About Casa Planas

The Casa Planas Center for Artistic Research and Contemporary Culture is committed to restoring the old Casa Planas photography factory for the city of Palma. The unused space is used to restore the history and collective memories of the factory, then creating a platform for experimentation, research and creativity.

Casa Planas opened its doors as an independent center for research and artistic creation in 2015. Casa Planas is an energetic creative center, connecting a variety of workshops such as: photographic laboratory, screen printing, writing, new technologies, or contemporary art and critical thinking. It provides a recording studio, a concert hall, dance and performing arts laboratories, a radio studio, rehearsal and recording rooms, artist studios and shared creation spaces, among other non-classifiable activities.

Through a plurality of disciplines and a permeable system, we focus on the contemporary image and support creative processes by offering resources to encourage creation. We focus on institutional and academic powers, artistic circles and citizens intending to reformulate and reflect on a comprehensive vision of artistic practice.

A bout the Planas Archive

Josep Planas i Montanyà was regarded as the primary photographer of Balearic Islands’ imagery in the 50s and 60s tourist boom. A tireless producer and collector, he pioneered the industrial production of postcards and aerial photography. Born in , the photographic entrepreneur and founder of Casa Planas remained in Mallorca, captivated by its landscape, which he immortalized. He was the first European photographer to purchase a helicopter to shoot aerial photography. He created a monopoly of commercially printed postcards, selling thousands every year, spreading his images of the island around the world.

Josep Planas opened his first specialized photography store on Colón Street in 1947. The store evolved into a company that would have more than 15 establishments. Casa Planas produced millions of images in a time when more than 700 annual reports were produced annually. The Casa Planas Archive is full of filing cabinets, photographs, negatives, photoliths, slides, transparencies and postcards that add up to more than 4,000,000 images and more than 2,000 cameras of different brands and models that he used and collected.

Through his archive we can monitor the urban and rural landscape, tourism and social transformation of those years. His camera captured the culture of mass tourism, folkloric images of regular family events, including weddings of well-off local families and sports, even commercial reports from the hotel sector. Planas photographed almost every corner of our geography.

Planas was published on the covers of Arte Fotográfico, Baleares, Fotogramas, Fiesta Deportiva, Serra d'Or, La Vanguardia, local newspapers and was also a correspondent for Televisión Española. He photographed prominent figures such as Blai Bonet, Camilo José Cela, Robert Graves, Miró, Joan Fontaine, Errol Flynn, Charles Chaplin, Grace Kelly, Lana Turner, and the visits of Franco (1955), Juan Carlos I de Borbón (1953) and Fraga Iribarne.

His passion for collecting allowed him to gather a very important legacy of old photographs and postcards, as well as a wide collection of priceless gadgets and accessories related to his professional practice: rarities, early animations, Chinese shadows, daguerreotypes, zoetropes, magical lanterns...

Today, the survival of the Planas Archive is at risk. The conservation and cataloguing conditions need sufficient social and institutional support to guarantee access to the catalogue by every citizen.

About the Grant’s Program

ART INVESTIGATION PROGRAMME

The residency program emerged in 2017 to promote artistic research and production platforms in the context of creation.

The project is an innovative way to create or use archives, memory and heritage. Its projects focus from an interdisciplinary, dialogical and active perspective in the construction of history, from the local-global and the intimate- collective binomials.

The proposal arose from the original idea by Marina Planas, artist and researcher. She wanted the Planas Archive as a platform for experimentation and research not only of her own artistic production, but also for more artists to continue awakening new discourses and approaches.

So far, the following artists have participated: Esther Olondriz, Laura Marte, Neus Marroig, La Periférica, Marc Caellas y Esteban Feuné de Colombí, Platform Harakat, Margalida Roig, José Cruz, Marina Planas, Miquel García, Daniel Gasol, Ángela Bonadies, Sa Galanía, Pedro G. Romero and Joan Fontcuberta.

3 About FotoLimo

FotoLimo (landlimo means border in Esperanto) is a cross-border festival of photography and visual arts. The prime focus is the concept of borders, in its broadest sense. The festival takes place between the towns of Cerbère (France) and Portbou (Catalonia) during the second half of September.

After four consecutive festivals, we continue to promote artistic creation, education, and research around this concept. The subjects are as diverse as migration, gender, body, social fractures or landscape, always with a creative and transformative perspective.

In this context, FotoLimo is the only European-wide cross-border photography and visual arts festival to be held in a double location around the French-Catalan border. The interdisciplinary high-quality program is managed by a team with both a social and artistic background.

The festival integrates exhibitions, screenings, conferences and workshops by both established and emerging authors, with the aim of offering a space for reflection for at all kinds of audiences, and with the objective of generating new tools and perspectives in order to conceive the border as a space of bond, not of separation.

FotoLimo is the union of three structures from the region of Occitania: NegPos, PhotOeil and Lumière d’Encre. All have a long history and experience in the dissemination of photography and cultural management. FotoLimo has evolved, acquiring a new structure, integrating French, Catala and Spanish actors in the same organization in order to reflect on the concept of border through image, from a critical and cross-border perspective.

In this way, FotoLimo wants to establish itself in the area long term, promoting a cultural and economic link between two cross-border territories, to promote the rich human, cultural and historical heritage of the area. Every festival creates new collaborations, generating new proposals within the academic and cultural field, spreading beyond the exhibition format through research, residencies, workshops and publications.

4 Pyrenees–Mediterranean Euroregion

The Pyrenees–Mediterranean Euroregion, founded on October 29, 2004, is a political cooperation between Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and Occitanie.

The aim of the project is to create sustainable development in the northwestern Mediterranean region based on innovation and the social and economic integration of the territory, contributing to the construction of a united, solidarity- based Europe attuned to the concerns of its citizens.

Its challenges are: to assert itself as a territory for projects at a European level, to defend with one voice essential projects for balanced and sustainable development, to improve its international competitiveness by placing people at the heart of the action, and to become a focus of innovation and growth thanks to woven ties between technological, scientific and cultural centers.

The headquarters of the Euroregion is in Perpignan:

El Centre del Món, 1st floor 35 boulevard Saint-Assiscle CS 32032 66011 Perpignan Cedex France Tel. (+33) 448 22 22 34 [email protected]
