‘‘I travelled over 60,000 kilometres crossing the Soviet Union from Brest to Magadan and from the Arctic Circle to the border with Iran and Afghanistan; I visited each and every one of the Union republics. I lived through the most severe winters and the hottest of summers, conditions in which mere human survival represented a huge problem. I was about to give in on many occasions and returned home, only to take up the journey once again soon after.’’

25%. CATALONIA AT VENICE represented Catalan art at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 and now opens at La Virreina Image Centre. Led by the Institut Ramon Llull, this exhibition looks at the high unemployment rate in Catalonia (which gives the exhibition its title) through the eyes of the art world.

La Virreina Image Centre presents the exhibition The Non-Conformists, photographer Martin Parr’s portrait of West Yorkshire mill towns in the mid-1970s.

This project brings together a series of works expressing a conceptual and experimental vision that Gerald Van Der Kaap created at artist residencies in different places worldwide: Bangkok, Xiamen, Amsterdam and Cap de Creus.

This exhibition includes the photographic visual culture of the city of Barcelona in the last decade, not as a canon or solution, but as a space for questions: Is it possible to speak of a visual identity in Barcelona? Is it possible to speak of a different look from local photography practices that leads to a series of common representations also differentials?
