From 15 June to 30 September Follow this exhibition on social media: #KaderAttia #PremiJoanMirรณ

The exhibition featuring French-Algerian artist Kader Attia, the winner of the latest edition of the Joan Mirรณ Prize, is an introduction to his output from the past few years. Selected especially by the artist, these pieces revolve around the notion of repair, one of his main areas of interest.

For Kader Attia, the West deals with repair by trying to erase all physical evidence, whereas in other cultures the marks left by traumatic events are accepted or even given a visual treatment that highlights them. Kader Attia develops his work from the areas of friction between cultures that have suffered unequal relationships and that reveal the disparity in the ways of facing the pain of the past. For the artist, covering up the traces of tragic episodes from a shared past does not help to heal the deepest wounds. The title of the exhibition is an excerpt from All the Pretty Horses, the novel by Cormac McCarthy published in 1992.

The Fundació Joan Miró is a remarkable space created by Joan Miró himself with the idea of making art accessible to all.

The collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures and works on paper displayed at the Fundació is one of the most comprehensive selections of Miró’s oeuvre, offering a thorough overview of all the stages of his life and career.

A variety of spaces allow visitors to venture into an interdisciplinary exploration of the highly personal language and production of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.

A series of overarching themes illustrate key concepts in Miró’s work and in the thinking of his times, while reflecting the artist’s desire to transcend conventional painting. The paintings related to Surrealism and the works based on the Spanish Civil War are particularly noteworthy due to their artistic and poetic significance.

Other important pieces include the large canvases Miró produced from the late seventies onwards, which are characterised by large fields of colour and free gesture.

The Fundació also devotes a wing to the Kazumasa Katsuta collection, which allows visitors to explore a dialogue between East and West, highlighting the universality of Joan Miró’s work.

Beehave Curated by Martina Millà Interventions throughout the city: until 17 June Follow this exhibition: #beehaveBCN

Beehave is a project curated by Martina Millà that draws on contemporary artists’ interest in honey bees and the key role these insects play in the planet’s environmental balance. The project begins at the Fundació Joan Miró with an exhibition based on immersive installations that invite visitors to connect with the world of these insect pollinators. Until 17 June, Beehave ventures out beyond the museum with ten art interventions at different locations throughout Barcelona, with the aim of sparking a debate about the coexistence of humans and bees in cities.

It Shinsui Tradition and Modernity Curated by Akiko Katsuta Follow this exhibition: #ItoShinsui

With the aim of further exploring the subtlety of the connections between Miró’s work and Japanese art and thought, the Fundació presents the exhibition Ito Shinsui. Tradition and Modernity, with over fifty visually striking prints.

It Shinsui (1898-1972) is one of the great masters of shin hanga, a technique and art movement inspired by the genre of wood carving and printing depicting traditional imagery known as ukiyo-e.

Photography in the Foyer

The Fundació Joan Miró has been programming photography exhibitions to showcase the Joaquim Gomis archive and the work of other photographers who, like Gomis, combined the practice of photography with other professional activities.

Until 13 May

From 15 May to 30 September

Toni Garcia Returning Light His relationship with beeswax has led chandler Toni Garcia to venture into photography.

Addressing the synergy that emerges between light and darkness, Garcia observes his surroundings from a different perspective. The possibility of capturing moments becomes his return ticket to memories charged with sensations, textures, and colours that configure a personal record of the instant.

La Ricarda: Two Views Photographs by Joaquim Gomis and Magels Landet Joaquim Gomis photographed La Ricarda –his cousin’s house in El Prat del Llobregat, designed

by Antoni Bonet– while it was being built. Once it was finished, he also documented the cultural soirées that were held there.

Decades later, the sculptor Magels Landet captured details from the house when it was no longer inhabited and had become a legend of architectural and cultural modernity from the Barcelona of the 1960s.

Espai 13 The Possibility of an Island Programme curated by Alexandra Laudo Follow this exhibition programme on social media: #illaEspai13

An island is a symbol of independence and self-sufficiency, but it can also be a place of segregation and confinement. It can evoke images of paradise, but also of self-contained tourist resorts. Historically, islands have been objects of colonial power, but also places for social and political utopias. Perhaps, above all, an island is a metaphor for a state of solitude, retreat and introspection.

The exhibition programme titled The Possibility of an Island explores some of the symbolic and socio-cultural meanings that islands –those paradigmatic spaces in our collective imagination– have had over the course of time, with the aim of raising questions and reflections about these meanings that may be pertinent to our contemporary context.

Until 17 June

The Odyssey Bárbara Sánchez Barroso Taking a childhood memory as a starting point and pursuing a free, feminine interpretation of the Odysseus myth, this video installation by Bárbara Sánchez Barroso is an account of a character’s journey across the sea in search of a place that is supposedly related to her own origin. The Odyssey is a video piece that explores the intersections between fiction and biographical narrative, appealing to the inherent human drive to turn experiences into stories.

The piece also refers to the role of foundational narratives in both the development of the collective imagination and the construction of a personal subjectivity, suggesting the significance of journeys as metaphors for personal quests.

From 29 June to 11 September

I am Vertical Gideonsson / Londré The Swedish artist duo Gideonsson / Londré presents a project in Espai 13 based on the concept of verticality.

The artists explore the physical and psychological effects that human beings experience at great heights, and how these bodily sensations can trigger and enhance mental states of isolation, introspection or disconnection from the outside world.

Espai 13

Families Our programming for families includes a broad range of activities and experiences for people of all ages aimed at sparking individuals’ curiosity and encouraging their personal connections to art.

The activities are grouped into three areas: experiences related to the Joan Miró collection that stimulate creativity beyond contemplation; interdisciplinary activities based on temporary exhibitions and the Espai 13 exhibition programme, which provide a broad interpretation of reality as presented by the museum; and, last of all, other explorations regarding the Fundació and its context, the paths that lead there, the landscape, the neighbourhood and Montjuïc, viewed metaphorically as a magic mountain that opens up new paths to learning.
