonises the number 13; for the Maya\, it is sacred. Zero is totality\, the beginning and the end; it symbolises the agricultural cycle and is represented by a conch shell. \nThe ritual-action-performance Thirteen Over Zero involves tattooing the sacred numbers 13 and 0 on Benvenuto Chavajay’s body. It is about dusting off history and activating memory\, countless stories\, wounds and accumulated legacies. Through this gesture\, the Guatemalan artist activates ancestral memory to take a step forward\, to heal and embrace all the wounds and legacies. It is about giving history a second chance. \nChavajay offers his skin as a sacrifice and an offering to his ancestors. He wounds his body\, opens cracks in it\, dropping in tiny black drops and creating lumps and grooves of memory. Scarring\, coagulation\, blood and charcoal\, pain and tattooing. \n  \nBenvenuto Chavajay (San Pedro La Laguna\, Atitlán Lake\, Guatemala) defines himself as a chunchero artist\, that is\, an observer and intervener of chunches\, a term that in Tz’utujil—the artist’s mother tongue—designates discarded objects that have lost their use value. His aim is to identify\, ratify and dignify symbolic elements that are part of the history and ancestral knowledge of Maya culture\, which he has inherited. In this interview\, Chavajay uses his works in the Museo Reina Sofía Collection as a reference to explain how art can be a healing rite in response to the colonial wound. Based on this premise and far removed from the logics of modern Western thinking\, in his project El retorno de las almas [The Return of the Souls] the artist embodies the dignification of the indigenous cultures that have been erased from history. \nA session of  the second edition of the series The Chairs of Tàpies

SUMMARY:Opening of the exhibition 'André du Colombier.  A Lyrical Point of View'
DESCRIPTION:The Museu Tàpies invites you to the opening of the exhibition ‘André du Colombier. A Lyrical Point of View’\, curated by Adam Szymczyk \nAndré Paliard Iscu was born in 1952 in Barcelona. In the early 1970s\, he studied literature and philosophy in Paris. He chose to change his name to du Colombier (“of the dovecote”)\, decided to become an artist and held his first individual exhibition\, entitled Modestie\, Compétence\, et Efficacité (Modesty\, Competence and Efficiency) at the Galerie Eric Fabre in Paris in 1977. He died in Paris in 2003. \nHis earliest surviving work is a vertical silver line: a trace of pencil lead on a sheet of black sandpaper. As if left when sharpening a writer’s tool\, it is an anti-drawing against the grain. Other early works are sequences of black-and-white photographs documenting dynamic actions with household utensils\, or\, by contrast\, static and exposed objects\, defamiliarised under clinical white light. \nStandard-sized sheets of reflective Chromolux paper in various colours became over time the artist’s medium of choice\, used as a backdrop for handwritten or Letraset texts: odd words\, equivocal phrases and cryptic\, coded sentences. Another genre in du Colombier’s practice was his mise-en-scènes. Composed of toys\, tourist souvenirs and accessories arranged and performed on café tables or in other casual situations\, these were often staged for an invited audience of one and never documented. \nThe exhibition’s titular phrase ‘lyrical point of view’ is a title of the text accompanying du Colombier’s show at Patricia Dorfmann’s gallery in Paris in 1999. It captures the position of an artist whose elusive oeuvre keeps confronting us\, free and equal\, with the ever-evolving work of interpretation. \n  \nAndré du Colombier\, Untitled [Flour and Hot Water Bottle]\, n.d. 1977

SUMMARY:Visit of the curator to the exhibition "Anna Malagrida. Opacities. Veiling transparency"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the programming of Barcelona Gallery Weekend\, the Museu Tàpies invites us to a guided visit through the exhibition by Anna Malagrida. Opacitas: Veiling Transparency\, accompanied by Patricia Sorroche\, head of exhibitions at the museum and the show’s curator. Malagrida is represented by Galeria Senda. During the visit we will learn about the artist’s creative process and discover the conceptual reflections and concerns that have shaped her work. \nThis exhibition is centred on the notion of transparency as contemporary fiction\, proposing a critical perspective on the limits between what is visible and what is hidden\, between what is shown and what is veiled. Working alternatively in photography\, video and installation art\, Malagrida calls on us to reflect on urban space\, nature and everyday gestures as scenarios of opacity and resistance.

SUMMARY:Following the Sun: Guillem Jiménez / laSADCUM
DESCRIPTION:Oliver 04 \nThis body essay is the staging of an investigation into digi-modernist poetics. It functions as a compilation of various gestural investigations that stem from the world Guillem Jiménez\, choreographer and dancer from Barcelona\, seeks to build through his company\, laSADCUM. A portal to a fantasy world that takes certain bodily behaviours cultivated by capitalism and cyberspace to the extreme.  \nThrough the use of satire\, Jiménez proposes a character governed by the logics of pop magic\, interns\, techno-feudalism and a series of online and offline cultural conventions. Oliver is a kind of alter ego\, not only of Jiménez\, but of a whole system of bodies subject to the authorities that operate in the interstices of digital algorithms. \n  \nGuillem Jiménez / laSADCUM \nlaSADCUM is a Barcelona-based dance company led by choreographer Guillem Jiménez that\, through the lens of dance and choreography\, addresses certain poetics of the post-internet era. \nlaSADCUM have produced four performance pieces so far: two small-scale pieces (The Uncanny Valley\, 2019\, and The Lesson\, 2020) and two large-scale pieces (Aclucalls\, 2022\, and Navaja\, 2024). They have also carried out two exhibitions (Classmates\, 2020\, and Twink Twink Twink\, 2022)\, workshops and curatorial programmes\, as well as various collaborations with artists and institutions. They have received various awards\, including the ActAward 2021 for best dance piece (The Lesson)\, 10 Sentidos 2021 for best dance piece (The Lesson)\, DansaCat 2024 for best music (Aclucalls)\, DansaCat 2024 for best choreography (Aclucalls)\, DansaCat 2024 for best show (Navaja) and Pedra Viva 2024 (Navaja). \nlaSADCUM’s work has been presented at venues such as the CCCB\, Teatros del Canal\, Festival Dansa València\, La Casa Encendida\, the Museo Guggenheim Bilbao\, Dansa Metropolitana\, Tanečno Festival\, Teatro Réplika\, Sala Apolo\, Pluto and La Mutant\, among others. \nGuillem Jiménez\, on the other hand\, works as a performer (with Pedro Torres\, Amaranta Velarde\, Mar Aguiló and Benjamin Abel\, among others) and as assistant choreographer and movement director (with Meritxell de Soto\, Marina Fueyo and Gabriela Richardson\, among others). This year he will premiere Duplex Studio (2025)\, a piece co-created alongside choreographer Luqui Lagomarsino\, at Antic Teatre as part of the Grec Festival. \n  \nA session within the framework of the 2nd edition of the “Following the Sun 2025” cycle\, curated by Gabriel Virgilio Luciani. \n  \n[Photo: Guillem Jiménez en Duplex Studio\, @gergelyofner ] \n

SUMMARY:Following the Sun. Sejal Parekh
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhat Did You Say \nWhat Did you Say is a sociological and sonic inquiry into the distortion of meaning and fact caused by deliberate or non-deliberate miscommunication or misunderstanding. Activated by the Indian-British artist Sejal Parekh\, the performance—which functions more as a reckoning—confronts imperial mistranslations\, the deliberate deafness of power and the symbolic violence of asking someone to repeat themselves in a language not their own.  \nThe dynamic dialogues with several non-verbal communication phenomena\, such as: the Sufi zikr\, where breath carries meaning beyond the rational; Vedic chant\, whose potency lies in vibrational memory; or Ashanti drum language\, where rhythm speaks what cannot be said. Furthermore\, the piece proposes a participative action\, a take on a children’s game previously referred to in the United Kingdom as Chinese Whispers. The Sinophobic origins of the game’s title dialogues with other cultural bullyings and otherings\, such as the Greek barbarian\, with an onomatopoeic etymology mocking the sounds of those who did not speak Greek. \nTàpies’ Mitjó [Sock] will be activated as a listening device or witness through sounds of whispers and semiotics\, which the audience should attempt to decipher by navigating the space around the sculpture. In the words of the artist: “What happens when whispers are given form\, volume and permanence?” The corporeal gesture of collectively leaning in\, attempting to understand\, actively listening and accepting the sacred discomfort of not understanding\, are the core elements of this spatial choreography. \n  \nSejal Parekh is a cross-disciplinary artist. Through site-specific installations\, video and sound work\, she excavates the intricate topologies of hiraeth\, a Welsh diasporic condition that transcends mere nostalgia\, articulating instead a radical reimagining of spatial and cultural inhabitation. \nEmerging from an intricate understanding of parallel world systems\, where cultural dynamics are not merely observed but performatively dismantled\, Parekh’s aesthetic strategy constitutes a fundamental archaeology of gesture. She recuperates and transforms objects\, motifs and performative actions that were historically deployed to marginalise and stratify\, transmuting them into nuanced instruments of critical refusal. \nSejal has an MA in Sculpture from Royal College Art\, London. Her work has been shown at MACBA\, Somerset House\, Hope93\, Ovada Gallery\, SWAB Art Fair\, Art Meets Apolo with Galería Senda and Stone Space Gallery. She has upcoming exhibitions at Barbati Gallery Venice\, VHC Gallery India and the Souvenir for Loop Video Art Festival 2025. \n  \nA session within the framework of the 2nd edition of the “Following the Sun 2025” cycle\, curated by Gabriel Virgilio Luciani.

SUMMARY:Joan Morey. Double Event
DESCRIPTION:In 2004\, as part of an artistic project\, Joan Morey tattooed “DECEPTION” on his left forearm. The choice of this word was not arbitrary\, since it carries a semantic ambiguity\, multiple layers of interpretation and a high potential for misunderstanding. Far from considering it a closed statement\, he used it to highlight one of the structural conditions of art: its artificial\, fictional and even tricky character\, but\, at the same time\, its capacity to convey complex forms of truth. \nTwenty years later\, that inscription on the skin can be read as the symbolic beginning of an artistic journey based on ambiguity\, plurality and openness. Far from seeking conclusive forms or a univocal language\, Joan Morey has developed his work from unstable and\, at times\, contradictory positions. It is precisely in this oscillation where his power resides: in his ability to accommodate other voices\, embody other bodies and channel demands—both his own and collectively—that critically question the present. \nThe performance DOUBLE EVENT (in progress since 2004) fits into this context\, developed not as a finite work\, but rather as a machine or an open production mechanism. Its title refers to the double event theatrical technique\, which describes the simultaneous coexistence of two perceptive levels on stage: on the one hand\, the fictional event\, and on the other\, the conscious recognition of the stage device. The performance therefore works as a system of transference and displacement\, a kind of musical chairs\, with witnesses and mirrors that challenge the notion of authorship and unitary presence and where body\, time and gaze come into constant friction. \n  \nWith the special collaboration of: Sílvia Arenas\, Sònia Gómez and Ester Guntín. \n  \nJoan Morey (Mallorca\, 1972) holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. Since the late 1990s\, his artistic practice has included performances\, videos and installations\, as well as sound and graphic works\, exploring the intersection between theatre\, cinema\, philosophy\, sexuality and subjectivity. His work is characterised by a profound reflection on authority\, power and the dynamics of domination\, exploitation and inequality present throughout the history of humanity.  \nHe has presented performances\, works and site-specific interventions in many museums\, art centres and galleries. His retrospective solo exhibitions include COLLAPSE. Desiring Machine\, Working Machine\, curated by Latitudes at the Contemporary Art Centre of Barcelona – Fabra i Coats (Barcelona\, 2018); COLAPSO. Máquina de representación [COLLAPSE. Representation Machine]\, curated by Alex Brahin\, at the Claustro de San Agustín – Museo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá\, 2019–2020) and COLLAPSE. Bachelor Machine\, curated by Latitudes\, at Casal Solleric (Palma de Mallorca\, 2020). \n  \nActivity within the framework of the second edition of The Tàpies Chairs series\, coordinated by Judith Barnés.

SUMMARY:Conference I\, You\, World: Symbol and Universe
DESCRIPTION:Following on from the success of the first edition of the I\, You\, World: Symbol and Universe study days\, held last year as part of the programme marking the centenary of the artist’s birth\, the Museu Tàpies now presents the second and final edition of these study days. The aim is to delve into one of the most complex and essential aspects of Antoni Tàpies’ work: his ability to create a symbolic language that transcends material form and enters a realm that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. \nBy bringing together art theorists\, poets and image specialists\, those sessions spurred the development of fresh insights and multivoiced readings of Tàpies’ Sèrie Teresa [Teresa’s Series] (1966) and Cartes per a la Teresa [Letters to Teresa] (1974)\, two key works for understanding the dialogue between art\, writing and existence in his career. \nTàpies’ oeuvre can be seen as a living essay that shapes a symbolic universe in which poetic vision and material form are in constant interplay. The focus on his Cartes per a la Teresa portfolio and Sèrie Teresa series brought to light the dialectic between sign and gesture\, word and space\, and the intersection of private life with the public construction of an artwork. This body of images and texts embodies an idea of art not merely limited to representation\, but as an open process of exploration and symbolic creation\, where each work becomes both meditation and communication extending beyond the artist himself. \nThe exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World\, currently on view at the Museu Tàpies\, presents a selection of twelve works from Cartes per a la Teresa. Building on research shared in these study days\, the show offers visitors a rare opportunity to explore the intersection of love letters\, collage and lithography\, expressed through a language that fuses cosmic gestures with the intimacy of the everyday. This ensemble reflects Tàpies’ gift for decoding and reconstructing shared life experiences\, transforming them into spaces rich in meaning and open to multiple interpretations. \nIn this spirit\, the I\, You\, World: Symbol and Universe study days reaffirm the Museu Tàpies’ commitment to placing the artist’s work within an interdisciplinary framework that allows it to be understood as a meeting point of personal history\, symbolic vision\, politics and aesthetic reflection. This broader perspective reveals how Tàpies’ art transcends its historical and cultural origins to become a universal expression in which the relationship between sign and world expands into the creation of a new universe. \n  \nPROGRAMME \n  \nSESSION 1 \nDate: 30 September 2025 \n6 pm.

SUMMARY:Museu Habitat: II International Meeting Countering Abysses. Poetics of Scale 2025
DESCRIPTION:With two years of experience\, the Museu Habitat program has opened several spaces for reflection\, exchange\, production and experimentation around the history and current affairs of the museum institution. The Museu Habitat has been built as a protean organism that seeks to bring together different types of communities and generate non-consensual spaces. The task of mobilizing meetings and actions has been carried out by a diverse team of artists\, curators\, activists and managers\, which includes the research and mediation collectives Entrar Afuera\, IDRA and Transductores. \nThe set of initiatives deployed has been complemented by two meetings and an exhibition. The first meeting\, “Which museum?”\, held in May 2024\, started from a question that represents the germ of the program: which museum is possible and desirable today? And in 50 years? The second\, “Turning spells”\, stated that today it is no longer possible to reflect on the institution exclusively from its own foundations\, be they physical or conceptual. Thinking and acting only from what happens within this normative building leads to inevitable sensory and epistemological frustration. For its part\, through more than 120 works\, the exhibition “Fabular paisatges” reflected on how exhibition devices are constructed\, which stories are privileged and which stories are silenced. In line with these two meetings and taking into account the polarization that Fabular paisatges aroused\, the Habitat Museum opens a new moment of synthesis and possible reformulations based on the seminar “Contrariar abisms. Poetics of scale”. \nIn December 2024\, an assembly was held at the CAP Gornal\, organized by the Entrar Afuera collective and mediated by Ràdio Nikosia\, in which social and institutional agents converged. In this assembly\, the notion of vertigo was taken as a clinical space\, of personal experience and institutional challenge\, from which to rethink roles and provoke experiences. In this sense\, the general impotence that we all feel in the face of war\, inequality\, racism\, gender violence and the devastation of nature\, seems to lead us irremediably into the abyss\, but at the same time it calls us\, definitively\, to resistance. This is posed as an urgent need. \nIn this context\, the Habitat Museum proposes a dynamic of work on multiple scales\, ranging from micro to macro and vice versa\, and which delves into the interstices\, into undefined options\, that is\, into what is located between gesture and action\, between the personal and the social\, between discourse and affections. \n“Contrariar abismes. Poetics of scale” unfolds from three conceptual axes: exhibiting\, narrating\, fable-making. Exhibiting and narrating are two of the intrinsic tasks of the museum and both work in constant interaction. The decisions about what and how is exhibited construct a story that can and must be questioned permanently. In turn\, fable-making is thought of here as a way of imagining other forms of narrating\, but also as an exercise in confrontation with what has been fabled. \nIn this sense\, the meeting seeks to resume and open up questions\, contradictions and proposals with the aim of generating escape routes that can give rise to the necessary transformative movements and the construction of other spaces and ways of doing things. \n  \nDownload the programme.

SUMMARY:New vinyl of the series Tàpies’ Chairs 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Museu Tàpies presents the vinyl curated from the first edition of the series Tàpies’ Chairs\, a collection of sound actions that took place as part of Tàpies Year. The first edition of this multidisciplinary series\, brought together proposals by artists who worked with voice\, spoken word and oral memory\, using the Tàpies universe as a starting point for performative experimentation. \nActions\, developed as part of the centenary of the artist’s birth\, were created specifically for the museum and displayed diverse languages\, ranging from music to text and gesture to sound\, from unique perspectives. The first edition of the Tàpies’ Chairs series included the participation of MUOM\, Félix Denuit\, Biel Mesquida\, Itziar Okáriz\, Cabosanroque\, Joana Gomila\, Bartolomé Ferrando\, Blanca Llum Vidal and Los Sara Fontán\, Hugo Gómez-Chao Porta\, Amidea Clotet (Cicle Difraccions)\, Eduard Escoffet\, Mal Pelo and Niño de Elche. \nThe publication of this record responds to the desire to give continuity and permanence to a project designed to be experienced live. Capturing part of it on a physical medium such as vinyl\, allows you to listen from a more intimate place\, while prolonging the evocative power of the sound performances. By doing this\, the Museu Tàpies reaffirms the value of listening and the sound archive\, as active forms of transmitting artistic memory. \nAs part of the presentation\, there will be an audition of the vinyl and the presence of some of the guest artists. In addition\, anyone who wants to purchase the vinyl on this occasion will enjoy a special price of 25 euros (the official price is 30 euros). \nWithin the framework of Càtedra Antoni Tàpies – UPF d’Art i Pensament Contemporanis. \n

SUMMARY:Rhythm and Substances
DESCRIPTION:As part of the exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World\, the Museu Tàpies presents the third activation in the cycle A Hatch in the Void\, a series of events conceived by writer Marc Caellas to activate the materials presented in the exhibition\, highlighting the epochal spirit in which we find ourselves. \nThis time\, Caellas invites guitarist and improviser Juanma Trujillo to share a poetry and music recital that revisits the spirit of the historic evenings of the Club 49\, a group of artists and intellectuals who\, in the forties and fifties\, renewed the cultural scene in Barcelona with talks\, recitals and avant-garde actions. \nThe duet will recall essential voices of 20th-century poetry\, such as Carlos Edmundo de Ory\, Joan Perucho\, J. V. Foix and Juan Eduardo Cirlot\, establishing a living dialogue between word and sound. Reading and music will make up a shared space for discovery and experimentation\, true to the transgressive spirit that characterised the Club 49 and to the way Antoni Tàpies saw art: as a constant questioning and as a window on the world. \nThis event offers the audience an intimate\, immersive experience\, one that invites listening in a different way\, letting oneself be surprised and inhabiting a space where poetry and music not only meet\, but enrich one another.

SUMMARY:Opening of the exhibition: Germaine Dulac. Je n’ai plus rien
DESCRIPTION:Opening of the exhibition Germaine Dulac. Je n’ai plus rien\, curated by Imma Prieto\, director of the Museu Tàpies\, and Imma Merino\, film critic and university professor. The event will take place on Thursday\, October 16\, 2025\, at 7:00 p.m.\, at the Museu Tàpies (Carrer de Aragó\, 255\, Barcelona). \nGermaine Dulac. Je n’ai plus rien is the first monographic exhibition dedicated to Germaine Dulac (Amiens\, 1882 – Paris\, 1942) in the catalan and spanish context. The exhibition is based on a selection of films\, texts\, and archival materials—some previously unpublished—that allow us to explore the complexity of the cinematographic work of this prominent filmmaker and theorist of the avant-garde art. It also introduces the viewer to French cinematic impressionism\, close to a certain narrative cinema\, and facilitates the analysis of the critical tensions toward the heteropatriarchal hierarchies of her time\, as well as experimental and documentary cinema from the end of her career. \nThe exhibition revisits more than thirty years of her career and offers a rigorous reflection on cinema\, image\, and the vindication of the female figure. It also reminds us of the eternal return of history and constitutes a denunciation of the rise of nationalism and the far right. \nThe retrospective expands with a film programme at the Filmoteca de Catalunya (from October 1 to November 23) and with the publication of the book Germaine Dulac. ¿Qué es el cine? (Wunderkammer / Museu Tàpies\, 2025)\, which brings together\, for the first time in Spanish\, the filmmaker’s writings and lectures. \nAdmission to the general opening is free and requires no prior reservation.

SUMMARY:Venus Jasper: Weeping Swamp
DESCRIPTION:Multidisciplinary artist\, Venus Jasper\, weaves together a new live performance stemming from their ongoing research Wetlands Worship; an exploration of swamp sentiments\, climate grief\, queerness and sacred ecologies. Born from speculative fiction modalities of storytelling and narrative deconstruction\, the sonic aspect of the performance includes many samples of water\, insects and metal\, paired with a noise machine and haunting vocals. This future-facing folklore speaks of a rotting\, turbulent sea and a journey to a mythic swamp-island where decay is sacred and rage has its rituals.  \nThe artist based in Amsterdam\, NL has received travel support from the Mondriaan Fund and will develop the piece during a week-long residency at Graner; an experimental movement and dance center in Barcelona where they will also spend time to investigating and queering the legacy of the Aloja and the Encantades—water spirits in Catalan folklore. \nVenus Jasper (they/he) is a queer visual artist\, singer-performer\, educator\, writer and curator – currently based in Amsterdam. In their counter-cultural and ritualistic work they envision spirited and sensuous post-capitalisms that spell the decolonization of the Anthropocene\, rekindle more-than-human kinship\, and forward (neuro)-queer and trans-historic perspectives on ecology\, folklore\, contemporary culture\, spirituality and the self. \nA session within the framework of the 2nd edition of the “Following the Sun 2025” cycle\, curated by Gabriel Virgilio Luciani.

SUMMARY:Book-Wall. Reading club 2025
DESCRIPTION:Within the framework of the exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World\, 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 made by the bookseller—will be related to themes present in the exhibition\, such as popular culture\, psychoanalysis and esoteric practices. \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\, July 15\, 2025\, 6.30 pm\, at Museu Tàpies: La intrusa\, by Irene Pujadas (L’Altra Editorial) with Olga Federico and Mireia Perelló\, from the La Impossible bookshop\, and the writer. \n· Tuesday\, September 16\, 2025\, at the Museu Tàpies: Gossos dempeus\, by Eduard Olesti (Club Editor)\, with Cèlia Esteva\, from La Central bookstore. \n· Attention\, change of date: Due to the strike called for October 15\, the third session will be held on Tuesday\, October 28\, 2025\, at 6:30 p.m.\, in the Museu Tâpies Library: we will discuss the work entitled “El setè cavall”\, by Leonora Carrington (Extinció Edicions)\, with Àurea Perelló\, from the Finestres. bookstore. \n[Image: Antoni Tàpies.

SUMMARY:Maladruà\, with Estel Boada and Xavier Michel
DESCRIPTION:“Maladruà” is “maladroit.” It means “clumsy” in French. However\, the interpretation of languages ​​and codes from different regions always plays a clumsy role when it comes to establishing immediate connections. \nEstel Boada (Catalonia)\, singer and multidisciplinary artist\, together with Xavier Michel (France)\, poetic performer of the absurd\, will introduce us to the universe of André du Colombier through a perspective filled with humor\, linguistic play\, and experimentation with space. \nThe Maladruà activity is part of the RELÉ program of the ARTefACTe5 conference\, a CLUB9 project promoting contemporary French performance. With the support of Espai nyamnyam. \n  \nXavier Michel (Poitiers\, 1990) holds a degree in Systems Engineering and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Villa Arson in Nice. For several years\, he has developed a performative work in which he manipulates tool-sculptures in absurd and poetic productions. His practice draws on object theater\, circus\, dance\, and music\, giving rise to a polysemic and sensitive language. In recent months\, he has been working in Barcelona\, ​​where his work finds resonance and a certain affinity with the local art scene. He is currently in residency at Hangar-org. \nEstel Boada (Barcelona\, ​​1991)\, singer and multidisciplinary artist\, defines herself as a contextual juggler. With a background in Fine Arts\, she explores space\, community\, and voice through performance. Her work\, marked by humor and absurdity with touches of fantasy\, burlesquely reflects on her life as a “frustrated diva.” Interested in experimental education\, contextual art\, sound\, music\, and drawing\, she uses action and humor as tools of critique. She has participated in numerous interdisciplinary art interventions and curated self-organized contemporary art series. She is also a composer and vocalist for various musical projects. \n  \nAndré du Colombier. A Lyrical Point of View. Installation view. Photo: Eva Guillamet

SUMMARY:Leo Castro. Over half way
DESCRIPTION:“I always carry memory with me for a long time\, in body and in thought\, in any process of constructing a poetics or a fiction\, which then end up being shared with lots of other strangers . . . Imagined landscapes\, decisive conversations\, those that are left halfway or unfinished because the thread leads somewhere else\, the visual or drawn elements\, I sketch them out. I talk about what’s left out but shapes the journey\, which is no less beautiful than all that is finally validated.” \nRevisiting thoughts and the body\, with the space as a landscape\, to recall the half of the way travelled so far. \nActivity within the framework of the second edition of the action cycle The Chairs of Tàpies\, led by Judith Barnés\, head of public programs at the Tàpies Museum. \n  \nLeo Castro is an artist\, performer and graduate in Philosophy from the University of Barcelona (1996).

SUMMARY:Segni mossi. PURPLE training
DESCRIPTION:Segni mossi is a research project created by Alessandro Lumare (visual artist) and Simona Lobefaro (choreographer) that focuses on the relationship between dance  – as a projection in space and the emergence of our emotional side – and drawing – as an extension of the body and action\, and as a means to trace the essence of experiences. \nIn this event\, Segni mossi is presenting its training PURPLE\, which is aimed at teachers\, artists\, educators and all those interested in art and education. The artists say that this training “tastes of bungee jumping\, light breeze\, and earthquake”. \n“We will be magnetic dances\, attractive colours. We will stretch movements\, release signs. We will bounce between tempera\, bodies\, and environments. We will be magma\, pumice\, lava. Invisible like the wind\, we will lift leaves\, trees\, and buildings. We will be traces in the storm”. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stretch and scatter. Workshop for families with Segni mossi
DESCRIPTION:Activity canceled \n  \n \nA workshop where bodies trace elastic trajectories and let themselves be carried by invisible forces. We’ll play with movements that stretch and return\, then we’ll be swept away by the wind that moves objects\, people and marks. An experience for families\, between tension\, lightness and sudden storms. \nSegni mossi is a research project created by Alessandro Lumare (visual artist) and Simona Lobefaro (choreographer) that focuses on the relationship between dance  – as a projection in space and the emergence of our emotional side – and drawing – as an extension of the body and action\, and as a means to trace the essence of experiences.
