SUMMARY:Where Is Political Art? Debate and presentation of the book Estética posfundacional
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe question of the political power of art runs through the 20th and 21st centuries. But where is political art today? What we are radically asking is “where” it is\, in all respects. What practices is it present in? What theories is it defined in? In what situations is it useful to us? \nThe multi-author publication Estética posfundacional [Post-Foundational Aesthetics] (Dykinson\, 2005) brings together a body of philosophical essays that seek to respond to these and other questions related to the notion of post-foundational aesthetics. In the wake of the ideas of Oliver Marchart\, who will be present at the event\, the contributing authors address issues such as anarchy\, dissent\, the curatorial function and artistic activism\, in an effort to comprehend art’s revolutionary power. As we understand that the political foundations of our societies are historical and material\, aesthetic reflection becomes essential in questioning the underlying violence of political systems\, while imagining alternatives. \nThe book presentation will feature the presence of various of the participating authors. \n  \nOliver Marchart is an Austrian political philosopher and sociologist who is internationally recognised for his research in social theory\, post-Marxism\, post-structuralism and social movements. His books have given rise to far-reaching debate in many fields\, as in the case of Post-Foundational Political Thought (Edinburgh University Press\, 2007) and Conflictual Aesthetics (Sternberg Press\, 2019)\, translated into Spanish by FCE and Ned Ediciones\, respectively. \n  \nLaura Llevadot is a Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Barcelona\, and lead researcher in the research group Post-Foundational Contemporary Thought. \n  \nJuan Evaristo Valls Boix is a writer and Professor of the Philosophy of Culture at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He has a PhD in Contemporary Philosophy and Literary Theory\, and is member of the research groups Post-Foundational Contemporary Thought and Estética Contemporánea. His research engages laziness and the rejection of work in late capitalism\, with special attention to the politics of affects and contemporary French philosophy. His publications include the essays Giorgio Agamben. Política sin obra (Gedisa\, 2020)\, Metafísica de la pereza (Ned Ediciones\, 2022)\, Suely Rolnik. Descolonizar el inconsciente (Herder\, 2024) and El derecho a las cosas bellas (Ariel\, 2025). \n  \nEster Jordana Lluch is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Zaragoza\, with undergraduate degrees in Psychology (2001) and Philosophy (2008)\, and a PhD in Philosophy with a thesis on Michel Foucault (Être autrement. El ser como transformación en Michel Foucault\, 2017). Her research is focused on the relations between politics\, aesthetics and contemporary critical thought. \n  \nXavier Bassas has a PhD in French Language and Philosophy from Paris-Sorbonne University and from the University of Barcelona\, where he is a professor in French Studies. He is a translator and editor of various works in French theory (Marion\, Derrida\, Rancière\, Malabou and others)\, and has recently written a monograph on Rancière (Ensayar la igualdad\, Gedisa) as well as a dialogue with him on the politics of language (El litigio de las palabras\, Ned Ediciones; in French\, Les Mots et les Torts\, La fabrique éditions). He is editor-in-chief of the book collection Pensamiento Atiempo for Casus Belli Ediciones. \n  \nAdrià Porta is a pre-doctoral researcher in the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Barcelona. He is currently writing a thesis that compares the concept of the void in the work of four thinkers in post-foundational political philosophy: Lefort\, Laclau\, Badiou and Rancière. \n  \nVirginia Trueba is Full Professor in the Faculty of Philology and Communication of the University of Barcelona (UB)\, where she teaches in the Hispanic Philology and Literary Studies degree programmes\, and in the master in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature. In recent years she has focused her research on the relationship between poetry and the arts in contemporary thought. She is co-editor of the journal Aurora\, dedicated to the ideas of María Zambrano\, and is member of the GLiCiArt (UB) research group on literature\, cinema and other artistic languages. \n

SUMMARY:Poetics of Irruption. Visits in Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The Museu Tàpies presents a series of visits in dialogue to explore the unique world of André du Colombier\, one of the most enigmatic and fascinating artists of his generation. The exhibition André du Colombier: A Lyrical Point of View\, curated by Adam Szymczyk\, unfolds an artistic practice where language is put into tension to the point of becoming visual material\, and words and signs take on their own\, almost physical properties. \nDu Colombier (Barcelona\, 1952 – Paris\, 2003) explored the frontiers of language with radical freedom. His artwork plays with repetition\, the contrast between capital and small letters\, the identity of commas and accents\, and the possibility for words to refer solely to themselves. The result is a body of work that questions linguistic structures and puts the very meaning of communication into crisis\, thus opening up space for the absurd\, silence\, music and poetry. \nWith this series\, the Museu Tàpies aims to relate the world of du Colombier to the perspectives of contemporary creators and thinkers. Each session brings together two invitees—from the visual arts\, literature and poetry—to share their subjective reading of du Colombier’s work and engage in dialogue with the public. These are not conventional guided visits\, but rather encounters where words and the gaze are activated in a shared and lively manner\, turning the exhibition into a collective and possibly transformative experience. \n  \nThe visits in dialogue will be guided by:  \n· Alicia Kopf i Raquel Santanera (4/11/25) \n· Míriam Cano i Oriol Vilanova (11/12/25) \n· Ignasi Aballí i Eduard Escoffet (14/01/26)

SUMMARY:Drawing Visit: "Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World" with Oriol Vilapuig
DESCRIPTION:With what specificities does drawing operate in the formation of an image? What happens if we shift the focus of attention from the drawing to the one who draws\, from the object to the action that produces it? Can we also interpret an image with our body? \nWe propose a visit in which drawing and\, by extension\, our body will lead us as a form of knowledge and connection. We will explore the work of Antoni Tàpies through the language of drawing\, as an original and specific gesture. An action that produces an image through a filter\, the body\, which is extremely complex\, fragile and sensitive. We will think of drawing as based on the bodily movements that produce friction between the support and the materials\, in specific temporal and spatial conditions that generate an image as a result. This image\, however specific and symbolic it may be\, also describes a body that generates friction. Thus\, drawing could be understood as a map\, a cartography of gestures and behaviours\, a sensory record shared between two bodies: that of an author who creates and activates it and that of a receiver who collects it with their own body\, seeing as they also recognise themselves in the gestures that produced it. \nWe invite you to take part in a drawing activity where we will think through activating the frictions that are inherent in the gestation of an image through the work of Antoni Tàpies\, based on material approaches such as gesture\, speed\, friction and matter\, yet understanding them as a state linked to its emotional\, political and spiritual conditions. A hands-on activity that invites us to explore the work of Antoni Tàpies through the language of drawing and its performative potential. \n  \nOriol Vilapuig Morera (Sabadell\, 1964) \nVisual artist who mainly works with the language of drawing\, his practice involves an essayistic approach. The question of images\, their possibilities and rules\, as well as their ways of appearing\, are a constant in his work. His work also expands into the field of teaching through the performative possibilities of drawing and its modes of use. He teaches workshops as a lecturer in the Fine Arts degree at BAU – Centre Universitari d’Arts i Disseny de Barcelona and at Illa – Escola d’Art i Disseny de Sabadell. He has exhibited in a number of solo and group exhibitions. His work is part of several collections and has received critical acclaim. \n

SUMMARY:Dry Stone Library
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe library of the poet and art critic Vicenç Altaió is a boundless accumulation of experiences\, where the book is the place for the settlement of words. Communication with them is never-ending; if you listen closely\, you can hear the authors’ voices\, holding out for the passage of history\, patiently waiting to be reread by younger generations. A few of them go beyond the limits of the “closed-book syndrome”\, reviving performatively in space and time. \nThe Museu Tàpies presents the most recent film by Joan Vall Karsunke\, known for his work in documentary and experimental cinema\, with a focus on cultural memory\, philosophical reflection and the poetics of imagery. In this work\, the filmmaker explores the library of the poet and essayist Vicenç Altaió\, capturing the essence of the person through profound conversations and a carefully-crafted aesthetic. The film defines itself as a road-book movie\, featuring the intervention of 23 figures from the world of art\, music and literature. \nAfter the screening\, a conversation will take place between the director\, Joan Vall Karsunke; the film’s editor\, Ginebra Vall; and the writer Vicenç Altaió. \n  \nCredits: \nBiblioteca de pedra seca [Dry Stone Library] \nJoan Vall Karsunke\, 2025\, Catalonia\, Catalan version\, 98 min\, DCP. \nWith the participation of Perejaume\, Josep M. Sala-Valldaura\, Valentina Valentini\, Alfredo Pirri\, Mario Gas\, Biel Mesquida\, Albert Serra\, Stella Rahola\, Frederic Amat\, Pere Noguera\, Blanca Llum Vidal\, Jordi Cuixart\, Hannah Collins\, Alfredo Jaar\, Miquel Barceló\, Fina Miralles and Laia Estruch. \nMusic: Nicolas Jaar\, Carles Santos\, Llorenç Balsach\, Marina Herlop and Pascal Comelade. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Presentation of the catalogue "Marta Palau: My Paths are Earthly"
DESCRIPTION:The Museu Tàpies is pleased to present the catalogue for the exhibition Marta Palau: My Paths are Earthly. This publication is essential for exploring the work of a unique artistic voice\, brought to the fore by the museum with her first major European retrospective. The exhibition of the work of Marta Palau (Albesa\, Lleida\, 1934 – Mexico City\, 2022) was open to the public from 27 February to 17 August\, 2025. \nThis publication\, prepared in collaboration with the MUAC (Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo\, UNAM)\, features texts by Imma Prieto\, Amanda de la Garza\, María Dolores Jiménez-Blanco\, Maria Josep Balsach\, Rita Eder\, Natalia de la Rosa and Cuauhtémoc Medina\, articulating the exhibition’s main conceptual themes: her relationship with the earth\, exile\, the body\, memory and the ability to create life through art. The catalogue also presents drawings\, paintings and large-scale textile installations\, as well as previously-unseen material from Marta Palau’s personal archive. It thus presents a living dialogue between the artist’s biography and the historical context she lived in\, giving rise to universal questions\, tensions and conflicts that persist into our time. The book\, published in Catalan\, Spanish and English\, features 248 pages\, and contains 140 images illustrating Palau’s vast creative universe. \nThe catalogue will be presented by Imma Prieto\, director of the Museu Tàpies and curator of the project Marta Palau: My Paths are Earthly; Nieves Berenguer\, the book’s designer; and Bettina Moll\, the publication’s editor. With the presence of Marta Gassol\, the artist’s daughter. \nThis event is an invitation to learn more about the work of Marta Palau\, and to discover how these multiple paths might lead us to consider each of our own paths\, querying us about artistic legacies\, historical memory and hegemonic narratives. \n  \n  \nTechnical information: \nMarta Palau.

SUMMARY:fe sense obres morta és\, by Albert Serra
DESCRIPTION:The Museu Tàpies has organised a series of screenings for the public presentation of fe sense obres morta és [faith without works is dead]\, the new film production by Albert Serra\, which renders homage to the person and work of Antoni Tàpies. The initiative arose from the museum’s intent to expand understanding of the Tàpies’ legacy through “indisciplined” contemporary gazes\, able to forge new narratives from his work. The proposal pertains to a line of programming that emphasises experimentation and dialogue between diverse artistic expressions. \nIn this context\, Serra—an internationally recognised filmmaker\, producer and screenwriter whose career is distinguished by formal freedom and conceptual radicality—has accepted the challenge of creating a personal\, unrestrained and nontransferable approximation to the universe of Tàpies. The result is a film that does not seek to explain nor interpret\, but rather to suggest\, invoke and emotionally move us. It is a piece that is open and sensorial\, opting for poetic evocation over direct representation. \nIn fe sense obres morta és\, Serra delves into the most intimate and spiritual terrains of the production of Tàpies\, exploring the material limits\, symbolic charge and philosophical density of a unique gaze that is incorruptible and always provocative. The film sidesteps conventional narrative in constructing an immersive experience that dialogues with the artist’s thought and aesthetics\, accentuating their present-day relevance\, complexity and transformative verve. It is an audiovisual project that is much more than a portrait or exercise in interpretation: it is an autonomous artistic proposal that\, with the world of Tàpies as its starting point\, reveals hidden and unexpected aspects of it. It is also an invitation to approach Tàpies from new perspectives\, through the language of film as a realm of reflection and interpretation. \nWith this screening series\, the Museu Tàpies solidifies its commitment to contemporary creation and to the critical revision of Antoni Tàpies’ work\, encouraging encounters between a diverse set of generations\, disciplines and artistic sensibilities. \n  \nFact sheet:  \nfe sense obres morta és \nAlbert Serra\, Catalonia\, 2025. DCP\, Catalan\, 52 min. \n  \nAlbert Serra has a degree in Spanish Philology and Comparative Literature from the University of Barcelona. As a film director\, he is considered one of the leading contemporary filmmakers internationally. His international debut was with Honor de cavalleria\, which premiered at the Directors’ Fortnight of the 2006 Cannes Film Festival; it was considered one of the best films of the year by the prestigious French journal Cahiers du Cinéma. In 2009 he returned to Cannes with El cant dels ocells\, which was chosen for and won awards at various international festivals. He has also directed projects for museums: Els noms de Crist\, presented at the MACBA exhibition Are You Ready for TV? (2010); and El Senyor ha fet en mi meravelles\, for the exhibition The Complete Letters at the CCCB. In 2013 he wrote and directed the film Història de la meva mort\, winner of the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival\, and considered one of the best films of the year by The New Yorker. These recognitions situated him on the stage of world cinema. In 2016 he premiered La mort de Lluís XIV\, which won the Prix Jean Vigo and received seven nominations for the Gaudí Awards. In 2019 he returned to Cannes with Liberté\, a film about the libertines expelled from the puritan court of Louis XVI\, wining the Special Jury Prize.
