‘Antoni Tàpies. The imagination of the world’

Traductor de Google:

Art. A review of the work of Tàpies based on the ideas contained in his earliest period of production.

With Tàpies as the central figure, the exhibition Antoni Tàpies. The imagination of the world seeks to map out a network of relationships between active agents, discourses and practices, as related to two key areas: on the one hand, the complex assimilation of artistic tendencies—such as dada and surrealism—and currents of thought—psychoanalysis, Marxism—in Barcelona in that period; and on the other hand, the dialogue of these movements with various forms of vernacular tradition and popular culture.

The selection of works focuses on the period from the early 1940s to the mid-1950s, while also suggesting other possible areas of continuity or rupture over the following decades.

The exhibition brings together a multiplicity of aesthetic objects with diverse origins, with a three-fold aim: first, to broaden the genealogies of Tàpies’ world towards less habitual references, analysing not only texts and images but also contexts and imaginary realms; second, to raise concerns in relation to various current debates on the academy, primitivist modes, the body, nature or the spectacle, amongst others, and third, to critically revive those considerations that allow us to keep conceiving new ways of being in the world.
