30 anys de música normal Gràcia Territori Sonor 1996-2026

Gràcia Territori Sonor (GTS) is the most prominent and long-lasting associative project for the dissemination and promotion of experimental music in both Barcelona and Catalonia. Since its founding in 1996 by Víctor Nubla, Juan Crek, Bel·lo Torras, Claudi Feliu and Sergi Doladé, with Io Casino as rapporteur, it has organised more than a thousand events, including concerts, shows, workshops and talks. In addition to publishing records and magazines, and collaborating on book editions, GTS has its own radio programme on Ràdio Gràcia, titled Música i Geografia. Among its various modes of action, Microtopies, an international call for sound miniatures, stands out; the Laboratori Àgape, in which musicians, poets and cooks come together to create unique pieces combining these three elements; and, perhaps the best known, the Dispositiu LEM – Encontre Internacional de Música Experimental de Gràcia, Barcelona, whose contribution to the European sound experimentation scene has been decisive for at least four generations of artists. To mark its thirtieth anniversary, La Virreina Centre de la Imatge will stage the first monographic exhibition devoted so far to Gràcia Territori Sonor. This show will allow visitors to explore its extensive trajectory comprehensively and will bring together a substantial part of its vast audiovisual, photographic and editorial archive.
