Conference presented by Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar.

Una casa molt particular (A Quite Peculiar House) addresses the fragility and complexity of contemporary art in an ephemeral exhibition which becomes a reflection on current art works, moving between life and the elements in the midst of a society obsessed with the media, and dwellings regarded as both the return to private and everyday space.

Cet obscur objet du désir

(December 1996)

Collective exhibition at Baixada de les Escaletes in Mataró.

Works by Sonsoles García-Ramos, Ramon Guillén Balmes, Julia Montilla, Itziar Okáriz, Ester Partegàs, Joan Rom and Eulàlia Valldosera.

Cet obscur objet du désir. This title in French recalls the film and poetry works linked to the ever unclear conjectures of surrealism. Beyond any specific thought, the works by each artist taking part in the exhibition share a journey into the unknown, guided by the desire to glance and lose themselves in the labyrinths of the subconscious.

Ceci est la couleur de mes rêves

Collective exhibition at Baixada de les Escaletes in Mataró.

Works by Akané, Xavier Arenós, Jordi Canudas, Jordi Cuyàs, Domènec, Josep Ma. Martín, Dani Montlleó, Aureli Ruiz and Erich Weiss.

This is the colour of my dreams. This sentence was written by Joan Miró on a painting from 1925 in which the white of the canvas gives way to a small, cloudy white stain, serving as the title and presentation of an exhibition which will open next Saturday the fifteenth in Mataró.

This will be the first cultural activity prepared by a new group of citizens eager to participate directly in a debate focused on contemporary culture. The exhibition features works by new artists from different parts of the world and with different concepts, artists with renowned careers in art where the use of a wide range of three-dimensional materials and photographic processes are the most common elements.

Akané, Xavier Arenós, Jordi Canudas, Jordi Cuyàs, Domènec, Josep Ma Martín, Dani Montlleó, Aureli Ruiz and Erich Weiss are the first artists to be invited by this new association. The exhibition project aims to be the public presentation of an initiative that may extend its programme and area of activities with time, while remaining true to the values of contemporary culture.
