L'escala
Nonument

The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) invited 28 artistsclosely associated with the museum to reflect on how, in a time of profound social changes and from the practice of art, it may be possible nowadays to enter into the problematic links brtween event, commemoration, aesthetics and cityes.

The result is a series of new proposals -specificly conceived for this exhibition- showing how the tradition of monuments can be reinterpreted through the artistic languages. At the same time, Nonument can also be seen as an open laboratory on the imminent proliferation of symbols colonising real and virtual spaces in our environment, a discursive platform from which to investigate how artists can join these pressing debates.
