General Information

Temporary exhibition

The Way Things Do From 30 June to 1 October Curated by Serafín Álvarez and Martina Millà Follow this exhibition on social media: #TheWayThingsDo

The exhibition is a tribute to The Way Things Go, the iconic film by Peter Fischli and David Weiss, celebrating its 30th anniversary. The show includes three installations by upcoming artists and a screening of the film by the Swiss artist pair.

In The Way Things Do, Serafín Álvarez, Cécile B. Evans and Daniel Jacoby & Yu Araki offer three reinterpretations of the legendary chain reaction of objects while exploring the notions of circuits and traces, the role of objects in relation to audiences or the nature of interactions between data, machines and artificial intelligence. Althought the three resulting pieces are independent from each other, they are all based on the film by Fischli and Weiss, while also stemming from shared, collaborative production processes.

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.

Eight distinct but interconnected sections allow visitors to explore all aspects of the work and personal language of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century: ’The Land’, ’Beyond Painting’, ’Violence’, ’Escape’, ’Anonymity’, ’Poetry and Silence’, ’Anti-Painting’, ’Sobreteixims’, and ’Art and Everyday Life’ illustrate the key concepts in Miró’s thinking and his oeuvre, and show his 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.

Self-organization Curated by Antonio Ortega Follow this exhibition on social media: #Autogestió

Self-organization provides a genealogy of artists from the 1960s on who have been developing strategies to recover the authorship of their own narrative. The exhibition is also an attempt to understand recent art and confirm the current validity of these dynamics. It includes works of artists such as Esther Ferrer, Joan Hernández-Pijuan, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Sílvia Gubern, Cesare Pietroiusti, Jiri Kovanda, Henk Peeters or François Curlet.

The continuity of positions supporting the concept of self-organization could have its base in contextual conditions such as the drop in production costs and the institutional crisis. Many recent artistic efforts have adjusted themselves to this scenario in order to maintain their cultural activity by taking on a high level of risk and making a clear commitment to their time.

Self-organization is also associated with the artists’ determination to not relinquish their work to an external interpretation, instead reclaiming control of what is probably their only capital: the desire to be in charge of their own production.

Éluard, Cramer, Miró – «À toute épreuve», more than a book

Éluard, Cramer, Miró – «À toute épreuve», more than a book reconstructs the creative process behind Miró’s book based on a collection of poems by Paul Éluard with the same title. The exhibition is part of the Miró. Documents series, whose aim is to use the Fundació’s archive to further explore certain aspects of Miró’s work.

The layout and execution of À toute épreuve is a reflection of Miró’s connection with the poets of the 1920s, which led to major transformations in his visual language. With this book, published by Gérald Cramer in 1958, Miró fulfilled his wish to venture beyond illustrating the poet’s words and end up creating an object.

Since 2012, the Fundació Joan Miró has devoted a space to photography, exhibiting the archive of Joaquim Gomis and works by other photographers who, like Gomis, combined the practice of photography with other professional activities.

Until 14 May

16 May to 17 September

Joaquim Gomis Brossa at La Ricarda

Cloe Masotta From a Pixel a Poem

A selection of Joaquim Gomis’s photographs covering the two performances held at La Ricarda in the 1960s, conceived jointly

by Joan Brossa and Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny: Suite bufa and Concert per a representar.

Carles Santos, Anna Ricci and Terri Mestres also participated, among others.

Joan Brossa always quoted the principle of his much-admired Fregoli: ’art is life and life is transformation.’ Cloe Masotta takes this premise out into the streets, knowing that at any moment she may encounter an object, a text, a shadow or a colour that attracts her and that she can seize with her cell phone. Once framed, reality is transformed and introduces a poetic twist. Nothing is what it appears to be.

This exhibition is part of the Epicentre Brossa programming.

Espai 13 One Foot Out. Expeditions and Diasporas Programme curated by Jordi Antas Follow this exhibition on social media: #Peuafora

The 2016–17 programme of exhibitions at Espai 13 presents six projects by artists who are working from the periphery of the usual circuits of contemporary art in Barcelona. They all address the issue of belonging to and breaking away from one’s original artistic context.

The artists featured in the One Foot Out. Expeditions and Diasporas programme reflect on how working from a distance affects their art.

They all share a liberated view of their surroundings and a working method that involes audience participation and approaches fiction and performativity. The programme offers a joint view of the artistic diaspora.

In collaboration with:

and co-produced with Tabakalera, the International Centre for Contemporary Culture.

19 May to 2 July Hot iron Adrià Julià Adrià Julià’s work deals with memory, resistance, displacement, and the erosion that occurs as a result of the interdependence of people and their environment. Julià, who is particularly interested in cinematographic language, carries out research processes and record the experience through installations and multimedia performances.

For One Foot Out, Julià will explore the cross-links between two seemingly unrelated events that reveal far-reaching global dynamics: the sale of Catalan Romanesque paintings to North-American buyers in the early twentieth century, and the introduction of American football in Barcelona a century later. The project’s centrepiece is a 16mm film included in the Festival Loop 2017 programming

14 July to 11 September Bur Belt Martin Llavaneras Martin Llavaneras uses video, sculpture, and other media to express his interest in dynamic activities capable of recoding spaces and defining a practical use of culture.

As part of the Espai 13 series for the 2016-2017 season, Llavaneras will explore the notions of heritage and traces through a project that explores the exploitation of rubber and the tyre industry. A project with a strong environmental dimension that connects virtual drawing with material elements and sets up comparisons between the geological and human time scales.
