Marta Palau. My Paths are Earthly
to
Fundació Antoni Tàpies Carrer d’Aragó 255, 08007 Barcelona

For the first time in Europe, the Museu Tàpies presents a major retrospective of the artist Marta Palau under the title My Paths are Earthly; it includes drawing, painting and some of her large textile installations, in dialogue with objects and materials from her personal archive, never previously exhibited.
The ensemble is presented as a network of bodies/works structured around two main axes that cohabit from their opposites: the idea of land linked to exile and reception, understood as wound and scar, and the idea of body, which embodies the migrant’s pain and loss, but also healing and the possibility of generating life. It is interesting to pay attention to how in Palau everything is filtered from her own biography, an experience that, furthermore, expands and remains valid through the conflicts that characterize our contemporaneity, as well as its possibilities for transformation.
