A festival is part of a landscape, a system, a fabric. It is an exceptional moment that is connected with the artistic life of the City, which links with what happens the rest of the year, which serves as a window to show everything that has been cooking and that dialogues with its talent, with its citi- zens and with your questions. We are committed to creating a model that is attractive not only for its -necessary- rooster of invited figures, but also for the artistic value, for a set of national and international alliances and for its rigor and coherence. For us it will be a priority to weave relationships with all those artists, festivals or artistic events that are offering a possible response of interest to those relevant topics that we are all concerned about.

Barcelona has its own gay neighborhood (the bustling "Gaixample" district) as well as its own beach resort town (Sitges), a half-hour train-ride away. The gayborhood is bordered by Carrer de Balmes and Gran Via de los Cortes Catalanes, and much of its gay-friendly shopping, dining and nightlife lies along Carrer de Diputaci.

  • NYU Madrid ARTH-UA.9417 Art and Social Movements in Spain 1888- 1939
    NYU Madrid ARTH-UA.9417 Art and Social Movements in Spain 1888- 1939 Instructor Information ● Name: Julia Doménech ● Office hours: Tuesdays: 7.30-8.30pm ● Email address: [email protected] Course Description This survey examines the major artists and institutions that shaped the development of modern art in Spain from 1888, the date of Barcelona's Universal Exposition, to the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The course takes as its working model the complex question of art's relation to social movements, including: the rising tides of cultural and political nationalism in the Basque and Catalan regions; the Colonial Disaster of 1898 and the question of national regeneration; the impact of fin-del-siglo anarchist and workers’ movements; the rise of authoritarian politics with the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera; and the ideological struggles and social violence unleashed during the Spanish Civil War. Class sessions examine the complex roles played by some of Spain's most prominent artists and architects -- Antoni Gaudí, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Luis Buñuel, Josep Lluís Sert, and Salvador Dalí -- and their multivalent responses to modernization, political instability, and social praxis. ● Co-requisite or prerequisite: N/A ● Class meeting days and times: Tuesdays 4.30-7.20 pm Desired Outcomes Upon Completion of this Course, students will be able to: ● Providing students with a working knowledge of the development of modern art in Spain. Page 1 ● Exploring the complex and highly mediated relations that obtain between art and politics in relation to both progressive and conservative/reactionary social movements.
