Una col·lecció permanentment canviant

We present a new look at the permanent painting collection of the Museu Can Framis of the Fundació Vila Casas. A reading that aims to be a statement of intent, the starting point of a new stage that should open the way to a process of listening, reading and rereading the legacy of Antoni Vila Casas. For the first time, we propose an exhibition discourse that seeks dialogue between the formal and conceptual aspects of the collection, in search of the invisible threads that run between the different works on display and that mark the main lines of work of our museums. Following Antoni Vila Casas's wish to move away from academic and conventional views, Una col·lecció permanentment canviant proposes a journey through the main motivations, formal and conceptual, that have stimulated Catalan artistic creation over the last decades, from an independent look at styles, fashions and prejudices. Artists of diverse generations and tendencies converse, united by a narrative that is their own and that they share. Each of them from the perspective of their time, but united at the root. An opportunity to understand, through this selection of works, a specific period of the history of Catalan art and of the society in which they were born. For Antoni Vila Casas, art was a way of living and of seeing the world. The museum, a place to learn, to understand and to grow, but also a playful space of affection and devotion. With this purpose, this new permanent exhibition aims to generate a narrative that allows us to read and better understand Catalan painting, but also our society, the world we live in and the time we have been given to live. In parallel, we inaugurate a permanent space in homage to the figure of Antoni Vila Casas, which traces, from a human and humanist perspective, the different facets of his life and professional trajectory. From the family context, through his professional dimension, to the creation of the Fundació Vila Casas. A unique opportunity to learn about and delve deeper into his biography.
