Exhibition 'Joan Miró. Circles'

What's it about

This new presentation, curated by Teresa Montaner and Marta Ricart, starts from the inseparable binomial formed by work and space that structures the tour and gives meaning to each room. The project is inspired by a working folder that Miró made between the second half of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties, kept in the valuable drawing archive that the artist donated to the Foundation. In those documents, which reflect on space and time as axes of his practice, the idea of a new way of relating people to art beats. The rearrangement picks up this intuition and brings it to the present: the exhibition will foster an experience built from the multiple relationships between works, space, and people. In this renewed tour, Sert's architecture assumes an essential role. The artist and the architect already worked side by side to conceive specific spaces for specific works, and this logic returns to be key: the building determines rhythms, perspectives, and thresholds that activate the gaze. The Cypress Garden will be opened to the public, the dialogue between interior and exterior will be activated to allow the space to breathe and for the works to connect with the surroundings and the light that surrounds them. With more than a hundred works, the rearrangement is possible thanks to the founding generosity of Joan Miró, his family, and collectors and institutions that have donated or loaned works.
