From 13 October 2026, the museum is temporarily closing for renovations. We look forward to seeing you at the activities we have prepared in other spaces, which you can consult in the agenda section of the website.
What does the gaze reveal when it stops distinguishing clearly what it has in front of it? Fog and darkness blur outlines and alter our usual way of perceiving the environment. For Antoni Tàpies, looking is an exercise that allows us to broaden knowledge and discover what escapes our notice. But when visibility diminishes, how can we orient ourselves?
This question resonates in two works by Tàpies present in the museum: the Mitjó, on the terrace, and Núvol i cadira, on the façade. The tangled threads inside the mitjó evoke the dense, metallic web of the cloud. In both works, the irregular textures of the materials blur the outlines and invite us to look beyond recognizable forms, toward what remains partially hidden.
