Visit to the new rooms on Art and the Spanish Civil War at the MNAC: Pavilion of the Spanish Republic

Coinciding with the exhibition Goshka Macuga. In Flux, which features an appendix dedicated to the replica of the Pavilion of the Spanish Republic built in Barcelona on the occasion of the 1992 Olympic Games, we are offering a visit to the new rooms on Art and the Spanish Civil War at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC).

The Museum has expanded the number of rooms in the permanent collection of modern art dedicated to art produced during the period of the Spanish Civil War (1936–39). One of the rooms is dedicated to the Pavilion of the Spanish Republic that was part of the International Exposition of 1937, in Paris. Exhibited here are a significant number of works that featured in the original Pavilion, plus a projection of photographs of the building designed by Josep Lluís Sert and Luis Lacasa.

Conducted by Eduard Vallés, keeper of the Museum and curator of the exhibition, the visit will complement other activities around The Nature of the Beast, 2010, by Goshka Macuga, such as a talk on the reconstruction of the Pavilion by the architect María José Ballester, and a visit to the actual replica in the district of Horta. 

Within the framework of the cycle Revisions.

Activity in collaboration with the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC).
