Exhibitions

The inauguration of the Documentation Centre and Library's new exhibition area will feature an exhibition of some of the pieces of experimental art created – outside of official cultural channels – in the mid sixties. These works of art represent a renovation of poetic language and a transgression of established limits. The frontiers between genres become blurred and poets decide to apply their avant-garde spirit to painting, music and theatre.

This event marks the opening of the exhibition La escritura desbordada: Spanish and Latin American experimental poetry 1962-1982 which is intended to help the public become familiar with the documentary collection of the MNCARS Library and Documentation Centre. The book edited by Felipe Boso invites reflection on the historical cannons that have formed around experimental poetry in Spain and its authors. The work includes a prologue by Josep Miquel García (Fundació Guillem Viladot), a text by Felipe Boso, and poems by José Antonio Cáceres, Elena Asins, Herminio Molero, José Luis Castillejo, Guillem Viladot, Felipe Boso and Fernando Millán.

This exhibition features a selection of magazines acquired on the occasion of the exhibition A Hard, Merciless Light. The Worker-Photography Movement, 1926-1939. The magazines show the link between documentary expression and working-class consciousness, exploring the importance of images in the founding of a new political and social ideal and suggesting that the struggle for power begins with the struggle for representation.
