Miró Cycle. Art and territory.

Conversation between Mercè Ibarz and Martí Rom

19.00. h

«Miró. Art and territory » is a cycle of twenty dialogues promoted by the Network of Art Museums of Catalonia to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Fundació Joan Miró. The program was born with the desire to vindicate one of the most universal figures of Catalan art and to generate new readings of his work and his thought from contemporary perspectives, connecting his legacy with the collections, stories and lines of work of the facilities that are part of the project.

In each session, two specialists linked to the fields of art, research, literature or philosophy will be invited to discuss a specific aspect of Miró’s universe. In the case of Lleida, these are Mercè Ibarz and Martí Rom . Over the course of three months, forty voices will contribute to building a plural perspective on the work of Joan Miró and to generating an itinerary of thought that relates the territory, the cultural history of the country and the museums that guard and interpret this shared heritage.

The sessions will address issues as diverse as the artist’s relationship with the land and landscape; the links between art, literature, music and spirituality; or the creative complicity with other figures such as Cristòfol. This polyphony will draw a map of affinities, influences and resonances that will allow us to understand Miró’s relevance and his ability to continue to challenge the present.

The entirety of this creative journey will be collected in a publication edited by the Network of Art Museums of Catalonia, which will bring together the reflections, ideas and debates that arose during the cycle, forming a collective testimony to the multiple readings that Joan Miró’s work continues to generate today.
