Art connection
Looking for a cultural fix? Head to one of Barcelona’s best art galleries, where entrance is always free and the artistic spoils are endless.
N2 Galería
Annually, N2 Galería presents eight shows in Barcelona, mainly solo projects by artists from around the world. Until April 29th, see David Moreno’s ‘Obra Reciente’. In his sculptures, Moreno inspects human relationships: the bonds we establish and the flow of energy, love or power between people. He uses piano strings—flexible, but strong—and steel rods to illustrate the links, affiliations and phobias that unite us with others. To contemplate those thin lines is to get lost in their interconnectedness. Enric Granados 61.
ADN Galería
More than just a space to hang up pretty pictures, adn galería is committed to building international networks for their artists, backing each of their careers through an active campaign of media coverage, online communication and participation at art fairs. Its current exhibition, ‘Dinner at The Dorchester’, is the third and final act of a project shaped as an opera called Order. Open until May 10th, it is the fifth exhibition by DEMOCRACIA at the gallery. Formed by Pablo España and Iván López, DEMOCRACIA explores the relationship between society and politics, focusing on power structures and their mechanisms: modes of production, repression devices and control technologies, among others.
