Panorama traces, a year on

Following on our earlier post on recent exhibitions by participating artists in MACBA’s exhibition Panorama 21. Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls, and coinciding with its first anniversary, we highlight four iterations of works produced or derived from their original presentation in the 2021 exhibition.

Antoni Hervàs and El Palomar are currently exhibiting in Frankfurter Kunstverein’s “Where will we go from here? Twelve art stories told from Spain” (on view until 29 January 2023), curated by Rosa Ferré and Ana Ara as part of Spain's Guest of Honour appearance at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2022.

Antoni Hervàs presents “Under the firelight, the ash shines like glitter” (2021-2022), a work that grows from its earlier iteration “La Mellers” (2021, see images above), a sculpture-becoming-exhibition entrance commissioned for Panorama 21. Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls”, which now has become an “archive of its own making” in the words of the artist“Under the firelight...” incorporates new papier-mâché parts allowing Hervàs to continue his research on the Barcelona underground varieté and drag scenes.

El Palomar is presenting their acclaimed film “Schreber is a Woman” (2020) in Frankfurt, which was originally commissioned for the 11th Berlin Biennale in 2020, and premiered in Spain during MACBA’s Panorama 21. Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls”. Since it was screened in Barcelona last October, El Palomar has presented the film in New York this past July (at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art) and this month as part of “To be Seen. Queer Life 1900-1950” at the NS-Dokuzentrum München.

Following on Claudia Pagès solo show “Abajo el puerto suena nino-nino, y yo arriba pipí” at The RYDER in Madrid earlier this past summer, her 360º video installation “Gerundi Circular” (2021) is now on view at Tabakalera in Donostia, Basque Country, until 15th January 2023. The 14-minute film was commissioned for Panorama 21. Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls and co-produced with ELAMOR. In 2022 “Gerundi Circular” has joint MACBA Collection through the funds of the National Collection of Contemporary Art of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Panorama in Madrid and Córdoba

Seven artists are currently exhibiting in Madrid or Córdoba with works produced, presented or derived from their original presentation in the group exhibition Panorama 21. Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls that took place at MACBA Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, between October 2021 and February 2022, curated by Hiuwai Chu and Latitudes.

Rosa Tharrats opened her first solo exhibition at Galería Ehrhardt Flórez in Madrid. Titled Theta Wave” (until July 3, 2022) it presents a new installation made with her signature materials, including recycled textiles and clothes, bioplastics, sponges, nets or stones, and is complemented with a suite of framed drawings and a sculpture made with discarded marble pieces intersected with fabrics. The text accompanying Rosa’s exhibition is written by another Panorama participant, Gabriel Ventura, whose performative action and poem “Passió i cartografia per a un incendi dels ulls” titled the small book published as the colophon of the exhibition. 

The next show at Galería Ehrhardt Flórez will be a solo by Panorama participant Laia Estruch, coinciding with Apertura Madrid Gallery Weekend that inaugurates the 2022–23 season.

El libro incluye un nuevo poema-deriva en tres movimientos de Gabriel Ventura que se descompone en una pluralidad de voces y puntos de vista dibujando una cartografía textual de la exposición

Como parte de la programación de actividades de la exposiciónel pasado 13 de enero 2022, el cantaor flamenco Pere Martínez y Ventura recitaron y cantaron los versos durante una única visita performativa en que los visitantes eran invitados a deambular las distintas salas del museo, seducidos por la melodía y las palabras de los amfitriones.

Diseñado por Ana Domínguez Studio (Lara Coromina y Ana Dominguez), el libro también incluye documentación fotográfica de la exposición realizada por Roberto Ruiz, Eva Carasol, Miquel Coll, Ana Domínguez Studio y los comisarios, así como una evocación fantasmal de su identidad gráfica con páginas translúcidas que parecen velar las imágenes y las palabras con nubes de humo y destellos de energía.

Ocupando la segunda planta del MACBAApuntes para un incendio de los ojos reúne obras obras encargadas para la ocasión y producciones recientes realizadas por 17 artistas afincados en Barcelona y alreadedores. La exposición presenta pintura, la escultura, obra en papel, la videoinstalación, la performance, la fotografía y el textil, y se podrá visitar hasta el 27 de febrero 2022.

Apuntes para un incendio de los ojos evoca una potente metáfora que nos lleva a cuestionar el predominio de lo visual y nos alienta a explorar una definición expandida del ver que implique al resto de nuestros sentidos mediante nuevos modos de navegar el mundo, de recordar y de producir conocimiento. La forma ocular adquiere vida propia en la imaginación de esta muestra evocando los panoramas del siglo xviii, y representa los lazos que el museo establece a su alrededor y viceversa, en una época en que quizá reconsideremos qué lugar deberíamos ocupar en el mundo.

Participantes: Ana Domínguez, El Palomar (Mariokissme & R. Marcos Mota), Laia Estruch, Arash Fayez, Antoni Hervàs, Rasmus Nilausen, nyamnyam (Ariadna Rodríguez & Iñaki Álvarez) con Pedro Pineda, Claudia Pagès, Aleix Plademunt, Marria Pratts, Stella Rahola Matutes, Eulàlia Rovira, Ruta de autor (Aymara Arreaza R. & Lorena Bou Linhares), Adrian Schindler, Rosa Tharrats, Gabriel Ventura y Marc Vives.

Apuntes para un incendio de los ojos” está curada por Hiuwai Chu y Latitudes, y coordinada por Berta Cervantes.

Opening of the exhibition "Notes for an Eye Fire" at MACBA


The exhibition Notes for an Eye Fire opens on 22 October 2021 (preview 21 October) at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) and will remain on view until 27 February 2022.

Notes for an Eye Fire is the first exhibition of a new series of triennial transdisciplinary projects entitled Panorama, focusing on artistic practices in and around Barcelona. As the “notes” of the title suggests, this group exhibition attempts to jot down, to lay out and to connect without seeking to be in any way definitive.

Notes for an Eye Fire brings together a group of specially commissioned works and recent productions being shown in Barcelona for the first time. It comprises a wide range of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, works on paper, video installation, performance, photography and textiles, and is driven by a desire to defend and verify the making of on-site exhibitions as experiences that envelop us as whole sensing bodies in space.

Participants: Ana Domínguez, El Palomar (Mariokissme & R. Marcos Mota), Laia Estruch, Arash Fayez, Antoni Hervàs, Rasmus Nilausen, nyamnyam (Ariadna Rodríguez & Iñaki Álvarez) with Pedro Pineda, Claudia Pagès, Aleix Plademunt, Marria Pratts, Stella Rahola Matutes, Eulàlia Rovira, Ruta de autor (Aymara Arreaza R. & Lorena Bou Linhares), Adrian Schindler, Rosa Tharrats, Gabriel Ventura, and Marc Vives.
