This exhibition looks both inward and outward, asking how artists engage with the 'surface' throughout history. Beginning by scratching the surface of pictures, the MACBA takes the visitor on a journey through the possibilities and constraints of artistic forms, with dozens of works from the likes of Jean Dubuffet, Lucio Fontana, Dieter Roth and Antoni Tàpies.
This exhibition aims to create a space for political memories and histories, linked by the theme of sexual dissidence and activism. Produced in collaboration with students of the MACBA Independent Studies Programme, Dislocated Archive examines and celebrates discourses that empower and emancipate disenfranchised communities.
Catalan-born Francesc Torres pioneered the multimedia installation at a time when his contemporaries were still getting to grips with Neo-Expressionism. Decades in the making, The Hermetic Bell is a giant work guaranteed to deliver bags of Torres' trademark wit alongside his reliable critiques of power, politics, and contemporary culture.
If being confused by crazy art is your thing, you'll be comfortable in the mind-boggling MACBA. Head into Barcelona's huge contemporary arts museum and let your imagination unscramble both the permanent and temporary collections.
Art is a serious business at the mammoth MACBA, the big boss of Barcelona's contemporary arts scene. The permanent collection at MACBA boasts around 5,000 works from the mid-20th century onwards, across three periods - the 40s - 60s, 60s - 70s, and contemporary.
It's minimalistic and cool (seriously! They know how to pump the AC) and packed with amazing art in all forms. Skip the line and spend those extra hours soaking up art in air-conditioned comfort!
