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.

Absolutely stunning! A must-visit. It&#39;s recommended to learn about the basic architecture and its history beforehand. If you don&#39;t get a Chinese explanation, ask the staff for a link at the entrance &ndash; the webpage has a Chinese explanation.

挺值得一去，更加适合父母带小孩去走走。公园有好几个入口，最好用最大的入口进去。我们从一个住家小巷的入口进去，路超斜的幸好走到一半有电扶梯剃😆

The design of the genius Gaudi is really eye-catching. It feels like being in the ocean world. The details are amazing. The visit is well arranged and interesting. The 3D effect of the visit pad is great. It is definitely worth a visit.

La Pedrera – Casa Milà

The black iron railing patterns and the top floor of the facade are the highlights. Compared with Casa Mil&agrave; and Sagrada Familia, Casa Mil&agrave; is a bit plain. It is best to visit Mil&agrave; first among the three treasures of Gaud&iacute;, then Casa Mil&agrave;, and Sagrada Familia. You will feel that the experience is getting more and more exciting and shocking.

Looking at Picasso&#39;s works again, I suddenly understood. The primitive, bold and strong things deeply attracted me and stimulated my sensory nerves! Picasso used various painting methods to express his own emotions casually. Basically, it was not purely aesthetic, but rational and abstract. He reconstructed and combined objects to bring people newer and deeper feelings!
