An exhibition that explores the contributions made by the peoples of the Mediterranean Basin, who changed our way of understanding the world forever

MEDITERRANEAN From Myth to Reason

From the Middle East to Egypt and then to Greece and, later, to Rome, the Mediterranean provided the route for the communication of beliefs, ideas, knowledge and cultural forms whose influence extends even to our day. Mediterranean. From Myth to Reason , the latest archaeological exhibition organised by ”la Caixa” Foundation, brings together an exceptional selection of works from Greco-Latin Antiquity to illustrate a central theme: the creation of the European spirit. The show explores the development of thought from the 6th century BC to the 4th century AD through 165 Greek and Roman works —sculptures, reliefs, ceramic, frescoes, mosaics and jewellery from European museums, including outstanding public collections in Greece and Italy. These pieces illustrate the from a Mediterranean explained through the mythical voyages of Ulysses, Jason and Heracles —a Mediterranean hero revered by most peoples in the region— to the organisation of the human space by Greek colonial cities and a concept of man, imbued with a soul, who takes on the virtues and trials of the ancient heroes that survive in our collective imagination. The exhibition forms part of an innovative project launched by ”la Caixa” Foundation to carry out in-depth research into the past, present and future of the Mediterranean from different viewpoints, and which will be completed by another show staged simultaneously at CosmoCaixa Barcelona.

Mediterranean. From Myth to Reason . Organised and produced by : ”la Caixa” Foundation. Curated by : Pedro Azara, Professor of Aesthetics at Barcelona School of Architecture, in cooperation with Gregorio Luri, philosopher. Place : CaixaForum Barcelona (Av. de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, 6-8). Dates : from 28 February to 15 June 2014.

2 Barcelona, 27 February 2014. At CaixaForum Barcelona this evening, Jaime Lanaspa, General Manager of ”la Caixa” Foundation, Maria Andreadaki-Vlazaki, Director General of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage, Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Hellenic Republic, Maria Lagogianni-Georgakarakos, Director of Museums, Exhibitions and Educational Programmes, Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Hellenic Republic, and Pedro Azara, Professor of Aesthetics and Art Theory at the School of Architecture, Polytechnic University of (ETSAB-UPC) and exhibition curator, will officially open the exhibition Mediterranean. From Myth to Reason .

The mission pursued by the exhibitions that ”la Caixa” Foundation has dedicated over the years to the great cultures of the past is to enable audiences to discover ways in which men and women from different places and times have attempted to resolve the great universal questions, and to broaden our understanding of the world through studies of the most recent historical and archaeological research.

To this end, shows focusing on such topics as the Sumerians, the Etruscans, the Teotihuacan culture, the Persian Empire and treasures from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have highlighted the ties between Antiquity and today’s world, presenting culture as a living phenomenon, the fruit of knowledge and exchanges between peoples.

Mediterranean. From Myth to Reason joins this long list of exhibitions organised by ”la Caixa” Foundation in recent years to present the Greek and Roman world from an extraordinarily close-up perspective, reflecting the contradictions and aspirations of men and women today.

In a period of globalisation in which the world Head of Plato. 14-37 AD. Copy of a Greek original made in around 340 BC. economy and decision-taking centres have been © Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek of Munich displaced to new geographic areas, Mediterranean landscape and culture continue to stand as a universal reference. Through a truly exceptional selection of artworks, the exhibition highlights values that, between the 6th century BC and the 4th AD, created a new way of understanding the world in what was a crucial landmark in the evolution of human history. Mediterranean. From Myth to Reason was curated by Pedro Azara, Professor of Aesthetics at Barcelona School of Architecture, with the cooperation of the philosopher Gregorio Luri with regard to the exhibition concept.

3 The past, present and future of Mare Nostrum are joined in this ambitious and innovative project launched by ”la Caixa” Foundation. In this project, the cultural and philosophical focus at CaixaForum Barcelona is complemented by the scientific and environmentalist vision that underlies Mediterranean. Our Sea as You Have Never Seen It . This show, which opens parallel to From Myth to Reason at CosmoCaixa Barcelona, builds up a vision of this sea since its origins, exploring its biological and geological peculiarities. The show also comprises a meditation on present relations between humans and the sea, and on its sustainability.

The Mediterranean: an essential physical and mental place in European development

The Mediterranean portrayed in the exhibition portrays is an imaginary or mental space this superimposed over the physical space. This is a place where a succession of different civilisations generated new concepts of the world, ideas that have been key to forming European cultural values.

During the first millennium before Christ, a series of cultures —Phoenician, Greek, Ionian, Tyrrhenian, Carthaginian, Roman— developed that shared their vision of the world. These Plato’s Academy. 110-80 BC. Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli. © cultures share in common their life on the Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo. Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici di banks of the sea, and for this reason the Napoli e Pompei exhibition —divided into four sections— begins by narrating the voyages that generated the founding myths.

The show then delves into the history of ideas to suggest three contributions that emerged from the Ancient Middle East, Greece and Rome and changed the way people related to the world:

≡ In opposition to the omnipotence of the gods of the ancient world, a new philosophical concept emerged that placed men at the centre and championed rationality. ≡ The cities began to organise around a common central space that fostered dialogue and exchanges of goods and ideas: the agora. This development led to the emergence of a new political system: democracy. ≡ A new concept of the person was forged to replace the warrior’s strength

4 with the philosopher’s interior strength. The soul and individuality began to take shape.

A journey through the history of thought in 165 works

One of the most outstanding features of this exhibition is the selection of works and the interplay of associations between these 165 pieces that, apart from their artistic quality, also stand as testimonies to ideas, visions of reality, aspirations and desires.

Mediterranean. From Myth to Reason features a total of 165 works from 32 institutions, mostly Greek and Italian museums. In terms of numbers of works included in the show, the most important of these institutions include, particularly, the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli and Attic lekythos with a funeral preparation scene in the the Skulpturensammlung, Staatliche Kunstsammlung of Gynaeceum. Athenian painter. 470-460 BC. National Dresden. The pieces from Greek museums were included Archaeological Museum of Athens. © Hellenic Ministry of into the exhibition thanks to the kind cooperation of the Culture and Sports / Archaeological Receipts Fund Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Hellenic Republic and the Greek Embassy in .

The exhibition is completed by a large-scale virtual reconstruction of the agora in democratic Athens, produced using computer animation techniques. The model was made for ”la Caixa” Foundation by the architects Eric Rusiñol and Marc Marín. In it, a virtual reconstruction of buildings and monuments from the 5th-4th centuries BC is superimposed over the present archaeological site, which was scanned using photogrammetric techniques. These sites include, for example, the seats of legislative and executive power, the monument to the Eponymous Heroes, the Royal Portico, the Mint and the Temple of Hephaestus. The projection also includes modern-day film footage and photographs in order to establish a relation between the past and the present.

The exhibition is also marked by the publication of a catalogue (Editorial Tenov), containing texts by the curator, Pedro Azara, and by Carlos García Gual, Maria Lagogianni-Georgakarakos, Gregorio Luri and Josep Montserrat Torrents.

5 ”la Caixa” Foundation has also organised a large programme of activities parallel to the exhibition. These include Mediterranean, Yesterday and Today , a season of four concerts fusing different latitudes and periods, all bathed by Mare Nostrum . There will also be a film season, entitled In Search of Hidden Myths , linking various mythical figures and their interpretation in the world of celluloid.

The curator Pedro Azara will also coordinate a season of lectures, The Mediterranean. From the Enigmas of Statue of Eros and Psyche.

EXHIBITION SECTIONS

MYTHOLOGY The Voyages that Founded the Mediterranean

In the beginning of time, the cosmos was an enigma symbolised by threatening figures against whom it was impossible to fight. The Mediterranean was full of sea monsters and angry gods who unleashed storms. The sea was a place of perdition. However, the idea of the voyage was an invitation that some found impossible to resist.

Sea voyages were simpler and safer than journeys across a land that was infested with even greater perils. Terrifying creatures such as the Bull of Statue of Young Heracles. 350- Marathon, the Nemean Lion and the huge Erymanthian 325 BC. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. © Hellenic Boar haunted the coastal lands. As Plato expressed it: Ministry of Culture and Sports / Archaeological Receipts Fund “We who dwell between the Pillars of Hercules and the

6 River Phasis live in a small part of it about the sea, like ants or frogs about a pond”.

On the banks of the sea, life was pleasant. However, it was control of the waters, rather than of the cultivated land, that marked the level of development of a culture. Human beings were civilised to the extent that they could tame the horses that pulled the chariot of Poseidon, king of the seas. Similarly, seafaring cities like Athens were great and “virtuous”, as Sophocles notes in one of his tragedies about unhappy Oedipus.

THE COSMOS The world’s enigmas

In Antiquity, the cosmos was an enigma. It was considered the dwelling-place of the gods, whose stories are told in the myths, created in order to explain the origin and development of the world inhabited by humans.

The Sphinx was sent to humans by the gods. This creature was a hybrid being with a seductive female face and the body of a winged lion, with claws and a tail with the head of a serpent. Sitting at the gates of Thebes, the Sphinx asked travellers riddles that could only be resolved by thought. Correctly answering her deceptive riddles was the equivalent of bravely facing the mysteries of the world and the human being through thought.

In around the 6th century BC, on the Ionian coasts and in Magna Graecia, men’s question about the cosmos changed: the problem was no longer “how it happened”, answered by reference to transcendent explanations about the creation, but “what made it”, the elements and roots of the world. Accordingly, the heroes of this new era were philosophers and historians, who delved into the darkness cast by the Sphinx, not only to recount what they saw, but also to seek reasons that would explain things and to try to resolve the enigmas of the world.

THE COMMON SPACE The city of dialogue

In the late-7th century BC, after long centuries of monarchy and oligarchic government, a regime of tyrannies was imposed in Athens with the support of the poorer classes, weary of the abuses perpetrated by the aristocracy and the priest-kings. As a result of the great political and social crisis that occurred in the late-6th century BC, a series of reformers, from Solon to Pericles, made profound changes that culminated in the installation of democracy.

7

Equality before the law, political equality and freedom of expression were the basic principles of Athenian democracy. Citizens had the right to propose, decide and vote on issues of legislation, economics, religion, home affairs, war and peace. Thanks to the system of drawing lots, they had the possibility of judging in courts or taking on a post in the city government.

This democratic period was when Athens most flourished. The system suffered its ups and downs and the occasional coup, but it nevertheless survived until the year 322 BC, when Macedonia conquered Greece and the monarchy was restored. Democracy would not appear in the world again until the French Revolution.

THE INDIVIDUAL The mystery of the soul

In Archaic Greece, the soul ( psyche in Greek) was nothing more than an inconsistent spectral being that shrieked like a bat when death deprived it of its bodily support, considered the true self of man. The spirit had no value as, after death, it was condemned to live in the underworld.

Concern about the soul appeared between the 7th Masculine Portrait. First half of the 1st and 5th century BC. Pherecydes of Syros, a century AD. Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli. © Ministero dei contemporary of the “Seven Sages” and, possibly, the Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo. Soprintendenza per i Beni teacher of Pythagoras, was the first western author to Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei champion the soul’s independence and immortality.

For Socrates, understanding and tending to the soul was absolutely crucial. Hippocrates, the man who joined philosophy and medicine, posed the most important question that we can ask ourselves: “What is man?”, whilst Heraclitus gave us the expression that complements this question: “I went in search of myself”.

In the 1st century AD, Plutarch wrote that ethical virtue was to be found in the excellence of human conduct, reminding us that Pythagoras had already discovered that this was only possible by properly educating the different parts of the soul.

8 Epilogue: the last voyage of Ulysses

In the 5th BC, Homer and Hesiod’s narratives about the gods’ cruel treatment of man were considered acceptable as long as they were not interpreted literally, but as allegories of the vicissitudes of the soul during its journey in the World. Episodes like the Labours of Hercules or Poseidon’s punishment of Ulysses for destroying the walls of Troy and harming his son Polyphemus began to be read as accurate images of the challenges that the soul face in life.

In the early-4th century BC, Prodicus of Ceos recounted that even Heracles, who personified human strength and spirit, had doubted between continuing along the harsh, painful path of virtue or succumbing to the tempting path of pleasure. This choice would determine the fate of humanity. We may wonder over the wisdom of his decision.

Both the Trials of Heracles and the voyages of Ulysses happened in another time, before historic time. However, towards the end of the Age of Antiquity they became a metaphor for the uncertainties of the soul. Myth ceased to narrate extraordinary adventures about supernatural beings to speak of the inner life and to focus on the life experiences of ordinary human beings.

THE MEDITERRANEAN, YESTERDAY AND TODAY: FROM THE SARDINIAN POLYPHONIC SINGING TO THE NEW ARABIC PROTEST SONG Music season

Price per concert: €12 (50% discount for ”la Caixa” clients: places limited)

As another parallel activity, a programme of four concerts has been organised, fusing different latitudes and periods, all bathed by Mare Nostrum . From the Archaic age, with the thousand-year-old Sardinian canto a tenore, to the most contemporary times, with one of the singers who have put their voices to the recent Arab Spring rebellions. Musical genres that have traversed the Mediterranean, sailing from port to port, like traditional Greek and Turkish sounds and music from the times of the Crusades. Together, they form a short voyage with four ports of call over that sea of musical neighbours that is the Mediterranean.

Sunday, March 9, 7.30 pm • Tenores di Bitti (Sardinia) Sardinia polyphonic song

Bassu , Omar Bandinu Contra , Marco Serra Oche , mesu oche , Bachisio Pira Oche , mesu oche , Arcangelo Pittudu

To speak of the canto a tenore from central Sardinia is to speak of one of the most ancient musical traditions in the Mediterranean region. This thousand- year-old genre probably formed part of a series of vocal traditions present in other areas of Mare Nostrum , but has only been conserved on the islands: Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, Majorca, Crete… Sardinian polyphonic singing is a fascinating style, and the group Tenores di Bitti are amongst its most outstanding performers. Four singers, as demanded by tradition, that have taken this hypnotically beautiful song form around the world.

12 Sunday, March 16, 7.30 pm • Magister Petrus (Occitania-Catalonia-Sicily) In mare vitreum : music from the Roman ports of the Mediterranean

Vocals: José Pizarro Fiddle: Irantzu Zuasti Citole: Pepe Morales Luna Organetto : Cristina Alís Raurich Adufe, timbre and guimbarda: Mauricio Molina

Magister Petrus are one of the most interesting ensembles devoted to ancient music to have emerged in our country in recent years. The group’s album Vacillantis , devoted to the 12th-century love song, won them considerable acclaimed. On this occasion, they will present the programme In mare vitreum , which explores the idea of the Mediterranean through songs composed in the ports of Occitania, Catalonia and Sicily in the 11th and 12th centuries. The repertoire combines songs in Latin on the theme of the sea and the concept of the East, the ballads of troubadours and jugglers about the voyage over the sea and compositions by musicians that exercised great cultural influence in the courts of the Mediterranean with self-written pieces that seek to revive the monumental character of the Roman culture that spread all around Mare Nostrum in Antiquity.

Sunday, March 23, 7.30 pm • En Chordais (Greece-Turkey) Music from Asia Minor and Constantinople

Violin: Kyriakos Petras Oud and vocals: Kyriakos Kalaitzidis Vocals and oud: Drosos Koutsokostas Qanun: Alkis Zopoglou Cello: Emrullah Senguller Percussion: Petros Papageorgiou

The prehistory of Rebetiko: that is what the ensemble En Chordais of Thessaloniki seek to reveal to us. These winners of the prestigious Prix France Musique des Musiques du Monde in 2008 recreate the Greek music once played in cities that now form part of Turkey and can, therefore, be considered as a forerunner of the celebrated Rebetiko, the music of Greek and Turkish port taverns. The music of En Chordais rings with ancient echoes from the cities of Asia Minor —Constantinople, Smyrna (Izmir), etc.— places where different ethnic and religious groups mixed for centuries, giving rise to music that is a fascinating fusion of traditions from all over the Mediterranean.

13 Sunday, March 30, 7.30 pm • Neyssatou (Tunisia) New song from Tunisia

Vocals and electro-acoustic guitar: Badiaâ Bouhrizi, Neyssatou Violin and vocals: Wissem Ziadi Percussion and electro-acoustic guitar: Malek Ben Halim

Badiaâ Bouhrizi, better known as Neyssatou, is the leader of the Tunisian alternative scene. A multi-talented, engaged artist who was banned during the Ben Ali dictatorship, her songs fuse her delicate voice with hard-hitting lyrics, accompanied by dense classical and colloquial Arabic music blended with jazz, reggae, soul and Berber folk sounds. The success of Neyssatou, winner of the 2011 Alternative Arabic Music Prize, awarded by the prestigious cultural organisation Al Mawred Al Thaqafy, has now crossed the borders of both Tunisia and the Arab world to knock insistently on the doors of Europe.
