Book-Wall. Reading club

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.

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.
