Andrés Galeano exhibits in Corrents d’Imatges, an exhibition that brings together five artists from Quebec and Catalonia who undertook a digital photographic correspondence in 2020, when creation was done in confinement. The processes set in motion from the space of digital conversation and concretized in residencies in Quebec and Granollers during 2022 are witnesses of a process of exploration of the power of images to build stories and transform them, to create spheres of intimacy or even to become spiritual icons. This exhibition is the culmination of a collaboration between Roca Umbert and VU Photo, with the support of the Institut Ramon Llul, the Ministère des Relations Internationales et de la Francophonie du Québec and the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec.

From March 25 to June 25, 2023.

Two busts of a woman and a man are made up of fragments of their own faces, like archaeological remains, multiple and fragmented, of their history. A history that comes to an end when the sculptures crumble, soft and inconsistent, around roses or penetrated by lilies. If in the baroque vanitas the flowers represented a pleasant but ephemeral existence, here they remain, the fleetingness is only human. Marina Núñez presents the two single-channel videos Vanitas (1), Vanitas (2), 2019, in the exhibition CRYPTO ART: A NEW POSSIBILITY EXHIBITION at the Dynamicart Museum.

“At first they thought this wasn’t art, that I was crazy. That’s what they said about the impressionists and now their images are on boxes of chocolates. I hope that the same thing will happen with my body,” said the artist ORLAN at the press conference held during the opening of Weeping women Are Angry.

Lois Patiño and her film Samsara have won the Special Jury Prize in the Encounters section of the Berlinale, an award for the most daring cinema of the festival’s new stage. In Samsara, Patiño accompanies a Buddhist teenager on a visit to an old woman’s house to read her The Bardo Thödol, a guide to the journey between death and the next rebirth. On her last day, the young man whispers the book’s final passages in her ear, closes his eyes and meditates at her side, as she embarks on a transformative journey into what lies beyond.

Ouka Leele will give her name to the new intergenerational centre in Calle del Bronce, in Arganzuela, a pioneering space that promotes coexistence between the elderly and young people. The proposal has been approved in the district’s Plenary by unanimity of the political groups and has the approval of María Rosenfeldt, daughter of the artist.
