Panorama 21: Notes for an Eye Fire is a project that aims to reaffirm the museum’s commitment to the vitality of local production, by supporting site specific creation and reconsidering what it can offer—and how it can be best used—through a new generation of artists and audiences. Conceived as a long-term commitment by MACBA to support local practice, this is an initiative that aspires to make an enduring contribution to the resilience of Barcelona’s cultural ecosystem.

Panorama 21: Notes for an Eye Fire, which takes its title from a book of poems by Gabriel Ventura (Apunts per a un incendi dels ulls, Documents Documenta, 2020), will be co-curated by Hiuwai Chu (Curator, MACBA) together with Latitudes, the curatorial duo formed in 2005 by Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna. This type of collaborative work aims to widen institutional practices and bring independent perspectives, through a scheme that it is hoped will be maintained in the future.

Occupying the entire second floor of MACBA’s Meier Building, the exhibition will feature a number of newly realized projects alongside recently produced works. Moreover, Hiuwai Chu and Latitudes conceive this inaugural edition as a curatorial, editorial and communication channel where in-venue displays encompass a wider spectrum of online programing, publishing, streaming and engagement with MACBA’s users beyond the museum walls.
