You are invited to the presentation and a visit to the Chris Ware: Drawing is Thinking exhibition, at CCCB. 

Jordi Costa, curator of the exhibition, will be giving an exclusive presentation of the show for the Friends, followed by a self-guided visit. 

Chris Ware (Omaha, Nebraska, 1967) is one of the most innovative artists in modern comic books. His drawings and cartoons touch us because they deal with human existence in great depth. The exhibition reviews the work and artistic thinking of an essential illustrator. 

This show invites us to take a chronological look at the work of a master of the comic strip, through original pieces, animations, objects and sculptures. It highlights his invention of language and introduces to the creative universe of a meticulous, artisan, emotional artist, influenced by the origins of the comic book, ragtime music and architecture, who has brilliantly explored human emotions, racism, consumerism and the effects of politics on everyday life. The exhibition concludes with a collective creation space inspired by one of Chris Ware’s most iconic works, Building Stories, transferring the story to Barcelona.
