Activity - The Territory of the Genial Republic | MACBA Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona

11 April, 2003

The debate will provide a forum for discussion of Robert Filliou's work from a non-academic point of view, and a tribute to a historic but very little known figure. The symposium will provide elements of some of his less well-known areas of activity, such as his relation with the cinema and performance, and there will be contributions from people who knew and worked with him personally.
