Miquel Barceló Exhibition at the CaixaForum

Art & Photography — By Daniel Sz. on February 8, 2010 8:25 pm

If you’ve seen the peculiar sculpture of an upside down elephant supporting itself with its trunk, then you’ve already seen one of Miquel Barceló’s pieces. The Gran Elefant drent is located in the busy Paseo del Prado street, right outside the CaixaForum cultural building where the exhibition is being held. Originally from Majorca, Barceló is an artist known in Spain for working with different techniques and materials, something which this anthological collection tries hard to convey: cloths, ceramics, stone, watercolors, drawings and even travel journals that have been created by the artist since 1983 are on display. The exhibit lasts until June 13^th and entrance is free—the inauguration is this Tuesday, February 9th, at 17:30 p.m. For more information on the artist and exhibition go to here.
