"Barroco Mestizo" is the title of the first collective exhibition by four Latin American artists in Montana Gallery Barcelona. Inti (Chile), Jaz (Argentina), Saner (Mexico) and Decertor (Peru) presents next July 4th a collection of artworks created around a main concept, based on a letter from the XVI century.

This letter, dated December 1583, mentions an old tradition whereby mestizos and indigenous artists were recruited to represent some European classical prints, totally prohibiting any kind of creativity. The result, of course, used to escape from the original image, soaking up the personality of their creators. Today, back to the XXI century, the four artists behind "Barroco Mestizo" resume that tradition letting their styles and influences to recreate he original images, making new artworks that will be exhibited on the walls of Montana Gallery.

Opening Thursday July 3, 2014 from 20pm.
Exhibition from 04 July to 30 August 2014.
Inti (Chile), Jaz (Argentina), Saner (Mexico) and Decertor (Peru)

Love, love love the Saner pieces. His pen and ink work is fantastic. Will there be any prints for the show? A much as I love his originals they are, sadly, out of my price range.

Hey kids - getting to go on my much delayed honeymoon - and will be in Barcelona for a few days before stopping in Tangier and then Portugal - are there some good urban art galleries or areas of town with good street art that I need to check out?  

Thanks - this board is such a great resource - shoot me a PM (or post here) if you know of something that shouldn't be missed!

You can see the Banksy Picasso piece downstairs in the Picasso Museum. I was there in June and assume its still there.

[noirrion]

You should check out Montana Gallery. Enjoy

Every time I'm in Barcelona I visit the Joan Miró Foundation. Not exactly urban art, but I think it is one of the most fascinating modern art museums in Europe.

A visit to one of the Gaudí buildings is also a must. My favorite is Casa Batlló.

You're brave wandering round Barcelona at night.

The Miro Foundation is indeed wonderful.

You have to see Sagrada Família!
My favorite thing in Barcelona. Well...other than the tapas!
Took this around 10 years ago:


Be careful around Las Ramblas, someone stole my wallet there!

[Ottomatik]

Also, there is a Dali museum there as well.

If you're on your honeymoon… forget all about art and just stare into the eyes of the one you love

They are going to have to come up for air at some point.

[JAlternatión]

I'd also say the Miro foundation. The Picasso museum is good too. There's tons of Pez' smiling fish around on door shutters.

piece of non-art advice.... keep a very tight hold on to your wallet/bag/phone... it's unbelievable for pickpockets over there, especially around the Ramblas/beach. Amazing city though - one of my favourites.

Why do you say that? 
I found it to be one of the safest cities I've ever visited.
Even at night. Well that's the vibe I got anyway.

[nandaman]
