This exhibition explained how and why a new area for shows and
entertainment emerged in the city of Barcelona, and everything
that happened there during a period of over forty years. The
Paral·lel Avenue was the home of a cultural offering that was genuine and unique in Europe due to its size and singularity. It hosted
a wealth of manifestations of popular and mass culture, the result
of historical circumstances that transformed the social, economic and political landscape and established the city of Barcelona’s
footing in modernity, with all its contradictions.
What happened on the Paral·lel between the end of the 19th
century and 22 January 1939 – the day on which all the theatres of
Barcelona closed, at the end of the war – is similar to the case of
Montmartre in Paris or Broadway in New York, but it should be
emphasised that it is a unique case worldwide. Unlike these and
other international examples, the Paral·lel was an environment of
popular hegemony that, from its birth, became a genuine cultural
expression of the social and political conflict that characterised
the Barcelona of the first half of the 20th century and that generated shows with contents and formats that were perfectly differentiated, put together by the public and by the artists.
Produced in the manner of a stage-set, the exhibition showed
photographs, audiovisual materials, recovered sound documents,
books, leaflets, magazines, programmes, posters, scores, atrezzo,
costumes and diverse props. The plastic arts were a fundamental
part of the exhibition, and among other artists, the following were
featured: Isidre Nonell, Ricard Opisso, Pablo Picasso, Francesc
Domingo, Ricard Canals, Ricard Urgell, Rafael Barradas, Emili
Bosch, Ismael Smith, Jaume Pasarell, Josep Brangulí and Gabriel
Casas.

Coinciding with the sixth biennial edition of Kosmopolis, the exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003” was presented, as a tribute
to the Chilean writer on the tenth anniversary of his death.
The project was conceived based around three thematic focal
points that express some of the keys of the creative universe of the
author of The Savage Detectives. The first defined a specific geography by way of three localities, where Roberto Bolaño created
nearly all of his work, the second presented his creative chronology and the third recreated an existential landscape.
The exhibition route took as a base these thematic cores and
developed them through a prologue, an essential reference to the
years he lived in Mexico, and three precise phases: The Unknown
University (Barcelona 1977-1980), Inside the Kaleidoscope (Girona 1981-1985) and The Visitor from the Future (Blanes 19852003). The route was completed with an epilogue or coda that
analysed Bolaño’s influence on the literature of the 21st century.
The visit to the exhibition was conceived as a detective-style
investigation. The reader-visitor was a sleuth subjected to a series
of tests and games, not lacking in humour and irony. In the formalisation of the itinerary, preference was given to the kaleidoscope metaphor, to which the author himself referred in different
passages of his books.
However, the exhibition’s singularity was constituted by the
presentation of previously unseen material from the Archive of
the Heirs of Roberto Bolaño: novels, tales, poems and various
writings, booklets and exercise books, correspondence, family
photographs, magazines and fanzines, his personal library, all the
interviews, strategy games and other valuable materials that allowed a more in-depth acquaintance with the creative universe
of Bolaño and an increasingly free and fertile reading of his work.

Programme
This project has been financed
with the help of the European
Commission
The exhibition “Pasolini Rome” offered a close-up look at the Italian writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) through
his relations with Rome. And this close-up meant entering fully into everything that constituted and defined Pasolini: poetry,
politics, civil commitment, sex, friendship, film. The exhibition
was structured into six chronological sections that corresponded
to the six vital and creative phases of Pasolini. It began with his
arrival in Rome on 28 January 1950 and closed on 2 November
1975, when his lifeless body was found near to Ostia.
Rome was not just a stage set or a simple place of residence for
Pasolini, but it also represented a true physical, carnal and passionate existence. His encounter with Rome was for the author
like a great love story, with all its disappointments, its traditions
and its mixed feelings of passion and hatred, phases of attraction
and phases of rejection, of distancing and return. For Pasolini the
polemicist, the analyst of the evolution of Italian society, Rome
constituted his main space for observation, his permanent field of
study, reflection and battle. It was based on the transformations of
this city that he so loved, that he analysed the changes of the Italy
and the Italians of the 1960s and 1970s.
There is a Rome before and a Rome after Pasolini. His texts
and his films created a new imaginary of the city of Rome. It was
not enough for Pasolini to integrate the city as a backdrop to his
novels and his films, but rather he “re-founded” Rome through
literature and film. As the great creator that he was, he conceived a
new myth of this Vatican and political city, of its neighbourhoods
and its inhabitants.
“Pasolini Rome” was the result of a co-production between
four European cultural institutions and the project was selected,
evaluated and financed by the European Commission due to its
significance in terms of the European, transnational and current
nature of the work of Pasolini and of the project in itself. After
the CCCB, it was scheduled to be presented at La Cinémathèque
Française in Paris (16 October 2013 - 26 January 2014), at the
Azienda Palaexpo-Palazzo Delle Esposizione de Roma (15 April–
20 July 2014) and at the Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin (11 September 2014 - early January 2015).

The year 2013 marked the commemoration of 100 years since the
birth of Salvador Espriu (1913-1985). The CCCB, in collaboration
with the Catalan Government’s Department of Culture, organised
one of the central events of Espriu Year: the exhibition “Espriu. I
Looked Upon This Land”, which offered the public an approach to
the creative career and life history of the writer, to show not only
the capital importance of his figure for Catalan culture, but also
the complexity and richness of Espriu’s work which transcends
any labels and thus establishes it under the heading of timeless
classics.
The exhibition developed different aspects of his biography, of
his literary world and of the public repercussions of his work. It
also defended the currency of the writer, and the validity of his
themes and viewpoints in the world today, based on the triple perspective that the exhibition proposed: the mythical and symbolical world, social transcendence and indomitable criticism.
A poet, narrator and playwright, Espriu asks himself about the
great human questions. The exhibition evoked the myth of Sinera;
ethical commitment when faced with the Civil War and the postwar years; the defence of Catalan culture in difficult times; the
Espriu phenomenon, when he became an indispensable reference
point in Spanish Culture; his vision of the “bull’s hide” based on
dialogue and tolerance; his candidature for the Nobel Prize, and
his imaginary world – sometimes grotesque, sometimes evocative, but always of an extraordinary power.
The exhibition presented a great quantity of unpublished materials originating from archives and private collections. The last
part of the exhibition recreates one of Espriu’s fundamental ideas:
the world as a grotesque labyrinth, based on a gallery of characters
that inhabit his narrative, his poetry and his theatre, presented
in animations produced by young creators. The characters of this
gallery were integrated into an animated tale, of surprising currency, allowing the visitor unfamiliar with the Espriu universe to
enter it from a new perspective.
“‘I Looked Upon This Land’” takes us to Espriu’s way of looking
at his land and his world: sometimes critical and wildly amusing,
but also understanding and full of compassion towards human
weaknesses.” (Julià Guillamon).

The ninth edition of “World Press Photo” included the 143 winning photographs of the prestigious international photojournalism prize. The selection included three Spanish winners, Bernat
Armangué, Emilio Morenatti and Daniel Ochoa de Olza. Furthermore, the CCCB became the only Spanish centre that exhibited
the winning works in the multimedia projects category, created in
2011, which also included two Spanish prize-winners, Pep Bonet
and Miquel Dewever-Plana.
In this edition a total of 5,666 photographers of 124 nationalities took part (235 of whom were Spaniards), with 103,481
images submitted, classified into eight categories: General News,
Spot News, Contemporary Issues, Daily Life, Observed Portraits,
Staged Portraits, Nature and Sports.
“Face Reality”, the slogan for the presentation of “World Press
Photo” in Barcelona, invited visitors to witness, free of censorship
and manipulation, the state of the world today and it confronted us with the global and also the local reality to be able to reflect on and broaden our points of view. As every other year, the
prize-winning images informed us, moved us and questioned us,
converting “World Press Photo” into an unmissable appointment
for any citizen wishing to be better informed.

The Cinema of the CCCB
January — June
Beginning in the last quarter of 2012, the twelfth season of Xcèntric was inaugurated with two sessions devoted to Antoni Padrós,
and it presented the series “Museum Cinema”, which began with
two sessions based on the film collection of the Centre Georges
Pompidou in Paris.
Once into 2013, and continuing with Xcèntric’s interest in the
introduction of film into museum halls, the second part of the
series “Museum Cinema” was held, with Carles Guerra, head curator of the MACBA, presenting the programme that he himself
prepared to raise awareness of this museum’s collection.
The month of January was devoted to the festival “Collage exquisit”, four days of film and scissors with screenings of classic
authors of collage such as Larry Jordan, Robert Breer and Stan
Vanderbeek, along with new talents, audiovisual performances
and animated collage workshops.
During the following months works were screened by authors
such as Kenneth Anger, Paolo Gioli, Luc Moullet, Bruce Nauman,
Jef Cornelis, Samuel Beckett, John Baldessari, Laida Lertxundi,
Hollis Frampton, Bruce Baillie, Morgan Fisher, Nathaniel Dorsky,
Harun Farocki, Emile de Antonio, Stan Brakhage, Robert Beavers, Gregory Markopoulos, Warren Sonbert, Stephen Dwoskin,
Shirley Clarke, Peter Whitehead, Thom Andersen, Pat O’Neill,
Robert Frank, Abel Gance and Craig Baldwin, among many others. There were also premieres of films by young authors from our
area, such as Víctor Iriarte, Elías León Siminiani and Jorge Tur.
In addition to the usual collaborators – Gonzalo de Lucas, Celeste Araújo and Oriol Sánchez – the season also boasted the collaboration of recognised international programmers such as Marc
Webber (United Kingdom), João Laia (Portugal), Andrey Shental
(Russia) and Philippe-Alain Michaud (France), who, together
with Carles Guerra, brought diversity and international projection to the programme.

Soy Cámara

The CCCB’s TV Programme
monthly programme broadcast by TVE’s La 2
In 2013 Soy Cámara celebrated four seasons on TVE’s La 2, three
years of ongoing work that have made the programme a reference
point in cultural television today. In 2013, eight programmes were
broadcast with a total of 819,000 spectators.
The programme has a patchwork structure with a friendly and
intelligible approach, built based on a large quantity of voices and
audiovisual fragments, originating from archives from all eras,
textures and genres. There is no presenter or voiceover narrator,
and the title varies with each episode, as does the typography, style
and thread of the programme, which to date has had the collaboration of twenty-five different directors and scriptwriters: Andrés
Hispano, Félix Pérez-Hita, Juan Insua, Oscar Pérez, Juan Carlos
Rodríguez, José Antonio Soria, Cristina Giribets, Luis Cerveró,
Juan Bufill, Mariona Omedes, Virginie Manuel, Toni Curcó, Rory
Lambert, CCCB Alzheimer Programme, Silvia Omedes, Helena
Velez, Jordi Calafell, David Bravo, Judit Carrera, Elisabet Goula,
Jorge Luis Marzo, Arturo “Fito” Rodríguez, Ingrid Guardiola,
Miguel Ángel Blanca and Joan Carreras.
Soy Cámara usually raises more questions than answers, as it
seems more opportune to offer open reflections and explore voids
than to give categorical and forceful answers.
Off Programme
Organisation —
CCCB
January — December
Off Programme is a space for all those audiovisual works that
emerge from the commitment and solidarity of their authors, the
screening of which is enhanced by the presence of the producers,
of experts or of people directly involved in the subject and with a
follow-up debate with participation by the audience.
In 2013 four sessions were held:
On 9 April, the session “The New Poor” presented five short
films by the collective Why Poverty? which analysed the alarming
situation of poverty in Europe.
On 27 March, the screening of Notre Poison quotidien (Our
Daily Poison) gave rise to a debate on whether consumers know
what they eat and whether they are really protected by the food
health and safety agencies.
From 24 to 26 March, within the context of the 21st edition of
the International Exhibition of Women’s Films of Barcelona, the
session “After the Conflict” presented three documentaries directed by women on social conflicts.
On 5 June, there was a presentation of the documentary produced by Javier Gascón Manos arriba, esto es un contrato (Hands
Up, This is a Contract), which showcases the numerous cases of
banking abuses occurring all over the country.

January — December
Poetry Slam Barcelona is a poetic competition with a flexible, dynamic and participative format where a new relationship is established between the audience and the poets, on a platform of
contemporary artistic creation that has the word and the stage as
central cores. The regular Slam championship has been held since
February 2010 and it now has hundreds of followers, who each
month meet to compete, share and applaud the performances.
The 2013 season consisted of nine sessions that included eight
Slam and Spoken Word championships and three Slam Classrooms.
At the first workshop, Mark Kelly Smith, founder of the Poetry Slam
movement, presented the basics of poetic performance on stage
through writing exercises that showed participants the close relationship between text and performance. At the second, Marçal Font,
winner of the Barcelona Poetry Slam league (2010 and 2011) and the
Spain Poetry Slam Championship (2011), and semi-finalist of the
Coup du Monde de Slam in Paris (2012), offered a brief theoretical
introduction to the arts of poetry writing and poetic recital focusing
on the poetry slam format. The last of the workshops was led by Chilean actress and storyteller Alejandra Hurtado who, thanks to a collaboration with the Fundación Mustakis of Chile, taught a practical
class on oral and corporal expression in telling stories.

First of all, “Petit Animac Camina” offered screenings designed for
all the family, and secondly, “Realitat 2.0” presented a selection of
short films that explored the reality of animation, with works by
Hanna Heilborn, Isabel Herguera, Daniel Sousa and PES, among
others. Finally, with the collaboration of the Escola de Cinema

Within a music context which has seen the popularisation of amateur
music self-editing and production tools, and in which it is increasingly possible to listen to music via different portals online, the 2013
edition of BCNmp7 aimed to show a commitment to live shows. The
objective was to present unique and compact proposals, in which the
performance was almost always accompanied by a debate aimed at a
diversified audience.
Of the five sessions during the year, three were programmed by
the group A Viva Veu, which proposed very current topics in debates
on music: “Prescribers”, with the live performances of disk-jockey
and musical activist Andy Votel, and ethnomusicologist and founder
of the label Awesome Tapes from Africa, Brian Shimkovitz; “Analogical Music” with performances by Zombie Zombie, Akron and Diego
Garcia; and “Clubs Culture” with live performances by the mysterious Dean Blunt and local group Headbirds. Àlex Gómez-Font programmed the fourth session, “1960s progressive rock in the Iberian
Peninsula”, which reunited the band Màquina! and in which Toti Soler presented Guitarra catalana. The final session of the season was
“MinimAcció”, for which Lluís Nacenta commissioned Roger Goula
to produce a composition which he himself performed, accompanied
by the group Experimental Funktion.

Kosmopolis

AMPLIFICADA
VII EdIcIó 14 - 16 de març. Barcelona. cccB
On 14, 15 and 16 March the 7th biennial edition took place of
Kosmopolis, the Amplified Literature Fest: three days during
which the Centre again became the meeting point for lovers of
literature and the letters, with lectures, chats with authors and
readers, round tables, presentations, children’s and family activities and music performances linked to the three central themes of
this edition: science, science fiction and humour. An attendance
of over 6,000 people and over 15,000 visits to the website confirmed that Kosmopolis has become consolidated as a literature
festival understood in its broadest sense, and that brings together
a large community of followers.
Kosmopolis featured participants from around the world. Briton Dave McKean, one of the most important illustrators of comics
today, showed his work and talked with the audience. Juan José
Millás and Andreu Buenafuente, two masters of irony, debated
about humour, which was also be the central theme of Café Europa, which featured the participation, among others, of Carles
Hac Mor, Josep Pedrals, Monika Zgustova, Eduard Escoffet,
Krystof Cryzewski and Bashkim Shehu. Journalist Jacinto Antón
debated with physicist Lara Saiz, communicator from the training and visitors centre of the space station at Robledo de Chavela,
about the real and imaginary worlds that are suggested to us by
the red planet. Writer Jordi Carrión and filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo offered a peculiar Battle of science-fiction series. The Higgs
boson was the star of a session with scientists and writers who
offered two views regarding the particle in an exercise in third
culture.
The programme for Kosmopolis occupied all the spaces at the
CCCB: the Pati de les Dones was the setting for a new edition of
BookCamp, transformed into an information and knowledge point
revolving around literature. Experts and professionals from diverse
sectors (publishing, the business world, mobile apps, printing and
the social networks) debated about the dilemmas surrounding liter

meeting of digital cultural journals, LiberDig, organised by Revista
de Letras; and the European platform Literature Across Frontiers was
presented, with an exchange between two writers, Catalan Francesc
Serés and Egyptian Eman Abdelhamid.
Kosmopolis also paid two tributes. Firstly, Jaume Cabré, author of Jo confesso, received recognition for his entire body of
work, in a conversation with Xavier Pla, with a musical surprise
included. Secondly, the festival paid tribute to Roberto Bolaño
with the exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003”, and a discussion
with publishers, critics and writers such as Pere Gimferrer, Jorge
Herralde, Jaume Vallcorba, A. G. Porta and Juan Antonio Masoliver Ródenas; a poetry performance with Olvido García Valdés,
winner of the National Prize for Poetry; a debate on the theatrical
adaptation of 2666 and a preview of the work El policía de las ratas
by Àlex Rigola.
Faithful to the spirit of experimentation, the programme included activities of such diverse format as the traditional final of
the Gran Slam, the international Poetry Slam competition, and
a concert by David Carabén. Alpha Channel offered continuous
programming with unpublished works and other literary classics,
and the K Archive allowed discovery of all the digitalised contents
of past editions of the festival. Not to forget the children’s activities
and a meetup with readers organised by Biblioteques de Barcelona, who presented the urban itinerary, «Barcelona Reads», created
together with CCCB Education, with visits to singular places in
Barcelona for lovers of books and reading.
Kosmopolis has a powerful presence in the virtual sphere. The
festival website received a total of 51,657 visits during the year
2013. Of these, 14,659 were during the week of festival (a 21%
increase in visits compared to the 2011 edition). Moreover, the
Twitter account @kosmopolisCCCB reached the figure of 4,728
followers, who make up a sizeable community created around literature at the CCCB. Finally, it is important to highlight the 2,470
people who followed the festival events via streaming, and the
9,027 plays of the 35 videos from the 2013 edition, which include
debates, lectures, interviews and reports from the festival.

The basic objective of this festival is to explore contemporary film
authorship in its broadest sense, tracking down the best of new
film creations and combining established names with new talents.
The desire of the event is to become an urban festival of reference
and to give satisfaction to the cinephile public of the city by presenting works that never reach the commercial billboards but that
find in the Festival an ideal place among an audience eager to view
independent and high-risk cinema.
Based on an exhaustive review of worldwide cinematographic current affairs, the third International Art House Film Festival
of Barcelona presented the best international contemporary film
previously unseen at our cinemas and offered spectators the possibility of enjoying some sixty films with a long track record internationally, successes and prizes from critics and audience alike,
combined with proposals from new talents and new cinematographies, both international and local alike.
In addition to the CCCB, the venues that the Festival occupied
for this third event were Aribau Club 1 and 2 and the two halls of
the new premises of the Filmoteca de Catalunya.

To coincide with its 90th anniversary, the Catalan PEN, together
with La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, the MACBA and the CCCB,
promoted the installation in the public space of Allò que devem
estar dibuixant amb les nostres formes de viure (What We Must
Be Drawing Through Our Ways of Life) by Perejaume. Between
7 June and 31 August, every evening, this phrase was lit up on
Carrer del Carme in Barcelona, between La Rambla and Carrer de
Jerusalem. This is an open and polysemic work that, once installed
on Carrer del Carme, paid tribute to the cause of imprisoned writers as well as the defence of linguistic rights and freedom of expression, and it became a shout for resistance against all attempts
at appropriation of collective and individual wills.

In 2013, the CCCB and the Grec Festival of Barcelona launched
a new line of collaboration. In addition to the two central works
of the programme, Grec Experimental CCCB encompassed a set
of activities parallel to the programme of the Grec at the CCCB,
which emerged from the joint work of the staff of the CCCB, the
theatre companies and the production teams. All together they
commenced a collective process of creation to enrich the experience of all those involved.
In this edition, two productions from the Grec programme
were presented at the CCCB: Montaldo and Jo Mai. In parallel with Montaldo, an activity was programmed titled “Let’s Tell
Lies. Art, Fiction and Reality”, a chat about art and fiction with
the director of the work Ernesto Collado, cultural producer and
researcher Bani Brusadin, art historian Jorge Luis Marzo and artist Job Ramos. “Icaria, The Utopia Now” was the other proposal
parallel to the work, in which Collado explained his approach to
the Cabetian movement and the utopian city of Icaria. As for the
work Jo Mai by Ivan Morales, the parallel session included the
presentation of the screening of the short film Dibujo de David
(2007) by the same author and with the live performance of the
group Nitch, authors of the work’s sound track.

Sónar 2013 held the closing night of its 20th anniversary edition at
the historical venues of Sónar de Dia, the CCCB and the MACBA,
and it once more collaborated very closely with two of the city’s
emblematic venues. Two top-class concerts were presented that
shared the common characteristic of reinterpretation and re-composition as the conceptual base of musical discourses.
The Teatre CCCB hosted the concert by Max Richter and
BCN216, in which the British composer and the group from Barcelona performed the version that Richter composed of The Four
Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. The interest in the proposal meant
that tickets sold out many days beforehand and it was necessary
to programme a second concert.

Fins al 22 d’agost. Entrada gratuïta
the month of August
For the 2013 edition of Gandules, titled “Better with Humour!”,
contemporary films were selected that talk about everydayness:
the fears, obsessions, yearnings and passions of each day... All this,
however, without ever losing the touch of irony and humour so
necessary in current times.
Through an open public vote, the programme for the eleventh edition was chosen from among twenty titles proposed that,
although they had been premiered and had received prizes and
honours at various festivals, for one reason or another, they had
only had very short runs at the cinemas on the commercial circuit.
The new films screened were: Dans la Maison (François Ozon),
Persépolis (Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud), In the Loop
(Armando Iannucci), Tulpan (Sergei Dvortsevoy), Les Bureaux de
Dieu (Claire Simon), Kynodontas (Giorgos Lanthimos), Les Herbes folles (Alain Resnais), Departures (Yojiro Takita) and Arrugas
(Ignacio Ferreras). In addition, before each film, a short film was
presented as an appetiser.

charity actions.
Prominent among the participating artists were Mala Juntera,
Duo Kie, El Chojin, Nasta, Tribute Corp, El Santo & Tosko and
Rayden. Since its creation, the only hip-hop festival that takes
place in Barcelona has congregated over 50,000 visitors, over
1,150 national and international artists, over 260 accreditations
and over 1,800 participants at competitions.

The Festival Escena Poblenou organised the course for spectators
with the intention of offering to professionals and non-professionals alike the tools to be able to look closer at contemporary
stage languages. The complete course consists of five meetings in
different centres in the city, each devoted to a discipline and directed by a professional from the sector and a guest artist who
presents his or her project.
At the session held at the CCCB, “Vides de la ment” (Lives of
The Mind), Roberto Fratini, playwright and dance theorist, contextualised prejudices that situate dance exclusively in the field of
action, distancing it from processes of abstract thinking, in order
to underline the public meaning of this art as criticism and diagnosis of reality. Sònia Sánchez, a flamenco dancer with a long
career in the world of dance, was the artist invited to present her
project which Roberto Fratini used in order to give examples of
tools for performing.

The ninth edition of The Influencers was devoted once more to
exploring a little known territory situated between art, the communication technologies and the dynamics of the collective imagination. Daring projects that break with the normality of the
urban space were presented such as Dead Drops by Aram Bartholl
(Germany); projects that open up cracks in reality based on the
social networks, such as Face to Facebook Hacking Monopolism
Trilogy by Paolo Cirio (Italy); initiatives that eliminate toxins
from genetically manipulated information such as the visual art
of Sam3 (Spain); and interventions such as Cacophony Society by
John Law (USA).
Other participants included the Chim Pom group (Japan),
filmmaker and artist Tellervo Kalleinen (Finland) and the collective The Troll Face, which took over the channels of the social
networks of the Influencers while live, to supplant identities based
on online reality.

Philippe Garrel, among others.
Over fifty films from all over the world formed the different

short films, documentaries and feature films selected from around
one thousand six hundred films received. The German film Das
merkwürdige Kätzchen, by Ramon Zürcher, was the winner of the
official competition; Museum Hours, by Jem Cohen, received the
Jury’s Special Mention; and 36, the debut work by Thailandese
filmmaker Nawapol Thamrongrattanaritt, received the GAC prize

Drap-Art is a showcase for tendencies in art that use objets trouvés
and reject materials as a resource. It is a platform for the emerging
sector of artists, designers and craftspeople the world over who
use waste as raw materials; it is a forum for debating theories and
urban utopias.
Drap-Art is a meeting place for specialists with a public in
search of alternative paths in a world heading for self-destruction.
Our typical throwaway habits, acquired during the 20th century,
have to be redirected towards an awareness that nothing disappears, everything is transformed.
Drap-Art considers it imperative to encourage the newer generations to use recycling, not just as a resource for criticism, but
as a tool, within everyone’s reach, to convert protest into positive
proposals, which are the seeds of a more sustainable world.

The upheavals of the economic crisis have left exposed a vast, forgotten and neglected territory that, in these times of dispossession and loss, has a wonderful quality: it belongs to everyone. It
is the immense domain of what is common, shared, which without belonging to anyone is the heritage and responsibility of each
and every one of us. The voracity of the market society has often
made us forget that trust in others and working together are the
true foundations of collective life, and that behind each individual impulse lies the unstoppable energy of the entire community.
Nature, dreams, education, democratic ideals, cities, music... all
form part of the tangible and intangible heritage of every person.
It is necessary to vigorously defend those spaces that are not governed by the standards of market values, but by the notion of what
is beneficial for the entire community, and that promote a new
culture of solidarity and collective capacity to preserve, create and
manage common assets.
“In Common” was framed within the line of permanent reflection on the human condition in today’s world which began
in the year 2005 with the series “Passions” (2005), and continued
with the debates “Life” (2006), “Sense” (2007), “The Human Condition” (2008), “Impurities” (2009), “Thinking the Future” (2010),
“Crisis” (2011) and “Virtues” (2012).
“In Common” featured the participation of Ulrich Beck
(“Europe”), presented by Jordi Vaquer; Lydia Cacho (“Human
Rights”), presented by Sílvia Heras; Peter Burke (“Knowledge”),
presented by Josep Maria Muñoz; Ramón Andrés (“Music”), presented by Ferran Sáez; Xavier Antich and Joan Margarit (“The
City”), presented by Joan Nogué; Marina Garcés (“Engagement”),
presented by Judit Carrera; Perejaume (“Agrarianism”), presented
by Jacint Torrents; Josep Ramoneda (“Freedom”), presented by
Jaume Casals; and Zygmunt Bauman (“Education”), presented by
Jaume Cela.

15, 22 and 29 January
Against the backdrop of the exhibition “Paral·lel Avenue, 18941939”, the CCCB wanted to debate on the future of this emblematic Barcelona district that today is seeking to re-find its social and
cultural centrality. The so-called “Riffraff Diagonal” has a glorious
past that unfortunately was not sufficiently recognised at the time
by the cultural officialdom of the city. For decades the performing
arts and music structured around it an intense life, forming a mixing pot from the highest classes to the most popular and marginal.
Today, the future of this Avenue hovers between the nostalgia of
what it was and the desire of what it could be.
Over recent years, steps have been taken to transform the district which, despite its significance, is still trailing many difficulties.
Intervening in this process are the Fundació El Molino and many
other associations that are working to promote an action plan in the
cultural, economic and urban planning sphere that should contribute to the Paral·lel shining once more with its own light.
Within the framework of the series, the city mayor Xavier Trias
and deputy mayor for Urban Habitat, Antoni Vives, publicly presented Barcelona City Council’s Plan for the Paral·lel.
With the participation of: Josep Bohigas, Albert Civit, Jordi Coca,
Josep Ferrando, Juan Carlos Iglesias, Juan José Lahuerta, Maria Serrat, Xavier Theros, Xavier Trias, Elvira Vázquez and Antoni Vives.

Tahar Ben Jelloun explains it often: racism is a refuge. It is for
those who feel fear and also for those who are not or do not want
to be informed. In addition, it links very well with the crisis. In
these times of upheaval, prejudices come to the surface in order to
attribute all the responsibility to foreigners, immigrants, and the
marginalised. The same things happens with Islam, which is also
used these days as a scarecrow that incites fear and miscomprehension. In Europe, Islamophobia has been spread as much by the
parties of the extreme right as by those of the classic right, and has
led to the stigmatising of Muslims who live among us. What can
we do to combat this? For Tahar Ben Jelloun the answer is clear:
fight against the prejudices, especially in schools, to try to remove
these preconceived ideas from the heads of children before it is
too late.
The lecture offered by Tahar Ben Jelloun was followed by the
dialogue “Racism and Football” with ex-FC Barcelona player
Lilian Thuram. Journalist Emili Manzano was entrusted with presenting the event and Ramon Garriga, a trustee of the Fundació
FC Barcelona, gave the welcome speech.

Biomedicine is most probably the field of research that has most
impact in our lives, not so much in everyday life but, rather, with
regard to our state of health, the development of new drugs and,
in brief, the prospects for curing many illnesses. The radical
changes that have taken place in recent years are due to the fact
that the struggle against disease is now based on intimate molecular and genetic knowledge of the causal bases of illness. Knowing
in order to intervene – this is the great paradigm that molecular
biology has opened up in medicine and it is breaking new ground
for treatment that now makes it possible to survive illnesses that
were once incurable, to enjoy a good quality of life, and to live
many more years than in other times. With this debate the aim
was to explore the limits set by biomedicine and the promises that
it is opening up with regard to its intervention in our health.
“Great Challenges of Biomedicine” is the first of the ICREACCCB Debates and the beginning of a working relationship aimed
at informing the wider public about the advances being made in
high-level research in Catalonia and the challenges it faces.

Pasolini and the Critique of Mainstream

Programme

17 and 25 June, 1 and 9 July
More than anything else, Pasolini is a heterodox thinker. His concern is the process of material and spiritual homogenisation in
post-war Europe as fruit of the expansion of consumer capitalism
and the mass media. In this context, he reflects on the eradication
of differences in lifestyles and cultural substrata while simultaneously criticising the tendency to uniformity in the life plans of a
new middle class which is limited to the same ever more dehumanising horizons. Faced with this new social reality, Pasolini denounces the violence and totalitarianism inherent to capitalism,
shuns standard, socially acceptable thinking and seeks to lay bare
the contradictions and hazards of this new way of life.
The CCCB presented these debates as part of the “Pasolini-Roma” exhibition with a view to considering our world through
Pasolini’s works and raising the question of how a transgressive
critique of mainstream culture might be possible today.

16 September, 8 October and 2 November Within the context of the Kosmopolis festival, a series of dialogues
with three British writers was organised.
The first dialogue, presented by Ana Ballesteros Peiró, was
dedicated to Nadeem Aslam, the British writer of Pakistani origin,
on the occasion of the publication in Spanish of his latest novel,
El jardín del hombre ciego (Mondadori, 2013). Although he has
lived a large part of his life in the UK, Pakistan is the territory that
feeds his literary imagination. The second dialogue, presented by
publisher Luis Miguel Solano, was devoted to Philip Hensher, on
the occasion of the presentation in Spanish of his book El rey de
los tejones (Libros del Asteroide, 2013). A journalist, university
lecturer and the author of seven novels, Hensher talked about the
influence of place on his literary imagination. The third dialogue,
moderated by journalist and writer Antonio Lozano, was devoted
to Edward St. Aubyn, coinciding with the presentation in Spanish
of the trilogy El padre (Mondadori, 2013), a volume that contains
the first three novels of the series on English aristocrat Patrick
Melrose.

The Meaning Of Culture

18 and 19 September
Does culture matter? What purpose does it serve? What do we understand by culture? Who should it matter to? And above all, why?
These questions are rarely formulated in such elementary terms, but
they are inevitably found in the background of the current debate on
public and private support in the cultural sector. The context of the
economic crisis has accentuated this discussion, but what in reality it
reveals is a deficit of social perception regarding the role of culture.
The objective of this debate is not to discuss certain cultural policies nor to focus on the conditions imposed by the current crisis, but
to address the root problem, to talk about culture’s raison d’être, avoiding instrumental or utilitarian justifications. Beyond its aesthetic value, its financial returns and its social benefit, this series aims to place
the accent on the political and ethical relevance of culture. If culture is
important it is also because it has a role to play in the political scene.

The theory of evolution proposed by Darwin in the early 19th
century is probably one of the scientific theories that have most
transformed our view of the world and of our own species. Today,
Darwinism considers that the evolution of the human species has
not only a biological basis but also a cultural one; what’s more, it
is perhaps impossible to differentiate one from the other. Our tendencies towards creativity, religion or working in a collaborative
way are undoubtedly traits which our social and cultural environment have known how to give a concrete form, but they would
not have been possible without a nature that propitiated it and an
evolution over thousands of years that favoured it. Recent discoveries in the fields of genetics and evolutionary biology confirm
this intimate relationship between biology and culture.
This series of lectures continues the dialogue between the life
sciences and the humanities which, since 2011, has been promoted jointly by the B-Debate International Center for Scientific Debate Barcelona and the CCCB.

Lecture by Moisés Naím

Power is changing. It is increasingly easy to achieve but also more
difficult to keep and wield. This is the thesis of the economic and
political analyst Moisés Naím, a front-row observer of the world’s
centres of power. Naím believes that the great traditional power-holders, for example governments, armies, companies and
trade unions, are now confronted with new and surprising rivals,
some of them much smaller in terms of dimensions and resources.
In Naím’s view, power is not only changing hands but it is also
losing effectiveness and this will radically transform the world
in which we live. In conversation with journalist Antoni Bassas,
Naím explained what has brought about these changes and what
consequences can be expected, coinciding with the publication of
his latest book El fin del poder (Debate, 2013).

Energy drives our society. Overdependence on oil, safety problems in nuclear power stations and the shortcomings of alternative
sources are presenting an energy future that is full of challenges
and question marks. Energy consumption is already a social and
economic problem in the West and also in the developing countries, and even more so now that thousands of millions of citizens
in China and India legitimately aspire to the western way of life.
However, can the planet permit its entire population to consume
energy at the same rate as in the industrialised countries? Is this
model of energy consumption sustainable? How long can we be
dependent on oil? When will the renewable energies represent a
real alternative? What technological solutions will the future present? And perhaps the most important question of all: how can we
use energy without jeopardising the resources of future generations?
“Energy Challenges: Present and Future” was the second of
the ICREA-CCCB Debates, a stable collaboration for presenting
to the public the advances and challenges of high-level research.

2 December
It is now 500 years since Niccolò Machiavelli wrote The Prince but
this small book continues to be a key work in political thought
and, even today, the source of many readings, appropriations,
comments and criticisms. The CCCB wanted to join in celebrating this anniversary and, without falling into the temptation of
“updating” Machiavelli’s work, to explore the current relevance of
his ideas on the relationship between politics and morality or to
revisit his bleak description of human behaviour.
The actor Jordi Boixaderas opened the event with a dramatized
reading of the famous letter that Machiavelli wrote from exile to
his friend Vettori, describing his everyday life while he was writing The Prince. This was followed with a lecture by the Italian philosopher Remo Bodei who discussed Machiavelli’s realism and offered some guidelines for reading The Prince today, accompanied
by philosophers Juan Manuel Forte and Rosa Rius Gatell.
The session formed part of the “International Conference on
Niccolò Machiavelli. The Prince Is 500 Years Old”, organised by the
Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Barcelona.

Lecture by Michael J. Sandel

Is there anything money cannot buy? From the right to contaminate
the environment through to a visa or residence permit, it seems that
everything is on sale. This is the belief of the political philosopher
Michael J. Sandel, who states in his last book What Money Can’t
Buy. The Moral Limits of Markets (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2012)
that the logic of money has invaded every sphere of life, to such an
extent that we have gone from having a market economy to being
a market society. At a time in which inequalities are increasing and
the greatly debilitated welfare state is on the verge of collapse, this
commercialisation of life raises far-reaching ethical and political
challenges. As Sandel formulates it, the main issues concern the role
of the market in a democratic society and how to protect civic and
moral values that money clearly cannot buy.

18 December
In proposing “Subversive Love” as the theme for the IV Philosophy Conference of Barcelona, the aim was to highlight its capacity
to radically transform the agreed order: on an individual and also
on a collective level.
For the individual, love is a subversive experience that may
transform one’s own existence. Love appears as an event that disturbs the established sense of the world itself, a phenomenon that
gives us access to the very plasticity of the subject. Along this path,
it also opens up for us the possibility of making an equality among
people emerge (because we are all subject to love), an equality
structurally concealed by the set of differences consubstantial to
the idea of hierarchy and social order.
On a collective level, in the current convergence of a society
limited by the hegemony of mercantile relations and the apparent
exhausting of theoretical solutions that propose new social systems, love offers us the possibility to rethink human relations in
our societies: it is not a case of considering another “love revolution”, but of reflecting on the political force of affectionate feelings.

“Perhaps” - Nietzsche wrote to Herman Levi in 1887- “there has
never been a more musical philosopher than I am.” True. Perhaps
no other philosopher has ever had a more day-to-day relationship
with music than Nietzsche, or has wanted more fervently to use
the musical form as a template for his philosophical writings, or
understood more musically the expression “interpret the world”,
or been more determined to make hearing a philosophical instrument. Not a single line of Nietzsche’s writing has been produced
without the aim that his reader should experience the inner echo
of its melody. For all these reasons, this lecture-cum-concert was
offered as an exercise in musical resonance, aspiring to highlight
both Nietzsche’s music and the auditory dimension of his philosophy, through pieces performed by Abraham and Esther Tena and
interventions by Gregorio Luri.

Europe has been drifting from crisis to crisis and the deterioration

not only failed to stem market turbulences, but generate hostility
and resentment both and the core and in the periphery. The threat
is not only to the euro, but also the Union itself and the democracies that thrived thanks to European integration. According to
George Soros, the European Union, which many hoped would
embody and defend the values of open society in Europe and
around the Globe, no longer guarantees vibrant and tolerant democracies across the Old Continent.

Map to Labyrinth), by Bernat Lladó (Icària Editorial, 2013).
Geography is the archetypical knowledge of western culture.
In their zeal to represent the world, to draw the globe on a map,
geographers laid the foundations of modern scientific knowledge.
By means of cartographic projection and the coordinate system
they invented space, which is to say the Universal Measure. From
this there emerged not only a new experience of territory, but also
a new way of organising it: modern states. With globalisation,
however, the experience and organisation of modern territory
would seem to have come to an end. The functioning of the world
is no longer in tune with the logic of the map. In order to escape
this logic, Farinelli suggests that we should overcome our fear of
the labyrinth, the only flat representation possible of the globe,
since it is only from within the labyrinth that we shall be able to
understand geography and the world of today.

Adolescence as a stage of transition to an adult identity is determined
by culture. How does contemporary society accommodate this process? How does it receive the sometimes rule-breaking novelty introduced by its new members? This is a society marked by changes that are happening so fast that they jeopardise intergenerational
transmission of knowledge and values, increase complexity and exacerbate feelings of uncertainty. A highly creative society but one also
threatened by a return to authoritarianism or the repudiation of social values which characterises utilitarianism and individualism. An
adolescent society? From the “gangs of the 80s” to the “tyrant-teen of
the new century”. How is the eternal conflict between generations being dealt with today? A dialogue between Luis Feduchi, psychiatrist

Theros offers a consummate human portrait of the city and its intangible heritage constituted by experiences and social relations.
It is a guide based first and foremost on what is not public knowledge, the chronicle of a city that whispers its secrets.
This book was written with the express desire of following in
the footsteps of an earlier work, Guía secreta de Barcelona (The
Secret Guide to Barcelona) in which, forty years ago, Josep Maria
Carandell invented the craft of telling the story of the most recondite corners of his city, thus producing a map of places, stories
and small indiscretions as to what can still be seen and what no
longer exists.

to reflect on the state of cities today. The Master’s Degree offers a
space for advanced studies on the relationship between the social,
cultural and architectural conditions of cities. Within this framework, each student develops an individual project lasting two
years which is tutored by the programme’s teaching staff and benefits from seminars, lectures, visits, workshops and master classes.
Graduates can take on professional and academic responsibilities
with the experience of having created and developed a research
project that opens up a new door to the comprehension of the
complex forces that converge in the public space.

The public space brings together the main values of the city but also
reveals its inequalities. It is an integrating instrument for urban planning but at the same time a setting and a space for conflicts. This programme aims to offer theoretical and practical training to imagine,
design and manage urban public space in an integrated way, assuming the complexity of the urban reality and extolling its democratic
values. The city and the public space is one of the focal points of permanent reflection for the CCCB, which in the year 2000 launched the
European Prize for Urban Public Space with the aim of recognising
and stimulating projects for the recovery and defence of the public
space in our cities. The history of the Prize, which is contained in the
online archive at www.publicspace.org, offers over 450 examples of
transformation and improvement of the public space, a fact which
makes it a valuable observatory of European cities.
With the title “Public Space: A Citizens’ Reconquest”, on 24 January the postgraduate course presentation event took place with the
participation of Jordi Borja, David Bravo, Guillem Domingo, LaCol,

CCCB Lab is the CCCB department most focused on
research, transformation and innovation in the cultural
sphere, and it pays special attention to the evolution
of genres and formats in a changing scenario where
art, science, information and knowledge are becoming
the lynchpins of a new world, a new economy and a
new society.
The objectives of the Lab are the dissemination and praxis
of cultural innovation, the creation and consolidation of
networks, research and innovation in virtual scenarios,
learning and the design of participation processes, the
transformation of working methodologies and the study of
digital humanities. In 2013 these objectives were tackled in
greater depth through processes, networks and platforms
that favour new dynamics of creation, production and
post‑production.
Part of the Lab’s task consists of working transversally with
the rest of the Centre’s departments. Thus, in 2013 the
Lab took part in the creation of the new CCCB Education
itinerary “Barcelona Reads”, while redefining the virtual
archive of the Now project, it also collaborated with the
parallel programme for the exhibition “Pasolini Rome”
and worked on new formats such as the BookCamp for
the Kosmopolis Festival.

CCCB Lab
Blog
and Social Networks
The emergence of a community focused on ideas, projects and innovative experiences requires constant learning and attention. The
Lab’s blog is the tool through which knowledge is shared and this
community is built. Every week articles, reports and interviews
related with different aspects of cultural innovation are published.
The work carried out can be consulted on www.cccb.org/lab with
an average of over a thousand visits per week. The articles published are brand new and their authors are specialists in different
subjects. People who have written for the blog include: Agustín
Fernández Mallo, Bashkim Shehu, Bernard Stiegler, Breixo Harguindey, Carlos A. Scolari, César Reyes, Dolors Reig, Ele Carpenter, Felipe G. Gil (Zemos98), Irene Lapuente, Jordi Carrión, Juan
Insua, Jussi Parikka, Karma Peiró, Luis Ángel Fernández-Hermana, Mara Balestrini, Oriol Ripoll, Paisaje Transversal, Platoniq,
Ramón Sangüesa, Ricard Solé, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, Rubén
Martínez, Sandra Álvaro, Sergi Jordà, Tamara Vázquez-Shröder,
Tomás Díez, Vicente Luis Mora, Yuk Hui and Zzzinc.
In early 2013 the CCCB Lab Blog was redesigned and changes
were made to the graphics, the contents architecture and the editorial line. During this year, the blog received 40,331 visits, some
40% more than in 2012. In qualitative terms it also experienced
major improvements and increased by 1 minute the average visit
length (which stands at 03:09 minutes) and the number of pages seen per visit (which rose from 2.06 to 2.21). The blog is also
currently immersed in a growing process of internationalisation.
Visitors from outside Barcelona increased by 5.4%, a rise that is
especially significant in South America, where it stands at 26.7%.
As a result of this work, at the end of 2013 the CCCB was awarded
the Blog Catalonia Prize 2013, in the category Culture and Tendencies (Corporate).
The social networks also played an important role in both the dissemination of the activities of the CCCB Lab and in their own
development, allowing interaction with the whole world. Highlights include Twitter (@CCCBLab, 14,500 followers) and Facebook (2,000 followers) which are fed daily while focusing on the
dissemination of home-grown and external contents, and that
have allowed connections to be made with communities linked to
Lab themes and projects, to whom a monthly thematic bulletin/
newsletter is sent that highlights posts and interviews in relation
with the activity at any given time. All work is done with a permanent beta orientation, in a process of constant and voluntary
adaptation.
Finally, the Lab has always worked for the promotion of an
open and distributed culture. The CCCB Lab Blog is an online
project with a will to inform and is non-profit-making. A process
has begun to put the Blog’s contents under a Creative Commons
licence. These kinds of licences offer some rights to third parties
under certain conditions, such as the commercial use of the work,
the creation of derived works or the possibility that these works
maintain the licence of the original work. Thus, therefore, the objective is that in the future all the materials can be shared under
Creative Commons licences, in line with the Lab’s lines of work
and with the communities of which it forms part, with the aim of
beginning a line of work with Wikipedia.

CCCB and Open Knowledge
Foundation
Data Journalism is a discipline that the main international media
have incorporated in recent years, offering readers data visualisation and processing to explain the news in a clear and understandable way. The 1st Data Journalism and Open Data Conferences, (#jpd13), the first devoted to the subject held in Spain, and
held in May 2013 – at the CCCB, at the Blanquerna Communication Faculty and at Medialab Prado – were a success in terms of
participation. The programme included sessions with keynote lectures offered by authorities in data journalism from the national
and international scene such as Mar Cabra, Eva Belmonte (Civio),
John Burn-Murdoch (The Guardian), Judith Argila (TV3), Ricard
Gràcia (El Periódico de Catalunya), Juan Luís Sánchez (Eldiario.es), Eduard Martín-Borregón (Data’n Press), Michael Bauer
(Open Knowledge Foundation), Marc Garriga, Manuel Aristarán
(La Nación) and Sergio Álvarez Leiva (Vizzuality), among others.
It also included a BarCamp and presentation of national cases.
The interest shown by those attending the Conference made
manifest the need to continue exploring the world of data. For this
reason, the “Data Journalism” coordination team of the Spanish
chapter of the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) organised
a series of monthly sessions so that journalists, IT specialists and
designers could consider new work challenges together. These
were very practical meetups, lasting an afternoon each. For three
hours local data journalism projects are presented, but there are
also workshops to learn to make use of the tools that allow the
processing of data and their visualisation. The data journalism
sessions organised by the OKFN, in collaboration with CCCB
Lab, are also a good place to get to know the professionals working in this discipline and to stay up to date on news, resources and
scheduled events relating to data. Over the course of 2013 three workshops were held: “Excel and
Google Drive for Journalists”, with Gilbert Martínez; “Google Fusion Tables” with Eduard Martin-Borregón of Data’n’Press; and
“Obtaining the best of the web with scraping” with Michael Bauer (Open Knowledge Foundation). There were also presentations
of cases: Open Government (Concha Catalán), Map Infoparticip@ (Amparo Moreno, UAB), atNight (Mar Santamaria, Pablo
Martínez and Jordi Bari) and Fuga2 (Eli Vivas and Francisco José
Moya). In addition, there was an introduction to the portal Open
Data and Open Gov run by Barcelona City Council and the year
ended with the presentation of work with data at The New York
Times offered by Aron Pilhofer.
During the year 2013, the Data Journalism files on the CCCB
Website received 3,667 visits. The posts on the subject published
on the Lab Blog received 2,376 visits. The videos of the 1st Data
Journalism Conference were played 459 times and those of the
different work sessions, 535. Finally, on Twitter there were 4,234
tweets published with the tag #periodismodatos.

I+C+i. Pasolini at the Lab
Research and Innovation
in the Cultural Sphere
Organisation —
CCCB
Collaboration —
This project has received the
support of the European Union
2 July
To coincide with the exhibition Pasolini Rome, a special I+C+i
was presented that focused on exploring how this creator incorporated the concept of experimentation into his work. This lover
of heterodoxy and the mixture of genres, conciliator of high and
low culture, concerned with all that is marginal, with minority
languages and minor genres, understood culture as a kind of laboratory. The session included a workshop and a debate about the
figure of this creator.
The comics workshop was offered by Davide Toffolo, author of
the comic Pasolini. A creation somewhere between a diary and a
report in which Toffolo imagines an encounter with a man who
claims he is Pasolini, with whom he strikes up a long conversation
in which the man expresses himself with the words of the real Pier
Paolo Pasolini taken from books, interviews and articles by the
artist in a painstakingly detailed work of documentation. Toffolo
ran this workshop where he explained the development of the creative process, his selection of works, the techniques he used and
he analysed different scenes from his graphic novel.
Participants in the debate “Pasolini at the Lab” included Davide
Toffolo, Gonzalo de Lucas, Breixo Harguindey and Javier Rebollo.
We usually remember Pier Paolo Pasolini for his filmography, but
when his first film, Accattone, became known in 1961, he had already published numerous poems and two novels, had collaborated extensively with various cultural and literary publications and
had become consolidated as one of the most important writers in
Italy. In the 1960s, this artist and visionary already talked about
his work space by repeatedly using, with clearly significant intent,
the word laboratory. These days, this word is often used to designate spaces and proposals focusing on research, experimentation
and innovation. The following questions were raised during the
debate: From Pasolini to modern laboratories, which innovations
remain valid today? What is their influence on the films of today? What is that great potential for change? The talk “Pasolini in
the Laboratory” explored the idea of the artist in the laboratory
that Pasolini proposed and placed on the table the debate that this
concept currently arouses.
Last year the series was concluded with the conversion of the
blog into a repository for the series since it was created, a space
that brings together all the information related with each session,
and an I+C+iPedia was created which includes: the digitalisation
of all the debates and interviews available, material for expanding
contents, a summary of the online debate for each session, etc. All
the material is consultable by searching by year, subject or participant, and it is also accessible at the CCCB Archive.

Cultural Rings
Latin America-Europe
Cultural Ring
The Centre has participated, since its creation, in the Cultural Ring
project, which had its first embodiment in the Catalan Cultural
Ring. The CCCB intends to continue to participate, insofar as it is
able, in all those projects designed to connect, share and co-create
with the cultural centres of the Catalan towns linked to the Catalan Culture Ring. Furthermore, in the year 2012, the ICUB started
to promote a “ring” project for the city of Barcelona in which the
Centre continued to participate during the year 2013.
The Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring is a network of cultural
facilities located in different countries which also has the objective
of activating the co-production of events online, promoting lines
of research into new uses of the web in cultural production and
promoting the creation of contents. The Cultural Ring is a tool
capable of offering creators a platform for experimenting with
new digital applications and, at the same time, improving their
dissemination and intercommunication.
Joining the member centres (Centro Cultural Sao Paulo, Museo de Antioquia, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile, Centro Cultural España-Córdoba and the CCCB) in
2013 was the Infoart project from Montevideo, Uruguay.

Institut de Recherche
et d’Innovation
In 2008, the CCCB, together with Microsoft, joined the Institut
de Recherche et d’Innovation (IRI), created in 2006 by the Centre
Georges Pompidou and directed by philosopher Bernard Stiegler.
This is a space for research related with the application of new
technologies to the creation, production and formalisation of cultural activities.
The main aims of the CCCB’s involvement are the development of the CCCB’s presence on the Internet to the creation of a
true “virtual CCCB”, interactive dissemination and the strengthening of the contents accumulated in the Centre’s 20-year history,
the intensification of relations between the CCCB and its users,
and the renovation of formats and procedures.

The CCCB’s educational proposal is made up of a
set of face-to-face activities linked to the Centre’s
programme, which are complemented with the
development of the virtual space (www.cccbeducacio.
org) for sharing work, experiences and educational
resources. The objective of the CCCB’s educational proposal is to
explore the relations between the activities programmed
by the Centre, its archive and the cultural life of the city,
placing special emphasis on education centres.
67
CCCB Educación
The website www.cccbeducacio.org
A platform for knowledge, dissemination, learning and participation
The website www.cccbeducacio.org had a clear objective from the
very start: to complement the virtual network that already exists
with a new space where the participation can be recorded of external people and groups for whom education is the centre of their
interest and activity and that, in this sense, echo the cultural life
of the city.
The website www.cccbeducacio.org aims to be a useful instrument for this dimension considered specific to a centre for contemporary culture, which not only programmes but also remains
alert to relevant external initiatives. The platform cccbeducació.org
offers a meeting space for all those projects and programmes that
seek a harmonious balance between education and culture.
Firstly, the project has been based on a very open conception
of the terms culture and education, which means that it has not
been restricted by any specific programme nor strictly reduced to
the school field, as sole educational reference point. Secondly, it
has been possible to concentrate on that aspect that always turns
out to be most difficult, the existing relationship between these
two registers – culture and education – which institutionally have
been turning their back on each other for many years. Finally, and
perhaps as a consequence of everything else, it has not overlooked
the aspect of international references that allow a broad perspective to be maintained regarding the current speed of change that
our world is experiencing. In this sense, the commitment that the
CCCB has always made to the internationality of its programme is
a basic ingredient in which cccbeducacio.org has maintained this
initial component that formed a part of it.
One can talk of cccbeducacio.org as a CCCB own programme
because it gives evident demonstrations of the interest of its objectives. The CCCB today has an archive with a growing number of projects revolving around the relationship between culture
and education that allows it, or could allow it, to programme
with greater capacity for influencing the surrounding environment. And, the city’s education centres, understood in their
broadest sense, have a mechanism for citizen participation that
was non-existent previously: they not only contrast and compare
themselves with each other but also with the CCCB, and through
it, with an ever-growing reference universe.
The CCCB Education website had 23,156 visits during 2013.
This represented an increase of 78% with respect to the previous
year. It is a website with two contrasting profiles of users, 42% who
visit a lot of pages during an extended period (around 10 minutes)
and 58% who visit only one page on the site. As for the origin of
the users, they are based mainly in Barcelona and Catalonia (some
80%). Finally, the Twitter profile has some 5,434 followers.
CCCB Education — Activities and Workshops
Visits to the Exhibitions
During 2013 guided visits were offered to the exhibitions at the
CCCB, during which some 4,606 people attended.
The start of the year still allowed the exploration of the social
repercussions of an urban transformation analysed through an
exhibition very much directly linked to Barcelona: “El Paral·lel,
1894-1939”. During this final period of the exhibition, some 771
people attended guided tours.
From March to June, coinciding with the third school term,
material was offered for working in the classroom and guided
tours of the exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003”. Some 405
people attended guided tours. A teaching exchange experience
was created with different centres of the Latin America-Europe
Cultural Ring.
The school year ended and the summer was celebrated with
the exhibition “Pasolini Rome”, an exhibition based on Pier Paolo
Pasolini’s cinematographic view of the city of Rome, his vital relationship with the city and his view of the urban periphery. Some
693 people attended guided tours.
After the summer, with the new academic year 2013-2014, we
saw the return of a new edition of “World Press Photo”, known
worldwide as the main touring exhibition of photojournalism;
this was a unique occasion to discover the work of the photojournalist and the raw reality behind the news. Some 2,285 people visited the exhibition on guided tours.
At the end of the year, 252 people attended guided tours of “Espriu. I Looked Upon This Land”, which allowed work in the field
of languages. (This exhibition ended in March 2014, therefore the
number does not correspond to the total number of visitors). This
exhibition allowed a specific proposal to be created for primary pupils and families, intensifying the cultural experience for little ones.

Kosmopolis
Within the framework of the seventh edition
Organisation —
CCCB, Institut de Ciències
Fotòniques and Biblioteques de
Barcelona
Within the framework of the seventh edition of the Kosmopolis Festival, the CCCB’s Education Service collaborated with the Institut de
Ciències Fotòniques to carry out two activities related with the competition Light on the Waves. First of all, a round table that reflected on
the experience of the first edition of the competition, while focusing on culture, education, arts and sciences, and secondly, an invitation
to youngsters to create poems live with the help of groups such as Bläue, Joan Colomo, EXXASENS, D-Fried, Glissando*, Fernando
Lagreca, Lucy & The Bossons, Megaafonía, Pulpopop and Miss Q. After Kosmopolis, in September, the final concert of the second competition held in 2013 took place at the Teatre CCCB, with an audience of 350 secondary school pupils and teachers.
The literary itinerary “Barcelona Reads”, created by the CCCB and the Consorci de Biblioteques de Barcelona, was another of the
educational activities linked to the festival. A part of the itineraries were held during the festival and the rest in the autumn. The 462
people who attended had the opportunity to visit the Reial Acadèmia de Medicina, the Sala Cervantina at the Biblioteca de Catalunya,
the Sala de Reserves at the Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona and the Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat, with specialists who dealt with
different aspects of readings, for example Joanna Sierpowska and Diana López Barroso, of the Cognition and Brain Plasticity Group,
IDIBELL- Universitat de Barcelona; Núria Altarriba, from the Biblioteca de Catalunya; Albert Soler, from the Catalan Department of
the Universitat de Barcelona; and Montserrat Comas, director of the Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer.

January — June and October — December
After the first experience of the workshop “Photographic Spaces” during the 2011-2012 academic year, and within the framework of
the “Fotografia en curs” programme, this activity was developed towards the exploration of the public space that is photographed. The
workshop “The City of Photographers” proposed a creative and reflexive discovery of photography based on the link between photographic practice and the exploration of the city. The workshops were proposed as an exploration of the photographic heritage and of the
expressive selections of photography, and as an investigation into the city as a public space through photographic creation. The photographs produced have been published on the website www.fotografiaencurs.org, which constitutes a photographic archive and a visual
cartography of the city. During 2013, a total of 671 primary and secondary students enjoyed this learning experience.

Activities for Educators
4 July
The objective of this edition of TEDxRambles was to offer specific proposals to improve the world, through education. With the title
“Science, Technology and Conscience”, the need was tackled both of “teaching” and “enlightening” in the fields of science, technology,
economics, computer studies, etc., to better understand contemporary culture, such as incorporating the critical and ethical component
to issue and develop critical arguments and judgements on the excesses of technicist and scientificist culture.
The talks presented were given by Francisco Aréchaga (How to turn ideas into reality through conscience converted into willpower),
Marta García-Matos (Possible histories of light and matter), Josep Eladi Baños (Ethical considerations at the start of scientific medicine),
Joima Panisello (Shared responsibility of the patient, based on knowledge, is becoming essential). Irene Lapuente (Bodies that learn,
the relationship between education and dance), Jordi Serrano (Science, technology and the world of work), Josep Perelló (How to work
in science by maintaining a connection with city and citizens), Ramon Fauria (Trip to the Power of the Mind, sharing knowledge and
creation) and Jil van Eylen.

Cinema in the Classroom:
Organisation —
CCCB and Filmoteca de Catalunya
Proposals and Methodologies
November — December
CCCB Education collaborated with the educational programme of the Filmoteca de Catalunya, “Filmoteca for Schools 2013-2014”. Within the framework of this programme, A Bao A Qu / Cinema en curs developed a teacher training course with 5 sessions (3 theoretical
and 2 practical).
The course, which filled all its registered places, offered the tools and methodologies to introduce cinema as an art and as creation into
primary and secondary classrooms. For this reason one of the main objectives of the training was to provide participants with the basic
instruments necessary for carrying out activities related with the cinema in the specific context in which they work, and to be able to do
it from creative practice as much as from reflection and analysis. In this sense, it also tackled the connection between cinema and other
school curriculum areas and basic skills.

Beta City is a work and analysis platform that puts into play processes and innovative tools for social action. A space for exploring the
genetic make-up of the city in which we live, through an interdisciplinary perspective, designing prototypes and creative solutions for
the needs of specific territories/neighbourhoods and/or new social problem, in order to, subsequently, put them to the test.
The work and analysis platform is structured and resolved through three areas: Website, work spaces, and actions, that in 2013 were
developed through five activities: prospecting the territory, workshop, planning (work 2.0 and physical monitoring), prototype and
evaluation. The training workshop was held at the CCCB and attended by a total of 32 people.

autumn
A team of writers, narrators and illustrators work with primary school pupils so that the children can live in the first person the process
of creation of a book. The aim is, firstly, to contribute towards promoting a reorientation of the educational curriculum so that creativity
and narrative capacity open up space in the classrooms and form a natural part of the processes of learning, and secondly, for the cultural
offering of the CCCB to serve as a source of stimulation and raw material for the educational curriculum.
The following writers took part: Anna Manso, Bel Olid, David Nel·lo, Victoria Bermejo, Pau Joan Hernández, Jaume Copons, Susana
Peix, Mireia Vidal, Anna Fité, Sandra Gómez, Àlex Tovar and Anna Fernández Preixens; and illustrators such as Àfrica Fanlo, Arianne
Faber, Alba Marina Rivera, Artur Laperla, Marcos Isamat, Cristina Spanò, Clara Sáez, Lluís Cadafalch, Òscar Julve, Luisa Vera, Perico

CCCB Education — Itineraries
Urban itineraries
— Raval. Cosmopolitan Territory (itineraries on foot)
What was once the emptiest sector of walled Barcelona is today the most densely populated neighbourhood in the city. In this process
the Raval has become a cosmopolitan territory, but it has never managed to free itself of the effects of marginalisation. How is it possible
to favour a mixture of uses, cultures and classes without excluding anyone?
— Poblenou. The Productive City (itineraries on foot)
The utopian socialism of Cerdà saw in Poblenou the possibility of a New Icaria. Pla 22@, a testing bench for exploring the knowledge
society. De-industrialisation has filled it with abandoned factories and the collective memory of the workers and the cooperatives has
charged it with meaning. What must the city live on after de-industrialisation?
— El Carmel and Nou Barris. From the Right to Housing to the Right to a City (itineraries on foot)
The need for a roof over people’s heads is more imperative than any urban planning regulation. The fight of the neighbourhoods of El
Carmel and Nou Barris to achieve dignified housing is full of lessons for tackling a challenge that is still all-too-pressing today: how can
we ensure that the city accommodates everyone?
— Eixample. The Shape of the City (itineraries on foot)
The results of recent research have accurately given us a closer view of the complexity of the original Cerdà plan, but have also helped us
to be fully aware of the great flexibility of Cerda’s urban design and its capacity to adapt to the changes that the city has experienced over
the last 150 years. The Eixample is a vibrant modern district that is geared towards a future that demands new actions.
— Besòs. From Frontier to Public Space (itinerary by coach)
What was once a frontier between urban peripheries is now a nerve centre that transcends the municipal sphere and is helping to configure a new metropolitan city. Today the Besòs is a privileged space for interconnection within a context in which planning and urban
vision on a large scale have become fundamental.
— Llobregat. New Metropolitan Axis (itinerary by coach)
The Llobregat continues to be an essential river for the entire territory that it crosses: for the urban fabric surrounding it, for the delta
generated by it and for the economy in motion around it. This visit to the river – from Sant Joan Despí to its arrival at El Prat – aims
to analyse the Llobregat’s role as a fundamental axis in the territorial and economic organisation of this sector of the metropolitan city.
— La Sagrera - Sant Andreu - Sant Martí: Three Neighbourhoods Undergoing Transformation (itinerary by bicycle)
The La Sagrera area is the place where the largest urban transformation in the city of Barcelona is taking place, with the construction
of the great new railway station of Barcelona for the high-speed train and the incorporation of a linear park from the bridge on Bac de
Roda to the Trinitat interchange. The route leads around the sector first above it and then below it.
— From Montgat to the Barceloneta. A Variety of Seafronts (itinerary by bicycle)
The stretch from Montgat to the river Besòs is marked by the alternation of consolidated urban fronts and industrial sectors situated
right along the coastline. Having crossed the Besòs, two urbanistic operations serve to date the transformation of Barcelona’s urban
front: the Forum and the Vila Olímpica. The Barceloneta, the city’s port and fishing district since it was founded in the 18th century, is
today adapting to the new challenge presented by the advent of mass leisure and tourism.
Literary Itineraries
— Lavínia, the Barcelona of Salvador Espriu.
This itinerary includes a tour around the prose and the biography of Salvador Espriu, with Maria Nunes.
— Barcelona Reads
Barcelona Reads is an itinerary organised jointly by the CCCB and the Library Consortium of Barcelona that tours key aspects of reading
through the extraordinary collections and singular premises offered by different institutions in Barcelona, with the presence and explanations of specialists in the different subjects.

“Learning and Service” Programme
— Upon the proposal of La Blanquerna-Universitat Ramon Llull,
there was participation in the “Learning and Service” Programme
with the aim that their pupils learned by providing a community
service. Two classes were taught at the university to pupils in the
group in the norming and afternoon. Afterwards the pupils visited
the AFAB to get to know the users whom they would be addressing and finally, in the month of April, the same pupils carried out
an activity designed by themselves with the users of AFAB at the
CCCB.

from the following social spheres: disability, mental illness, social
exclusion and isolation, poverty, situations of vulnerability, risk,
gender-based and family violence, drug dependency and other addictions, HIV/AIDS, prisons, juvenile delinquency, elderly
people, precarious working conditions, unemployment, homeless
and newly-arrived immigrants. And also organisations of sensorial disabilities, special work centres, associations of chronic illnesses, associations of parents and families linked to syndromes or

Based on the exhibition “The Complete Letters”, produced by the
CCCB, the Centre Georges Pompidou produced the film series
“Cineastes en Correspondència” in which the filmmakers that
had taken part in the exhibition at the CCCB presented, two by
two, their complete work. Elective affinities that allowed new dialogues, new creations, new exchanges to share with their spectators.
The series began with the correspondence between Jonas Mekas and José Luis Guerin, from 30 November to 7 January 2013
(with 20,000 visitors), and continued with that of Albert Serra
and Lisandro Alonso, from 17 April to 29 June 2013 (with over

computers, smartphones, digital tablets, surveillance screens, etc.
All the screens that have come to be a part of our lives and are

Bolaño Archive, 1977- 2003
In Buenos Aires
19 December 2013 — 20 February 2014
A decade after his death and revolving around Bolaño’s known devotion to Argentine literature (he was a voracious reader of Arlt,
but also of Macedonio Fernández, Borges and Cortázar), the City
of Buenos Aires wanted to pay its own tribute to him and host the
exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003” at the Centro Cultural
Recoleta.
“Bolaño Archive” is the result of collaboration between the
CCCB and the heirs of Bolaño. Beyond the thematic focus, the
innovative museographic elements and other aspects, the strong
point of the exhibition is the presentation of previously unpublished material from the archives of Roberto Bolaño: novels, short
stories, poems, texts and various exercise books, correspondence,
family photographs, magazines and fanzines, his personal library,
a plethora of interviews, strategy board games and other valuable
materials, that provide a greater comprehension of the creative
universe of Bolaño and contribute to a freer and more prolific interpretation of his work.

of 2015, it will be presented at the Casa del Lector in Madrid, a
new cultural centre that makes readers and reading its main protagonists; and possibly it will continue its tour to the cities New

The concept of Post-it City refers to different temporary occupations of public space, be they commercial, recreational or of any
other type, with the characteristic that they barely leave a trace,
and self-manage their appearances and disappearances. Different multidisciplinary teams from Europe, North America, South
America, Asia and Africa have collaborated on this project, which
aims to configure the jigsaw puzzle of the informal city: spontaneous settlements, self-managed leisure, recycling as a strategy for
survival and imagination, alternative housing and other post-it
city phenomena that highlight the urban territory as a place where
there is an overlap of different uses and situations, in opposition
with the growing pressures to homogenise the public space.
Malaga joined the catalogue of “networked cities” with has
featured the participation of young researchers from all over the
country, through the contribution of results from the research
workshop on spontaneous uses of the public space that were carried out by Malaga University students at the Sala Fundación Cruzcampo. It could be said that, of all the adaptations made over the
course of its tours, the formalisation at this venue was the one that
best responded to the post-it concept because it was presented at
an alternative space that, in fact, is a car park.
“Post-it City” has also been presented at: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC, Santiago de Chile), Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo (EAC, Montevideo), Espacio Casa de Cultura - La Prensa
(Buenos Aires), Centro Cultural São Paulo, Museo de Cádiz and
Centro Centro de Madrid.

Xcèntric Archive
Organisation —
CCCB
The CCCB has a digital archive for free public consultation specialising in experimental film and creative documentaries, with
over 700 films. Among the new acquisitions in 2013, highlights
are the four most important titles of Maya Deren, the latest pieces
by Peter Tscherkassky, films by Henri Storck and other prominent
Belgian avant-garde filmmakers and also by young local authors
such as Gerard Gil, Albert Alcoz and Ana Pfaff.
The archive has given visibility this year to two local audiovisual projects: “Your Lost Memories”, an initiative that collects and
gives life to “orphaned” films in Super-8, and “The One-Minute
Video”, an initiative from the International Women’s Films Exhibition of Barcelona, which invites women to make films of a minute
in length and recorded in a single shot around a certain issue.
The Xcèntric Archive has also hosted at its premises three workshops related with animation. With the name
“PARAL·L·E·L·P·O·P·U·P”, the first two were devoted to exploring
the cut-out photo by photo animation technique using cut pieces
to create an experimental collage film by making use of many of
the materials from the documentation of the exhibition “Paral·lel
Avenue, 1894-1939”. The third workshop, aimed at a family audience, taught experimental animation with new digital tools in an
easy and accessible way.
On a regular basis proposals are made to visitors of “menus”
or thematic programmes for à la carte viewing and guided visits
are organised for groups (students from universities, film schools,
artistic and professional groups, etc.). With these educational and
dissemination activities, the aim is to bring this cinema closer to
potential viewers, expanding the cinema space and raising awareness regarding its continuing capacity to reinvent itself and its
possibilities for generating visual thinking.

The Unidentified Video Observatory archives are of an intentional and thematic nature: the aim is to facilitate a critique of contemporary culture using different strategies (video, art, independent documentary and mass media archaeology). The Archives
contain an entire constellation of disparate works, the common
denominator of which is their free expression and reflection on
individual and collective fears and pleasures. Together they build
up a view with numerous facets, of thousands of tiny eyes that
explore our world in depth, or announce other possible worlds;
a discourse whose main values are heterogeneity, contradiction
and subjectivity, and that aims to be a salutary lesson against the
cloning and repetition of the corporate mass media.

— Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003
The possibility of exploring the Bolaño Archive, offered to the
CCCB by his heir Carolina López, has also allowed the production of this catalogue which reviews the figure and work of Roberto Bolaño taking as a starting point the three places where he lived
a large part of his life: Barcelona, Girona and Blanes.
The work of Bolaño, from his youthful exercises “written to
free my hand” to the gigantic ambition of 2666, all seems to form
part of a universe in expansion, with its own laws, games, mirages
and connectivities. The catalogue helps, in this sense, towards unravelling the Bolaño enigma.

The total number of visits during the year totalled 313,850. This means that during this year a great effort was made to maintain the
number of visits despite the partial closure of the CCCB for building work during the months of September and October. This also
meant that during the year 2013, the average number of visits to the Centre for each day it was open stood at 896, slightly below that of
the previous year, which stood at 932.
In general figures, if the year 2013 is compared with the previous year, visits to exhibitions decreased slightly (from 149,796 to 142,346).
The number of people attending activities also fell (from 108,807 to 88,760), above all due to the reduction in the programming and
especially because this was the first year without the Sónar Festival. Furthermore, the figure of people attending courses was maintained
(from 24,948 to 24,595) and visits to the Xcèntric and CCCB Archives increased (from 13,426 to 17,015 visits), despite their being closed
for six weeks. Finally, a figure that increased considerably was that of people attending venue hire events (from 18,955 to 40,864). The
number of visits exceeded that of the previous year in the months of November, January and February, and it descended considerably
in the months of June and October.
As for the exhibitions programme, “World Press Photo 13” had the highest attendance, with 41,383 visitors, followed by “Pasolini Rome”,
with 36,349.
With regard to the activities programme, it is important to highlight for the first time the absence of the Sónar Festival. Of the other
festivals, those with the largest audiences in attendance were Món Llibre with 18,000 visitors, L’Alternativa with 9,267 and Kosmopolis
with 6,044. With respect to more specific activities, it is worth highlighting the offering of urban itineraries with 3,180 participants.
As for the audiovisual offering, the Xcèntric programme totalled 2,436 viewers, while Gandules totalled 5,916. These two programmes
increased their audience in comparison with the previous year.
As regards debates and courses, the “In Common” debate reached a total of 3,341 people attending the season’s nine sessions, each of
which had an audience in excess of 220 people. Highlights included the lectures given by Zygmunt Bauman with 700 in attendance and
by Ulrick Beck with 550, as well as that of Josep Ramoneda with 450. This debate was followed by the debates related with the exhibition
“Pasolini Rome”, with a total of 932 people attending.
Finally, as regards the CCCB holdings, during the entire year, the CCCB Archive received 8,155 visitors, a similar figure to the previous
year, and the Xcèntric Archive received 8,860. It is important to take into account that both archives were closed for six weeks.
Profile of the Exhibition Audiences
In order to learn about the profile of the CCCB’s audience, regular surveys were carried out among visitors to the exhibitions. In relation
with the five exhibitions of 2013, there were three that had a common point in terms of theme, as they focused on the figures of writers
and artists: Roberto Bolaño, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Salvador Espriu, but with regard to the public they had different results.
The exhibition “Pasolini Rome” had a higher percentage of visits from outside of Barcelona and over 50% of its visitors spoke French,
English and other languages. In spite of everything, in all cases, people resident in the city of Barcelona continued to constitute the largest volume of visitors. The other two exhibitions had more visitors who were Catalan and Spanish speakers. “Espriu. I Looked Upon This
Land” was the exhibition visited by the highest percentage of people who spoke Catalan, some 64%, and by a larger volume of people
from municipalities from all around Catalonia.
At all the exhibitions, the day with the highest volume of visits throughout the year was Sunday, followed by Saturday, except in the case
of the exhibition on Espriu, which was Tuesday, a fact that can be explained by the large number of groups that visited it.
With respect to ages, the two exhibitions that had audiences with the highest average age were “Paral·lel Avenue” and “Espriu”, while the
“World Press Photo” exhibition was that with the lowest average age.
In all cases, visitors came mainly on their own or accompanied by just one other person. Only the “World Press Photo” had a higher
percentage of visitors that came accompanied by a group of friends (some 18%).
