Something makes clear Fabulous landscapesBarcelona now needs a living art center. It's a sustained demand from artists, curators, cultural professionals, and their audiences for three decades: a stable, public, and flexible space to create and exhibit the present. We're not talking about just another tourist showcase, but rather an infrastructure that places the production and access to artistic production at the center. In all this time, despite the early warning from the Association of Visual Artists of Catalonia (AAVC), the city has had a series of failed attempts: the brief period of the Santa Mònica as a programming center in the style of Kunsthalle, the attempt at the Canódromo, biennials and fairs that fade away. The balance is clear: structural precariousness, discontinuous programs, and brilliant seasons followed by long silences.
