Free weekly guided tours of the current exhibitions at La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, in Catalan and Spanish:
FACING THE IMAGE
Is the first exhibition of works by Chantal Akerman entirely conceived by her close collaborator and editor Claire Atherton. It offers us a journey through visual and audio material installed in the space, inviting each visitor to find his or her own path through an open-endend encounter with the image.
IN PRAISE OF ASYLUM
The exhibition presents the collective, experimental attempts undertaken by Fernand Deligny to enable ‘maladapted’ children to live a life that involved more than being diagnosed, locked up, or re-educated. For Deligny, writing—the asylum par excellence—served as the indispensable laboratory for his practice as an educator
This project is exhibited simultaneously at two venues: centre d'arts Santa Mònica and La Virreina Centre de la Imatge.
