Gino Rubert celebrates the publication of his new book named Sí, quiero edited by Lunwerg with texts and illustrations of Rubert.

Infancy is a plasterboard place where to learn laws and hierarchies. Until the desire comes and destroys everything.

Through disturbing, images and acid but a the same time sweet text, Gino Rubert stage an unusual and exciting portrait of sentimental relationships.

Sí, quiero is a song to life, love and the creation a journey to a universe of unpredictables and eccentric characters, which are fighting to survive to the tyranny of their passions.

The catalan artist will officially present his new publication “El Internacional (1984 – 1986): New York’s Archaeological Sandwich” at CaixaForum Barcelona on Wednesday, December 14th.

Miralda recieved the Artist’s award from La Caixa’s Fundación Arte y Mecenazgo in 2015. 20,000 € of the endowment has gone towards editing and publishing book, recently brought to light.

Just as this book is no ordinary one, the restaurant was nothing ordinary either. It was considered an experimental and innovative space, a fusion of gastronomy with performances, installations, and other artistic showings. El Internacional became an emblematic place of cosmopolitan life in New York in the 80’s. Not only was it able to restore the tapas concept in the city, something unknown in the United States culinary culture during that time; but it was also a meeting point to merge art with the rituals of food.

The “artist’s book” goes over the history of the restaurant and weaves through some of the most relevant moments that took place there, thanks to the testimonials shared by those who frequented the restaurant. Besides the recipes, menus, and memories, the book illustrates the urban history of a city that is constantly evolving, and the history and concept of El Internacional Tapas Bar & Restaurant, a social and artistic experiment that left an imprint in TriBeCa neighborhood in New York.

On its 25th anniversary, Amics del Liceu is preparing the edition of the “Temporada de l’Ópera”‘s book with illustrations by Jordi Bernadó. It is the first time that Amics del Liceu invited a photographer to particiar in this special project.

Amics del Liceu is a club that was born with the aim to support the activity of the Gran Teatre del Liceu and be a platform for dissemination of opera and music. The annual edition of “Temporada de l’Ópera” has collected national and international firms and works by artists of great prestige who have made illustrations especially for this project including other gallery artists such as Gino Rubert.

The photographs can be seen in the space of Galeria Senda after the official opening on September 26 2016 at 7:30pm.

Isabel Rocamora’s Imaging Faith centres on Faith, a film triptych which intimately observes the act of worship of the three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem. Set in the wilderness of the Holy Land – the historically significant landscapes of the Judean desert, far from the built and contested territories – an Orthodox Jew (Cohen descent), a Greek Orthodox Christian (Father, Church of Nativity) and a Sunni Muslim (Quran reader, Al Aqsa Mosque) perform their morning prayers. In time, their synchronous action reveals an uncanny similarity of inner state and gestural intention. Questioning segregation while celebrating difference, Faith contemplates issues of human belief, inviting reflection on one of the most tragic, world resonating conflicts that persist in this new century.

In the adjoining gallery a series of still images offer a window into Rocamora’s research in Jerusalem, culturally and politically contextualising the film triptych. A dedicated reading room provides a contemplative space in which six contemporary thinkers (historians, theologians and philosophers, including Gil Anidjar, Mark Cauchi, Victoria Rocamora and Simon Critchley) have been invited to curate passages from seminal texts in response to the themes of the exhibition.

Imaging Faith presents the UK premiere of this new body of work by the Edinburgh-based artist as well as the first exhibition of Rocamora’s work in Scotland.

After the jury’s deliberation among six finalists, Anna Malagrida received the award on January 20 of this year. In her project, Anna imagines the places “of Paris” as a scenic device in which, from their movement, the characters will become the actors, the reflections of the city mixed with the insides of cafe’s, the decoration; and the words united in the universe of chance, the text.

Through the “Carte Blanche” award, the PMU shows its compromise with contemporary photographic creation, giving carte blanche to the artists so they can take their vision into the universe of chance.

For the seventh edition, the PMU has launched an open call to any professional photographer or artist. The winner will get a prize of 20,000 euros for the realization of an unpublished project, a book from Filigranes publishing and an exhibition in the Photographic Gallery of the Centre Pompideu from September 28^th to October 17^th 2016.

The Photographic Gallery is an open space of the Centre Pompideu of free entrance and dedicated exclusively to photography. This new gallery of 200 m2 wants to open the richness of the photographic collection of the Centre Pompideu to the public, conformed by more than 40,000 pieces and more than 60,000 negatives.

“Anna Malagrida opens a window to a space that confronts the urban and the human and proposes a sensible interpretation of a social link form that unites behind the windows” Benoît Cornu, Communications Director of the PMU, president of the jury.

Geometry of the Absurd: Recent Paintings by Peter Halley features eight large paintings produced between 2007 and 2015. The paintings selected for the exhibition share in common a distinctive doublestack composition—with two prisons or cells, one precariously suspended above another.
