Guided tour of the Jaume Plensa exhibition at MACBA

March 28 OF 2019 from 06:00 PM to 08:00 PM

Jaume Plensa (Barcelona, 1955). An artist working with materials, feelings and ideas. His references include literature, particularly poetry, music, religion and thinking. Above all, he regards himself as a sculptor, although his creative process has embraced many different disciplines. His works focus on the actual state of being: one’s physical and spiritual essence, one’s awareness of oneself and one’s past, one’s moral codes and beliefs and one’s relationship with nature. The things that cannot be explained are precisely what explain people. The aim is not to make objects, but to develop relationships and include everyone in them.

The exhibition at the MACBA features works from the 1980s to recent times, in a journey that reveals the dialogue arising between works that depict the human figure and abstract works. This tension is the common denominator running through the artist’s entire work, a corpus that highlights the power of opposites such as lightweight / heavy, light / darkness, silence / noise, spirit / matter and life / death.

Jaume Plensa, one of the most internationally acclaimed Catalan sculptors is famous around the world for his public work in the cities of Chicago, London, Montreal, Nice, Tokyo, Toronto and Vancouver. His awards include the Generalitat National Plastic Arts Award (1997), the Velázquez Plastic Arts Award of the Ministry of Education and Culture (2013) and the City of Barcelona Award (2015).
