On 10 June 1975 opened the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, Montjuic mountain city hardest. Until four days ago were still poor houses,shaks. Lived memories of the shootings of Republican military museum and also the internment camps of migrants who arrived in the city as they could from Iberian lands. If no one claimed a few days, family or friends, returned home. Montjuïc was also a small amusement park for families and loved Popular Barcelona, mountain motorbikes circuit, and the place of wild nights clandestine sex, homosexual and heterosexual, "Foguerada" hot desire. Months later, on 20 November Franco died. Just that day, the Foundation had met reporters at noon to present the exhibition "Art Tantric. The collection of the Museum of New Delhi "and was then the director, the admirable Francesc Vicens, asked if the death of the dictator who had just met, alter the day's agenda of the Foundation, said that of "That does not affect us."
This does not affect us. Sensational Vicens. It meant that the bond internal Miró was the republican tradition and no other. Would not be mourning the death of the dictator. The architect Sert, referring Republican, vetoed by the regime to the point of not being able to sign the architectural, had refused to fit into the old palaces Montcada street, next to the Picasso Museum, precisely because it was performed brand new art center. This was another bond of Miró connection with this brash. A place of culture that was the direction that was established in Europe, the promotion of young art and especially attention to cultural expectations of an audience but active minority and more and more plural. --ara Almost a perspective quite different recordem-- not establish that the Centre Pompidou in Paris two years after Miró in Barcelona in 1977, beginning the business of museums as epicenters of cultural tourism and new market art.
So the Miró was opened in June, with the wonderful source of mercury Alexander Calder in the permanent collection that came directly Republican Pavilion for the International Exhibition of 1937 in Paris. Picasso's Guernica would still take years to leave exile and crossed borders to Madrid, but the Miró who declared direct daughter of Republican Catalonia, water and mercury calderians flowed sweetly. Joan Miró I smiled, happy and playful, near the stamp he painted for the Republic and his other works of those years and what he did afterwards.
This does not affect us. The tantric art became master of the rooms of the Miró that 20 November. Space was also open 10 aimed at young art. For Miró, the foundation should not shelter his work preferentially, but it was the subtitle says: Study Center of Contemporary Art. Hence the space 10, which is now called Area 13. Area 10 would show that first action Jordi Benito: a couple copulating in the room while screens for a bull dies bravo. One of the works staged at the precise moment of this story named Franco.
And 30 years also fulfilled these days, Spanish accession to the Treaty of the European Union. This does not affect us?
Oh, the Spa Europe. Not that there is nothing happening past nor are we die of boredom, not now. Things that have happened in Europe in these three decades. Its leaders are now looking to get rid of the ball hot Greece behold, the storied Greece should be (the History likes melodramatic symbolism). Meanwhile, Greek leaders as they try to gain time to see if other European people, not their leaders, they take us more aware of what we are playing now in the Union.
A Europe that does not think the floods of refugees confront political and social that already exceed the numbers of refugees from World War II. Oh Europe.
The screens appear as who does not want the thing, as if they were the most significant moment of the images Spa Europe Hotel war for tourist apartments in Barcelona, Paris pitched battle between taxi drivers pie tourism and civilization (?) of leisure, which are in the summer, farmers who harvested a fruit that Europe is not interested in the Spa ...
What say the resort, in a Catalonia indepe?
It might be time to talk about it seriously, so that among electoral list to do and undo, no talking to voters how they would.
