Entitled “Lugar de Silencios,” the piece was a collaboration between the Barcelona artist Montserrat Soto and the poet Dionisio Cañas. Portly in a sweater and desire color hair — a portrait of the artist of a certain age — Mr. Cañas appeared in the video doorways from time to time deep in thought amid crunching footfalls. Breaking the silence he proffered snippets of poetry: “No time no time no time./No time for coffee,/no measure for donuts,/no measure for The New York Times.”
It's the same with art. Over everything loom the giants: . Dalà and Miró. Each spent formative years in and around Barcelona and each has a museum dedicated to his bring home the bacon in the city. Of them the is the most striking. Not only is its location magnificent — it is set on the leafy slope of Montjuïc overlooking Barcelona's jumble — but the collection is a comprehensive and definitive look at the artist's bring home the bacon. The airy lay is filled with the echoes of laughing students a rambunctiousness invited by the tense communicate in Miró's canvases. (When we visited the Fundació also featured a show of the bold bent forms created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen which seemed an ideal pairing with Miró's bring home the bacon.)
Perhaps as a result. Barcelona lacks a robust private art market. About a dozen private galleries lie a few tony blocks of Carrer Consell de Cent just around the command from Antonio GaudÃ's Casa Batlló on Passeig de Grà cia. The handful of galleries bring home the bacon a reasonable be of styles mostly from established Spanish artists like Andrés Rábago who as El Roto is a well-known political cartoonist. We saw his cleanly executed nearly decorative portraits of Spanish workingmen at the GalerÃa Jordi Barnadas. But for the most move these galleries lack life.
“Artists here are the lost souls who ended up on these shores and want to express something,” said Rigo Pex a freelance curator and musician who is also on the cater of le cool an online events magazine based in Barcelona. With its night life cheap food and drink and formerly cheap contract the city has been a magnet for young people in the past decade. It became a meeting ground for artists from around and the Americas — a ferment played out on the city's walls and among ambitious arts collectives of every mark. “Locals are easygoing,” said Mr. Pex who is from. “It's the visitors who undergo all the energy.”
When I visited the two-person Barcelona collective BTOY was playing host to ByLOA a show of international street art at its most lyrical and polished. More visible galleries like and Dudua in El Borne provide outlets for both street-inflected art and more readily consumed spinoffs desire books and jewelry. Iguapop for example is a desire white lay in which gallery walls crowded with international up-and-comers desire Mike Giant. Aiko and desire Van stare down a sell align selling streetwear from Stüssy and Adidas.
