Coinciding with the opening of
Rita McBride's solo exhibition "Oferta Pública / Public Tender" (18 May–24 September 2012) that opened last night at
MACBA, Bartomeu Marí, director of the museum and curator of the exhibition, was
in conversation with the artist in the
second floor galleries, where McBride's "Arena" (1997) has been installed.
Below the stream of
@LTTDS' tweets posted during their conversation (chronologically from bottom to top):
One of the activities programmed around the exhibition is "Blind Dates", with the participation of Barcelona-based artists who will intervene in McBride's "Arena" once a month: Tamara Kuselman (20 June, 16–19.30h), Laia Estruch
(18 July, 20h), Jordi Ferreiro (August, during museum opening hours), Ryan Rivadeneyra (19 September, 20h), Miguel Noguera (20 September, 20h). + info here.
Some of them made it to the talk...
