Barcelona Citineraries
BARCELONA CITINERARIES Montjuïc & Miró I am located in the former Palace of Graphic Arts which was built in Montjuïc, in Barcelona, for the 1929 World’s Fair. The permanent exhibits illustrate the evolution of Catalonia and its environment during Prehistory and Ancient History. The collections are organized based on chronological and geographic criteria, and ofer visitors a journey to the origins of Catalonia, from the frst inhabitants until the Middle Ages providing also a vision of diferent related cultures from other areas of the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean. This exhibition reconstructs the creative process behind Miró's book based on a collection of poems by Paul Éluard. The layout and execution of À toute épreuve is a refection of Miró's connection with the poets of the 1920s, which led to major transformations in his visual language. With this book, published by Gérald Cramer in 1958, Miró fulflled his wish to venture beyond illustrating the poet's words and end up creating an object. THE THEFT OF THE BESTIARY Valuable 12th – century manuscript page stolen from the Palau Nacional of Montjuïc, constructed for the International Exposition of 1929. In 1934 the Museu d'Art de Catalunya opened its doors, bringing together the medieval collection. In 1995, then as the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, the new rooms of Romanesque art were inaugurated. The page was cut from a medieval manuscript magnificently illustrated with all sorts of animals. How to play: • Go to the Romanesque Art Collections • Follow the clues and search the exhibition rooms for the 16 animals painted on the missing page • Interpret the coded mobile message to find out the page Barcelona's biggest ornamental fountain, which was built in 1929 for the International Exhibition, ofers a spectacular display of music, water acrobatics and lights which generate over 50 kinds of shades and hues. -

This year, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Fundació Joan Miró, Centre d’Estudis d’Art Contemporani which was designed and built as a result of Joan Miró’s explicit wishes, his generosity, and his gift for establishing alliances and mutual understanding. The Fundació started out with the energy and enthusiasm of a small but remarkable group of people from Miró’s inner circle, together with a core original team. In the four decades that followed, the Fundació, its Board of Trustees, and its management and staff –which now consists of more than seventy professionals–, have remained true to the founding spirit while adapting to the new times against the changing backdrop of Barcelona and the world. -

Batista i Roca, founder member of the Anglo-Catalan Society and its first Honorary Life President, always hoped that the Society would at some stage be able to publish some of the work of its members and guest speakers. Unfortunately this was never possible during his lifetime, but now that the Society, with the help of a grant from Omnium Cultural, is undertaking the publication of Occasional Papers it seems appropriate that this Series as a whole should be dedicated to the fond memory which the Society holds of him.

Itinerari Per La Barcelona De Joan Miró És Un Recorregut Sobre Universitat Obres De Barcelona 07 Plànol Que Es Pot Fer a Peu, Amb Metro O Amb Bicicleta
CATALÀ Itinerari per la B la per Itinerari a r celona de Joan Miró Joan de celona neix el 1893 a Barce- MIRÓlona, al nucli històric de la ciutat, entre la Rambla i la Plaça Sant Jaume, a prop del barri gòtic. La seva infantesa transcorre entre el bullici i el tràfec d’un dels carrers més cosmopolites del món i el pes històric d’un barri on es concen- tren la catedral, l’Ajuntament i el Palau de la Generalitat. Aquest itinerari és un recorre- gut per alguns dels indrets que Joan Miró va freqüentar quan era un nen, i també pels llocs on es va formar com a artista i com a per- sona. Per al jove Miró, Barcelona és també les pintures romàniques que aleshores visitava al Museu de Belles Arts, o el trencadís de Gau- dí; és la ciutat d’on surt per anar a París, Mont-roig o Palma, i la que l’acull quan torna; la ciutat on viuen alguns dels amics d’aquells primers anys, amb qui compartia taller, classes de dibuix o es di- vertia als locals del Paral·lel i del Barri Xino. Barcelona és la ciutat on ha nascut i Miró vol deixar-hi la seva empremta. «El meu propòsit per Barcelona, com a donació, seria: a l’aeroport, la benvinguda a la gent que arribi per l’aire; per terra, monument de 30 m a la gent que ve per carrete- ra (actualment escultura Dona i ocell ubicada al Parc Joan Miró); Mosaic al Pla de l’Os, a les Ram- bles, per la gent que arriba per mar i entra a la ciutat, i Centre d’Estudis d’Art Contemporani, Fundació Joan Miró, com a porta oberta vers al futur, d’intercanvi cultural internacional, amb la meva fe absoluta que Catalunya té un gran paper a jugar en el món de demà.» www.fundaciomiro-bcn.org Joan Miró, Anotacions, 1971. -
Critical Inquiries Into Catalan Cultures Syllabus
Critical Inquiries into Catalan Cultures NUMBER MEETING TIME ROOM NUMBER Instructor: Prof. Aurélie Vialette Office: Hagerty Hall 277 Phone number: 688 1482 Email: [email protected] Office hours: by appointment. COURSE DESCRIPTION The relationship between culture and politics in the development of Catalonia (or, better say, Catalan countries, “Països Catalans”) is not accidental, but fundamental. Therefore, this course examines this relationship, through critical analysis, of Catalan political history as it relates to its social and cultural history. The course will provide students with the basic intercultural skills and necessary knowledge to be able to understand the specificities of Catalan cultures. We will address the ideological, linguistic, and political difficulties of defining Catalan cultures as separate from other cultures of other autonomous communities in the Iberian Peninsula. We will also discuss the current political debate surrounding Catalonia’s independence. This debate will be presented through a variety of methods and activities designed to enhance cultural awareness and critical thinking in students. Classes will include lectures, discussions, audio-visual material, students presentations and guest speakers. READINGS Books that you need to buy Hughes, Robert. Barcelona. Vintage Books, 1992.
