Book-Wall. Reading club

As part of the project Beyond the Skin a reading club will be offered with the collaboration of the bookshops Finestres, La Central and La Impossible. This time, the selection of books will be related to themes touched on by Clottey’s work, such as ecology, climate change and the migrations imposed by the global economic system. The reading club is a place to pool thoughts about necessary readings in the context of social and climate emergency in which we live. 

Llibre-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.
