Exclusive activity for MACBA Friends
in progress
We invite the MACBA Friends to a guided tour by curator Martí Peran of the exhibition Jordi Colomer. Façana Foto Festa Futur Fideus. The exhibition offers an extensive journey through the artist’s work from the late 1980s to today, through multiple formats: sculpture, collage, photography, video, installation and live action.
These are productions where Jordi Colomer deals with events that involve addressing crucial issues for the community. These actions took place in specific contexts in a series of cities around the world: Barcelona, Bucharest, Sana’a, Mexico City, Istanbul, Tetuan, Modena, Palermo, Buenos Aires and others. Situations occur in which the protagonist can be a single actor, a specific community or the entire citizenry.
Façana Foto Festa Futur Fideus brings together very different works presented in an organic (dis)order that promotes cross-fertilisation between geographies, stories and objects. The projects coexist in an environment encouraging simultaneity, fragility and the diversity of paths. The exhibition ensures that each of his “scenes” retains the potential “to continue to shake up our ways of living”.
