The group show “From Within” brings together the works produced by young national and international graduates of the master programme in Artistic Production and Research at the University of Barcelona, with specialization in “Art and Intermedia Contexts”.

Rethought through the lens of the excepcionality of the present moment, this year edition bring us the second part of the exhibition that look place last summer during the Art Nou 2020 context. The exhibition results from the close and enriching collaboration established with Senda Gallery by Pep Montoya, the late coordinatos of the Master program, whose unfortunate and premature passing was due to the Covid19 pandemic. Therefore, for this occasion, we would like to share a fragment from Pep’s notes that we think defines his character and approach, wich he shared throughout his career, both as a professor and an artist:

The artistic environment and tradition in Barcelona are very complex. At least three layers of action coexist in it: the public, the private, and the constantly emerging. This dynamism is largely nourished by the students of the Faculty of Fine Arts and, especially, by the students from the master program. This is why ProdArt´s goal is to enhance learning thought art practice and thought, and to generate both visual content and arguments for a critical reflection on the present time. Collaboration, participation, and dialogue are essential for artistic creation and dissemination. Hence the excitement…[ from the inside out ].
