The project consists of a guided tour to the Volume! Works from the collections of "la Caixa" Foundation and MACBA exhibition. (40 minutes) followed by a practical workshop (50 minutes) which will take a closer look at the design artist and signature design, putting into practice ideas that have emerged during the tour of the galleries and carrying out a series of graphic exercises using only plastic materials and unassisted by the computer.

The visit/workshop is designed and conducted by Jordi Ferreiro, a graphic designer and art educator who has led workshops at festivals such as Sónar, Primavera Sound and Swatch. Ferreiro has also designed album covers (El Guincho, Extraperlo, Delorean), and he is a member of the artists collective Comte d'Urgell.
