Public Programme 2025. Museu Tàpies regular proposals

Dossier de premsa

The Museu Tàpies presents regular proposals for the 2025 public programme

On Saturday 22 March, at 1 pm, the Museu Tàpies welcomes springtime with the new edition of the series Following the Sun, curated by Gabriel Virgilio Luciani. The programme questions societal normativity and invites queer, decolonial, dissenting     and antiauthoritarian voices to the Museu Tàpies terrace, presided by the artist’s Mitjó [Sock], an icon of marginalisation.

For the series’ first session, the project by Amaru ‘Personaje Personaje’ Peña, I Swear,  poses various questions: What conditions are imposed when someone does not consent to “belong”? Losing their home? Being forced to live on the margins?  Renouncing everything that is theirs to access a different culture? Trans bodies, migrant bodies and so many others are threatened because they do not fit into the standards that not even Antoni Tàpies’s Mitjó can respond to.

For his part, Fito Conesa opens the second edition of the series The Chairs of Tàpies on 27 March, at 7 pm, with the action A Horizontal Spin. Entitled Tattooed Memories, the 2025 series invites emerging creators to carry their voices and movements to a new dimension, driven by the need to question corporeality. The series is curated by Judith Barnés, head of public programming at the Museu Tàpies.

Fito Conesa proposes a musical exercise based on the voice and on spinning, on repetitive structures that are effectively the sonorous foundation for the unpredictable. Repetition as a background, where the temporal features that inhabit it arise naturally. Voice, spinning, song and movement. A gesture that also celebrates space, the architectures that inhabit it and the sounds these spaces postulate.
