The Algerian artist Lydia Ourahmane gives a voice to 108 artists and collectives in the MACBA Tower as part of a major participatory and radical work in which everything is open-ended. Actions, talks, screenings and performances waiting to interact with the visitors.
In Love Me Fast the Asturian-born Iglesias reflects on romantic love in the age of social media, an idealised love comparable to consumer happiness, juxtaposed with the toxic relationships that often arise. The result is a series of works of great beauty which also question the notions of art and craft both in the history of art and in the present-day context of artistic creation in the 21st-century.
In this retrospective, Daniel Steegmann Mangrané, an artist from Barcelona who developed his vocation in Brazil, proposes an immersive experience with photographs, watercolours, installations, holograms, films and poetry that question the extractivist and hierarchical logic that we have with the environment.

For the first time, the museum is devoting a retrospective to a Spanish woman artist, Isabel Quintanilla (1938-2017), one of the key figures of contemporary realism. The exhibition features around 100 works spanning the artist’s entire career and including her most important paintings and drawings. Many have never previously been seen in Spain as they are principally housed in museums and collections in Germany, a country where she was widely recognised in the 1970s and 1980s.
The sculptural practice of June Crespo (b. Pamplona, 1982) is purposefully situated at the intersection of multiple pathways and contemporary lines of research. It engages in a transformative dialogue with the concepts that have shaped Basque art in recent decades—namely, “moving pairs” such as abstraction and gesture, the tragic and the opaque, lightness and strangeness. It also takes on certain pressing issues that have only recently been included within the broader debates, in particular with respect to feminist sensibilities and awareness of the devastation caused by modern lifestyles on the natural environment, now entirely subject to the cycles of industrial and post-industrial production and reproduction, amid the pressures of the Anthropocene.
This exhibit marks the centenary of the birth of Antoni Tàpies (1923–2012). A self-taught artist, music lover and bibliophile, Tàpies constantly wrote and reflected on the human condition, his historical situation and artistic practice, particularly on the limits and contradictions of painting. His beginnings were marked by the legacy of historical avant-garde movements and his ties with, the Catalan avant-garde group Dau al Set.
revisits and expands upon a research project undertaken by de Soto over more than a decade ago on Der grüne Tisch (The Green Table, 1932), an anti-war piece by German choreographer which holds a mythical the history of contemporary dance. Created in the interwar period and premiered in Paris during the rise of Nazism, Der grüne Tisch submerges its roots in a danse macabre and draws inspiration from the political texts of Kurt Tucholsky and Carl von Ossietzky, both of whom had already alerted of the dangers of National Socialism in Germany and its anti-democratic tendencies. Despite the choreography’s international acclaim, Jooss and his company — including a number of Jewish people — were forced into exile owing to anti-Semitic laws and the lobbying campaign articulated by Adolf Hitler’s new government and the Associated Press. The work has been performed ever since by different companies around the world. De Soto endeavours to explore the lasting impact on audiences who have seen Der grüne Tisch and on the dancers who have performed it through different periods of history and in different countries, thus generating an archive of testimonies stretching across sixty-seven hours and comprising four languages, six countries and two continents.
Bernard Plossu is a French photographer of great international recognition. The most important part of his work is made up of travel reportages In order to compose a kind of "photographic diary", Bernard Plossu has followed in the footsteps of Picasso in his journey through the Catalan places, spots that are currently considered pivotal in Pablo Picasso's artistic wealth. The exhibition brings together several photographs taken in Horta de Sant Joan, Gósol, Cadaqués and Barcelona, among others.
This exhibit consists of 150 works of art that together reveal Picasso’s extraordinary ability to create the innovative structures that made him one of the most influential artists of the modern period.
With a total of 17 pieces, the 11 artists on display played a pivotal role in the history of 20th-century sculpture, helping to better understand Chillida’s work and to place it in its art historical context. The exhibition begins outside the Zabalaga farmhouse with Morning cobweb by Alexander Calder (1969). Visitors can experience the space and lightness of this 7-tonne, monumental sculpture, which will be displayed alongside the work of Jean Arp and other sculptures by Eduardo Chillida.

This private collection of exclusive material about iconic characters and moments from Star Wars includes an impressive array of life-size replicas, statues, busts, autographs, dioramas, original storyboards, objects, props, costumes used in the filming of the movies and countless collectibles owned by fans of the galactic universe.
The Matter of Time allows the viewer to perceive the evolution of the artist’s sculptural forms, from the relative simplicity of a double ellipse to the complexity of a spiral. The last two pieces of this sculpture are created from sections of toruses and spheres that produce different effects on the movement and perception of the viewer. These are unexpectedly transformed as the visitor walks through and around them, creating an unforgettable, dizzying feeling of space in motion.
