Itineraries

One of MACBA’s main roles is to conceive, prepare and arrange content from which new narratives can emerge. Through the Itineraries, we will propose paths that cut across all the content of this website: audio, video, entries on artists, works, texts, publications, exhibitions, etc. In this section, you will find compiling content based on an idea, an interest or an academic concept. 

Summer Readings

Fault lines in the RWM vault
Fault lines in the RWM vault

We borrow this term to highlight five one-of-a-kind features in our archive that capture interesting moments of divergence, tension, or even accident.

 

Poetry
Poetry

"I believe the poet today must broaden his field, get out of books and put himself forward with all the means provided by society itself and which he can use as unusual vehicles, infusing them with an ethical content which society does not confer on them." Joan Brossa

Feminism(s) in the MACBA Collection
Feminism(s) in the MACBA Collection

This is not about feminism
This is not about feminism Or about parity, or about normalising artistic practices signed by women

It is about showing the plurality of proposals of the female artists in the MACBA Collection, with their differences and compatibilities, with their multiplicity and complexity.

Being an Artist
Being an Artist Conceptualism, land art, feminism or Minimalism

When artists are deemed to be affiliated to certain movements, the breath and complexity of their approaches and works are often underappreciated.

Catalan Conceptual Artists in the MACBA Collection

The incorporation of the Tous Collection into MACBA increases the representation of the experimental artistic practices that began in the early 1970s under the umbrella of Conceptual art.

Art and Literature

In this itinerary we present some associations between different contents of the museum in which literature is present as a source of inspiration, starting point or field of work.

Sound and Music at MACBA
Sound and Music at MACBA

«I sometimes think of music as a succession of sounds which on reaching the listener's ear turns back on itself and retraces its path, in orderly disorder, until re-entering the mind of the person who thought it up». Walter Marchetti

The City
The City Reality and Utopia

An itinerary through the "city" by artists and architects like Laguillo, Domènec, Thomas Bayrle or Jordi Colomer, among others.

Strategies of resistance
Strategies of resistance Contemporary art and AIDS

The borders between art, activism and biopolitics become blurred when trying to analyse, from the point of view of the museum, the ways in which society has dealt with AIDS since the 1980s.

The medium is the message
The medium is the message

The phrase "The medium is the message" (1964) by Marshall McLuhan highlights both the interest generated by the mass media and how these condition our perception of reality and the information that reaches us. 

The construction of the commons
The construction of the commons

"Sometimes, a place or a shared curiosity can be enough to create a community." Julia Ramírez-Blanco

Feminisms
Feminisms

This itinerary goes through a series of works by women artists that reveal the tensions that have existed throughout the history of contemporary art in relation to different cultural, social and political contexts and which have a strong feminist character. 

#Fiction
#Fiction

In the same way that Joan Fontcuberta created a Russian cosmonaut called Ivan Istochnikov and gave him a false life, many artists have incorporated fiction in their work.
