Velazquez in Barcelona

Velázquez talks with his contemporaries of the Golden Age at CaixaForum

Velazquez Caixa Forum-2018

The CaixaForum opens the first great exhibition on Velázquez on Friday, which can be seen in Barcelona. The baroque collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid nourishes the exhibition, which proposes a dialogue between seven masterpieces by the Sevillan painter and fifty canvases by other great artists of his time, among which Rubens, Ribera, El Greco, Zurbarán, Giordano or Van Dyck. The works of Velázquez offer a broad vision of the stylistic and thematic palette of the painter and propose a game of comparisons and correlations with some of the Spanish and international painters with whom they were related or whose production was up to date. The exhibition, which coexists with the CaixaForum with another large exhibition dedicated to Toulouse Lautrec, can be visited until March 3, 2019.

Titià, El Greco, Ribera, Antonio Moro, Rubens, Murillo, Giordano, Brueghel, Guido Reni, Van Dyck, Zurbarán, Claudio de Lorena and Stanzione are the constellation of artists whose work accompanies seven great paintings by Velázquez (Seville, 1599 – Madrid, 1660) at the exhibition ‘Velázquez and the Golden Age’ at CaixaForum. The seven masterpieces of the Sevillan painter are ‘Felipe IV’, ‘Juan Martínez Montañés’,’ Isop ‘,’ Adoration of the Three Kings’, ‘Bufó con libros’,’ Prince Baltasar Carlos on horseback ‘and’ Mart’.Les Pieces chosen by commissioner Javier Portús Pérez (head of preservation of Spanish painting of the Prado Museum) seek to give “a description as wide as possible of the author,” according to ACN. “The intention is that with these seven works we understand who was Velázquez, the eagerness of originality, the narrative singularity and the extraordinary technical virtues that make it one of the peaks of painting,” says the curator. “He was one of the most versatile Spanish artists and he cultivated a variety of topics, which he wanted to reflect on the exhibition.” The representation of knowledge, religion, reflection on art, the Court, mythology and landscape are the thematic areas proposed by the exhibition to show this thematic fan of Velázquez. For each subject, a canvas by Velázquez. And around it, works by other Spanish and international artists that allow us to compare their work with what other Spanish and European painters of the Golden Age have done, as well as the European, “which place Velázquez to the visitor in another place accurate “, says Portús. “From a very young age, Velázquez sought singularity with a desire to distinguish himself, from his first works in Seville: still lifes that do not resemble anything known until then.” Later on, he would go to work at the service of the Royal Court, “a competitive medium and where to become singular”, and from where he had access to production that was made at European level. The courts of the various European states did this function of artistic promotion and contributed to the observation, comparison and influence between the various creators of the moment. In this sense, the exhibition’s curator admits that while we are accustomed to writing the history of painting in terms of national schools (the “Golden Age” Spanish), “reality was not always so compartmentalized, because painting is a language that knows no borders “. “The game of stimuli and influences was extraordinarily varied, and one of the things that this exhibition shows is to what extent at that time painting was an international language that knew no borders,” Portús concludes. ‘Velázquez y el Siglo de Oro’ is the third exhibition organized jointly between CaixaForum and the Prado Museum, after ‘Goya. Lights and Shadows ‘, and’ The captivating beauty. Treasures of the Prado Museum ‘. In this case, the new exhibition in Barcelona adds to the acts of celebration of the bicentennial of the Madrid art gallery.

Brian Eno, exhibition in Barcelona

Barcelona Airport hosts a sound installation with the musician’s latest album

 

Brian Eno in Barcelona 

The Arts Santa Mònica de Barcelona dedicates the most complete exhibition so far to the electronic and experimental music composer Brian Eno, which is complemented by an installation at the El Prat Airport that puts the musician’s latest album, Reflection, on the speakers.

“I had never thought that my music for airports would end up playing in one of them,” although it is not the first time because this has already happened in Berlin and Sao Paolo, has also celebrated the visual artist and producer in the presentation of the show Brian Eno . Lightforms / Soundforms.

Organized in collaboration with Sónar + D, after Eno gave the inaugural lecture of the Barcelona Festival’s professional competition in 2016, the exhibition merges music and light from the hand of recent works in contact with older projects and a selection of the pages of his notebooks in which he turns creative processes.

Both curator Lluís Nacenta and Eno himself have insisted that the exhibition is not a retrospective of the musician, because he does not feel so old as to receive this treatment, and for this reason the exhibition refuses showcases and focuses on proposing spaces Experiences.

“It is not an exhibition to travel, but to be” and to come calmly without crowds, Eno has suggested, that in the cloister Max Cahner shows a new piece, which considers the most complex in what generative music is concerned.

Between blue and green lights and a central area of ​​sofas, the piece New Space Music proposes an immersive experience in an Eno work created through the freezing of various fragments of music generated through algorithms and that together form a new sound landscape With “some melodic games,” observed Nacenta.

“This piece is no longer generative music, but rather frozen,” U2 producer Talking Heads, David Bowie and Coldplay, who also shows how new light boxes of colors change with calibrated and very fine speeds of change , Explained the commissioner.

Eno, who graduated from college as a visual artist, conceives these light boxes as moving paintings, and in the large-format piece 77 million paintings proposes 77 million combinations of paintings based on drawings and works he has done throughout of his career.

It is a great generative audiovisual installation, with which the images and the sounds that compose it evolve indefinitely, according to a followed by norms that have a certain statistical dimension.

Thus, each combination of light and sound would take millions of years to repeat itself, so when the exhibition ends on October 1, millions of combinations will remain to be formulated.

In the exhibition, you can also see applications created by Eno, and in some cases have become therapeutic tools to treat disorders of the autistic spectrum, something that the musician has celebrated.

In fact, the composer created eight years ago a reduced version of the exhibition at an oncology center in England in which patients and medical staff face frequent panic states, which has garnered numerous fruits among users.

“Music has a therapeutic function,” said Eno, who argues that everyone is in a position to be creative and become an artist. “Children learn by playing, and the older we play with art and hopefully continue to think as children and as artists,” concluded the producer, after claiming the role of the arts.

Barcelona cable car

The air shuttle 85 years flying over the city

barcelona-cable-car

“Savor watching the currency indescribable panorama of the city, the port and the Mediterranean. From the beach to the delightful gardens of Montjuïc in four minutes. ” That was the letter of the launch of the iconic cable car Port of Barcelona in the notice published in La Vanguardia in its Sunday edition of September 13, 1931. Now the iconic red trolleys meet 85, approaching a century life full of all kinds of anecdotes and setbacks.

barcelona-cable-car-1931

The cable car Port, which began serving until two in the morning, was designed by Carles Buigas, author of the Magic Fountain of Montjuic. It construction began in 1928 on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of 1929 to connect the area of Montjuïc with its maritime section, but was not completed in time for lack of funds. At the end of the Port cable car began to fly over the city in 1931. But this was not the only surprise. In the Civil War interrupted his service, the cables were removed and the towers, especially that of Sant Sebastia, which houses a Mediterranean creative cuisine, became a strategic place in the defense of the port of Barcelona.

Plane crash

After the war the air shuttle was not at his best and was about to close in the late 50s Indeed, a sad event at that time forced remodeling. A crash of the sixth American fleet crashed leaving several casualties. In 1963 it was reopened and the late 90 underwent another major refurbishment.

During the tour, about 1,300 meters and ten minutes, you can see from the district of Barceloneta, yachts moored in the harbor to the gardens of Montjuïc. This air travel has three stops, the tower of Miramar in Montjuïc, Sant Sebastia Tower in the Barceloneta, and Jaume I, the highest with 101 meters in the port.

Although the cable car you can see another point of view the city, it has been rather an attraction that the locals have turned their backs and tourists are the ones who have enjoyed this medium to fly over the city.

Oldest statue of Barcelona

The fountain of Hercules, in Còrsega street with Passeig Sant Joan, is the oldest public monument in the city, opened in 1802 in the disappeared Passeig of the Esplanade

Hercules statue Barcelona

It is the oldest public statue of Barcelona and represents Hercules, mythological founder of the city. Currently he can be seen capping the fountain of crossing the Paseo Sant Joan and Còrsega. But it was not always there. When built, for over two centuries, it was located in the late ride Esplanada, a landscaped public space in Barcelona between the Ribera district and the Ciutadella fortress.

It is the work of Salvador Gurri, a sculptor highly prized in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. It is estimated that the monument was built between 1797 and 1802, on the initiative of the then Captain General of Catalonia, Augustine of Lancaster, to commemorate the visit to Barcelona of King Carlos IV and his wife, Maria Luisa of Parma. In fact, the source of Hercules was part of a set of four devoted to mythological characters. The other three were devoted to Fortis sea god, a Nereid riding a dolphin and the nymph Arethusa. The Hercules is the only survivor of that group.

The original location of the four fountains, the walk to the Esplanade, for nearly a century was a very popular and frequented by the locals space, devoid of amenities within the walls. The tour ran more or less parallel to the street Commerce, in full security zone, uninhabited, which had been arranged around the Ciutadella. He starting near what is now the station França and ending in the Portal Nou, almost touching the current Arc de Triomf, largely following the path of Paseo Picasso.

The demolition of the strength and development of the park and the site of the Universal Exhibition of 1888 condemned this first public garden and fountains. Only saved Hercules, being in the near Arc de Triomf end, so he joined gardens also disappeared Palau de les Belles Arts. He was there until 1928, when his transfer was decided to urbanize the ride Sant Joan, designed as an extension of the Esplanada.

Until the Civil War, the dean of the city monument was the source of Santa Eulalia, originally from 1673, which was destroyed during the war and later restored.
