Out of Frame CaixaFòrum Barcelona
Goya's Black Paintings and Rembrandt's The Night Watch are two well-known masterpieces. Now, the exhibition Out of Frame at the Caixaforum Barcelona offers an unprecedented approach to them thanks to two audiovisuals that have recently become part of the Contemporary Art Collection of the "la Caixa" Foundation. The two video installations by Rineke Dijkstra and Philippe Parreno have one element in common: both are based on interaction with the public. The video installation Night Watching by Rineke Dijkstra captures the various comments of the audience observing Rembrandt's The Night Watch, although the Dutch painter's work is never seen on screen. Philippe Parreno's immersive film La quinta del sordo takes place in the house where Goya created his black paintings to recreate a space that no longer exists. Undoubtedly, an original and fiercely contemporary way of approaching traditional art.

Ubu the Painter Alfred Jarry and the Arts Museu Picasso
The Museu Picasso in Barcelona presents Ubú the Painter. Alfred Jarry and the Arts, an exhibition that examines the influence and impact of Alfred Jarry's work on art and literature from the end of the 19th century through to the present day. A careful selection of works by contemporary artists as well as later figures, including David Hockney, Robert Wilson and William Kentridge, allows the exhibition to highlight the connections between this French playwright and creators from his inner circle, such as Henri Rousseau, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and Joan Miró.
Jarry, creator of the iconic Ubu Roi in 1896, profoundly influenced the avant-garde of the 20th century. His satirical and provocative vision inspired movements such as Surrealism and Dadaism, which saw in him a pivotal figure when it came to breaking with established norms. The exhibition traces this impact through paintings, engravings and documents that reveal how his legacy lives on in contemporary art.
An exhibition that merges theater, literature and visual arts, celebrating Jarry as a forerunner of modern thought and an influential cultural agitator.
