"Light Through the Cracks" takes viewers on a journey through the diverse forms of collective creation that have emerged through video art from the 1970s to the present. At its heart lies the experience of Video-Nou / Servicio de Vídeo Comunitario (Community Video Service). This group, active during Catalonia's transition, viewed video not only as a technological medium but also as a political and social tool to foster self-organization, community empowerment, and counter-information dissemination. Starting from this historical juncture, the exhibition unfolds across different thematic areas, weaving together archives, practices, and strategies from other countries and international groups (regardless of their historical context or contemporary characteristics). The exhibition is not a linear genealogy but rather a series of experiences that blur the lines between art and activism, documentation and fiction, aesthetics and ethics.

The artist José Luis Rey Vila (born in Cádiz in 1900, died in Paris in 1983), using the pen name Sim, left behind one of the most vivid testimonies to the Spanish Civil War, particularly the Battle of Barcelona. As part of a series of exhibitions and projects commemorating the war, the National Museum recently acquired and will exhibit nearly one hundred paintings created by the artist during the Civil War. These works are of exceptional quality and highly expressive, some depicting the brutality and cruelty of war, vividly portraying its horrific aspects.

As part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Barcelona (MACBA), this new collection exhibition explores how a vibrant life form spreads its wings, transforming its subjectivity into a liberating space. The exhibition abandons traditional chronological narratives, instead re-examining the collection through dialogue with new modes of being and action. It presents a multifaceted perspective, reaffirming the collection as a constantly growing, open, diverse, and ever-changing whisper.

The exhibition is a tribute to the most brilliant and international sculptor of Catalan Romanesque, the Master of Cabestany —for some a true Picasso of the 12th century— and to his masterpiece, the missing marble portal of Sant Pere de Rodes , in Port de la Selva (1160-1170). The show will also address the surprising life trajectory of this artist —between Tuscany, the French South, Catalonia and Navarre—, as well as the numerous open questions in relation to the sources and original intentions of his art.The appearance of a series of pieces from this set and the entry of five of them (a relief, two male heads, a fragment of clothing and the INRI plaque of the cross) into the MNAC collection have led to this ambitious and far-reaching exhibition, which aims to highlight the originality and “modernity” of this itinerant sculptor in the context of European Romanesque, as well as to draw attention to the extraordinary artistic dimension of the Benedictine abbey of Sant Pere de Rodes and its long and turbulent heritage history from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era. The monastery, nestled in an incomparable place, where nature is inseparable from art, has become a contemporary myth in the history of Romanesque art.

The first national retrospective of 2025 Joan Miró Prize laureate Capuvani Kiwanga will open on April 29th. The exhibition is a joint effort between the Stavros Niácos Foundation (SNF) and CUPRA. Kiwanga creates compelling interior architecture, exploring the materiality, economic exchange, and geological temporality that shape our relationship with space. This exhibition, conceived specifically for the Joan Miró Foundation, will fully reflect his exploration of space and control, offering a radical contemporary perspective on architecture and its power structures. Kiwanga's work exhibits an extremely precise and coherent internal structure. Her artistic practice interacts organically with architecture: the artist explores materiality, resource flows, the exchange economy, and the power structures that organize regions and groups. Building on her research into architectural structures and material circulation systems, in recent years Kiwanga has extended this paradigm to fields beyond the human time dimension, such as geology, thus enabling her to understand space and systems from a perspective beyond human timescales. Kiwanga is an anthropologically trained and internationally renowned artist. She has created a series of works that use refined installation art to deconstruct hegemonic narratives and analyze the relationship between power, architecture, place, and the body. The jury of the Joan Miró Prize praised her ability to transform complex historical and social processes into poetic and rigorous conceptual forms that engage in profound dialogue with Miró's radicalism and Celtic architectural ideas. This exhibition will bring together a series of the artist's previous works, as well as a large number of new works created specifically for the Barcelona exhibition. The exhibition will revolve around the following themes, focusing on three key areas: materiality, economic and cultural exchange and its structural tensions, and contemporary crises related to place, encompassing various aspects such as agriculture and housing. All of these aspects are directly related to the architectural perspective that runs through this year's exhibition project, positioning Kiwanga's work as a rethinking of how the world we live in is constructed.
