Una força del passat

"A Force from the Past" brings together a selection of works drawn mainly from the Contemporary Art Collection of the Fundació "la Caixa", a broad and diverse ensemble that constitutes an inexhaustible source of ideas, narratives and ways of interpreting our culture and our time. This exhibition takes its title from a poem by Pier Paolo Pasolini in order to pose a question to which the various works and artists respond in always different ways. The show brings together works that refer to earlier paintings, sculptures, mythologies and iconographies through quotation, appropriation, homage or critical confrontation. Not in order to establish closed genealogies, but to open a dialogue between eras from which to think about the present. For more information on the exhibition "Una força del passat", see the CaixaForum Barcelona website.
