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.

La Barcelona de Jujol Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi
The Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi hosts La Barcelona de Jujol, an exhibition that highlights the figure of Josep Maria Jujol (1879–1949), one of the freest and most singular creators of the 20th century, and the city that shaped his career. An architect, artist and teacher, Jujol experienced first-hand the transformation of Barcelona: from Modernisme to the avant-gardes, from the walled city to the modern metropolis, and from the destruction of the Civil War to the reconstruction of its heritage.
The exhibition unfolds across two key spaces within the church: the Baptistery, dedicated to Jujol's intervention in homage to Saint Joaquina de Vedruna, and the New Sacristy, which presents the results of the research project La Barcelona de Jujol. The reconstruction of the Pi rose window, designed by Jujol after the fire of 1936, becomes one of the central threads of the exhibition, alongside his teaching work, his dialogue with the avant-gardes and his imprint on Ciutat Vella. An opportunity to rediscover Jujol and to look at Barcelona with fresh eyes.
