The museum will present a large video installation at the Sala Oval (Barcelona, 1943). Created in New York City between 1980 and 1982, From the center is a fundamental work both in the artist’s career and in the history of video art. This work of great technical complexity and rich in meaning evokes the great megalithic monuments of antiquity, is an electronic "Stonehenge", in the words of the artist. Due to its quality and importance in the historical perspective of Catalan contemporary art, the Generalitat has recently acquired it for the National Collection of Contemporary Art and is already part of the MNAC collections.
The twelve monoliths in a circle form a large transient panorama and offer a total of partial visions that, as a whole, represent a unique and complete contemplation of the world. The filming of all the images was made over two years from a single fixed point on the roof of a building in the center of Manhattan, on the Broadway corner of the Grand St. George. The sounds and music of each of the twelve channels were created by the artist, musician and sound pioneer Peter Van Riper (1942-1998). The sum of the twelve video and sound channels generate an intense and complex space.

Beautiful scenery, fantastic architecture and a very rich culture to learn from. Had a great time visiting this place and would recommend it to everyone to visit too.

Casa Batlló

It is very convenient to buy and use, the ticket is issued quickly, and the QR code is directly admitted. Remind that the ticket time is the earliest admission time, and it is not allowed to enter early. The design is so beautiful, super recommended, I feel that the submarine at night has found what it looks like in reality.

Looking at Picasso&#39;s work, suddenly I understood, that primitive, bold, strong thing deeply attracted me, stimulated my senses! Picasso casually used various painting methods to express his own emotions, basically not pure aesthetics, is to move to rational, abstract, re-constituting objects, combination, bring people newer, more profound feelings!

The museum is a very popular tourist destination in Barcelona. It&#39;s quite big and majestic. It offers a stunning view of the city. Inside there is a large selection of paintings, statues and other types of art. But you can also just walk around.There are shops and cafes. Tickets can be purchased on the spot. Surrounded by a huge green park where you can walk all day.
