Description
Jaume Plensa: A Journey Through the Human Experience This catalogue explores the work of Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa, one of the internationally renowned artists of our time. Spanning from the 1980s to the present day, the exhibition delves into the dialogue between Plensa's representations of the human figure and his abstract works, highlighting the tension between opposing pairs such as light and dark, silence and sound. Through a selection of artworks, the catalogue examines the very condition of being: our physical and spiritual essence, our consciousness of ourselves and our past, our moral codes and dogmas, and our relationship with nature. The publication includes a photo essay of the exhibition at the MACBA, as well as contributions from the artist, curator Ferran Barenblit, British art curator Clare Lilley, writer Catherine Millet, and contemporary composer Hector Parra. A unique insight into Plensa's oeuvre, this catalogue offers a nuanced understanding of his work and its place within the broader context of contemporary art.
