Blue colored sequence, un paisaje sonoro-visual
Dance performance
At 8 pm and 10 pm, duration: 15 minutes
During REM sleep, our eyes move rapidly. It is the time when we are most relaxed. Paradoxically, heart rate and breathing speed up and blood pressure and sexual arousal increase. During this phase we dream and capture lots of information from our environment due to increased brain activity: sometimes more than when we are awake. The rest of the body, however, is paralysed because the brainstem blocks our motor neurons. The body probably uses this mechanism to stop us carrying out what we’re doing in our dreams.
Creator and Performer: Manuel Rodríguez (www.manuelrodriguezr.com)
Musical set: Pablo Esbert Lilienfeld
Activity organised in collaboration with Graner, with the support of ICUB. Free admission.
MACBA for Families
Cap endins i cap enfora (Going in and out)
Workshop for children from 6 to 12 years
5.30 pm – 7.30 pm
Special version of the workshop by Jordi Ferreiro accompanied by the artists Toni Hervàs and Luz Broto.
In this session, the work of Luz Broto – a hole that passes through the museum – leads us to play and experiment with the architecture of the interior and exterior of the building. We will work on the space that surrounds us with some building material, a set of instructions and a collective negotiation to create an installation together.
Free admission. Advance booking required. Admission will be not possible after 5.30 pm.
ROOM 1418
Creative workshop for young people
7 pm – 9 pm
