During 1976 and 1977 Jordi Valls recorded live on nine audio cassettes some of the early punk gigs in London. These tapes, featuring The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, Subway Sect, Billy Idol & Generation X, The Slits and Buzzcocks, capture the true sound of punk — raw, countercultural and subversive — as a phenomenon that had a radical impact on popular music and fashion, first in Britain and America, and then worldwide.

The exhibition BARCELÓ BEFORE BARCELÓ, 1973-1982 presents a selection of the early and largely little-known work of Miquel Barceló (Felanitx, 1957), dating from 1973 until the year of his breakthrough on the international art scene with his participation in the Kassel Documenta in 1982. The main purpose of the exhibition is to showcase a set of over a hundred works, many never seen in public before now, which offer an early glimpse of some of the most significant and enduring traits of Barceló’s subsequent artistic development. The pictures on show are from Barceló’s own collection, from various public and private institutions of Spain and France and from private collections.

‘This good-humoured man is Guy Selz, who knows all there is to know about Paris life: exhibitions, the new plays, the latest film. He is secretary general (of Elle). His hobby: popular art. Under his arm, item number 30,000!’ This is how the man on our front cover was portrayed back in the sixties. The fact is that in the ‘Yeah Yeah’ era of pop the art object as a product of avant-garde culture (signed and unique, refined, snobbishly elitist, appealing to a minority, and expensive) and the popular object (anonymous and off-the-peg, demotic, credulous, unsophisticated kitsch for the common people, and cheap) came together in modern mass culture. The middle classes — self-assured and cultured, cosmopolitan, progressive and protofeminist — actively embraced the consumer dynamics and the tastes of a revamped feel-good capitalism happy and its dream of technology. Popular culture was to provide the domestic appliances and the prêt-à-porter of avant-garde art.

In de thematic shifts that “Arts Santa Mònica” makes each season, the most recent devoted to narrativities”, we now present the exhibition and book Virtual Societies/Gamers Edition. This is the result of the research and a series of updates and selections by the art critic, Ricard Mas, constructed at the historic crossroads between sources and narrative innovation in video games. He portrays a cultural transformation, from a screen projected for a single reader to a shared creation online and to massively consumed role-playing games. This technoscientific jump, led by physis, has fully influenced artistic visual approach and new fiction in two ways: in games of great complexity connected to an individual brain, and in games that build a social brain online.

After the fall of Barcelona, in the last months of the Spanish Civil War the photojournalist Agustí Centelles was interned together with other refugees in French territory in the concentration camp at Bram, Languedoc, where he was held from the 1st of March to the 13th of September, 1939.
During the flight from Barcelona and his subsequent internment and release from the concentration camp, Centelles wrote a diary, which has now been published. He also took more than 600 photographs documenting life in the concentration camp, of the most striking expressive power, unique testimony to life in a concentration camp in 20th-century Europe. The book presents a selection of the photographs that Centelles took in Bram, together with entries from his diary and documents relating to the setting up and running of the camp.

The work of Mireia Sentís reveals the myriad, criss-crossed paths along which contemporary creation has travelled in recent decades. From New York to Barcelona and Madrid, Sentís has combined her photographic work with journalism in the press and television, exhibition curation, art criticism and essay writing. She set off on this journey in New York in the 1970s, which provided her with freedom of movement and action, a curiosity for means, themes and formats, cosmopolitanism and interest in in-depth learning about cultures she never saw as minorities, but rather always as constituent parts of her living environment

Frequencies is an exhibition project in three installations: Frequencies, Colour Wheel and Labyrinth. Frequencies is the installation that acts as prologue to and gives its name to the project, which sets out to explore the behaviour of the elements of the periodic table in relation to light. In other words, it is both a dynamic journey through the visible spectrum of colours and a tribute to the primary elements of which matter is composed. Colour Wheel is centred on the capacity of colours to represent and order reality. Labyrinth explores the behaviour of light throughout the course of the day in a space with an exceptionally rigorous and complex geometry, an emblematic Barcelona landmark.

The exhibition 'Architectures without Place (1968-2008)' presents a series of works that either were never built or no longer exist: a vast field which ranges from theoretical speculations, visionary prefigurings and ideas competitions to modified projects, ephemeral installations and botched buildings. This variegated realm of the unbuilt (or of the now non-existent) allows us to analyse the conceptual heritage of a long period of Catalan cultural history; in other words, it lets us dissect forty years of architecture produced locally, highlighting the prevailing ideas at each step of the way. This is a heterogeneous field of project design in which converge other disciplines fuelled by a powerful desire to articulate and transform space: comics, theatre, film, ephemeral installations and the visual arts in general

MIRÓ/DUPIN. Art i Poesia brings to light the considerable impact that Catalan poetry and avant-garde poetry (from the classics to the Surrealists) had on the aesthetics and the art of Joan Miró. Of note among those who worked with Miró is Jacques Dupin, a highly gifted poet with a unique voice and an acclaimed authority on Miró’s life and work. A brief selection of Dupin’s poems is presented here in Catalan translation.
