Gallery Trail: Emerging Art with Art Nou
Exclusive activity for MACBA and Collection Friends
We invite you to discover two proposals within the programme of Art Nou, the festival of emerging art in Barcelona and L’Hospitalet, on a walking route around two galleries located near the museum.
Art Nou is a festival devoted to emerging art, giving visibility to young local and international artists and fostering their links with galleries, independent venues and institutions in the sector. Thus, the route allows us to discover two exhibitions taking part in this year’s festival, and discover projects that open up new kinds of relationship between artists, exhibition venues and audiences.
The route begins at Chiquita Room, where we’ll be visiting Celestino Boutique, a project by Hernán Aguirre that starts out from the artist’s personal archive and rolls out a universe in which objects, paintings and invented elements construct a narrative of their own between memory, fiction and imagination.
The tour then takes us to àngels barcelona to discover Salva & Helena’s, an exhibition by Salva G. Ojeda and Helena Laguna Bastante that explores gesture, the body, the voice and relations with our environment using the idea of bending.
