Este próximo 2022 celebramos, por cuarto año consecutivo, nuestra ya tradicional Noche de Reinas. A la hora del té y en la víspera de la Epifanía, volvemos a compartir una lectura colectiva de tarot (cortesía de la habitación) para conocer los valores que nos ayudarán a abordar el año nuevo. Además, todas las personas que […]
In the framework of the exhibition Orden público: Vagos, Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social, Daniel Gasol invites us to participate in a workshop in the context of the La Model prison in Barcelona, one of the places where detainees under the Ley Vagos y Maleantes (1933-1970) and the Ley de Peligrosidad Social (1970-1995) were held and imprisoned in order to serve their corresponding sentences.
In the context of the ex La Modelo prison in Barcelona, we will be holding a round table with Daniel Gasol, with Antoni Ruiz and Silvia Reyes, two people sentenced under the Ley Vagos y Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social, who will share their experiences and legislative processes.
In the framework of the exhibition Orden público: Vagos, Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social, the artist Daniel Gasol will guide us through his extensive research on the files of the Ley de Vagos y Maleantes (1933-1970) and Peligrosidad Social (1970-1995), analysing how the legislation often turns the underprivileged classes into criminals, who must also redeem themselves by working for the State.
As the final party of Daniel Gasol's project, on Thursday 3 February we met up at the legendary bar El Cangrejo.

On 15 February, a poet, a journalist, a calligrapher, an actress, a writer and a typographer dined at the gallery around a table that is Mercè Soler's album of experiences. An album that has no images, but a series of words inscribed in her memory. And in the table linen, crockery, cutlery and glasses. She […]

A week ago Mercè Soler invited six people who work with words to dine around a table that is their own album of experiences, activating the exhibition Un álbum.

Those of us who are dedicated to books, among other things, always have on our list of unanswered questions: Will it rain on Sant Jordi? Even if it dawns clear or showers fall, on April 23 we celebrate a day so dear to this room as it could not be otherwise. This year, we will […]

Maisons de week-ends imaginaires by Laía Argüelles is the result of an interest in private spaces and a desire for home as a sometimes inaccessible notion.

Blank books have a history of more than a century, and are a very frequent genre in the field of artist's books, experimental publications and mass editions. Their effect is often surprising and humorous, but they can also stimulate a question about their own materiality. On June 3 at 6 pm, from Chiquita Room, Marcela […]

Within a space of imperceptible limits, we follow a character on her expedition to an unknown destination as she embarks on a series of curious encounters that will connect her to her surroundings. With each challenge, the character (the artist and director) interacts with objects and captivating artifacts that, linked together through action, create a set of sequences that trap us in a strange and hypnotic game.
This summer we will be at the Artesantander fair with Sara Agudo Millán. From July 16 to 20, we will be showing in the 30th edition of the International Contemporary Art Fair drawings of the artist in two series of records with an important poetic charge.
