Ubu painter. Alfred Jarry and the arts | Picasso Museum Barcelona

Nov 27, 2025–Apr 6, 2026 (UTC+1)

Barcelona

Exhibitions

The first performance ofUbu Roi, by Alfred Jarry, in 1898, was a scandal. It dealt with an exaggerated and cruelly comic character that would later become a myth: “King of Poland, that is to say, from nowhere”, an “henorme” tyrant with greed, an infamous glutton and his “merdra”, which lets out all 6 letters from the first line. Thanks to this character, Jarry became famous at a very young age and even became a kind of celebrity. He adopted, in the most unforeseen circumstances, the role of Ubu with his accent, his extravagances, his manners, etc.

A celebration of its three-decade-long history of critical engagement with the transformative potential of artistic production and research, the project acknowledges the collection as an embodied constellation of works that come to life and engage with each other differently amidst a radically altered cultural landscape, marked by migration, political resistance, and new forms of collectivity.

Anna Moreno. The Third Twist | Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art

Feb 4–Jul 5, 2026 (UTC+1)

Barcelona

Exhibitions

In *The Third Turning Point*, the artist uses the format of a road movie to document the current state of a nomadic settlement built by Bouffier in the Algerian Sahara Desert in 1979. This settlement was commissioned by then-President Hooari Boumediene. The building represents Bouffier's utopian period, when his studio (RBTA) brought together architects, poets, painters, and others. This complex, originally planned to be built to modern standards, was ultimately unfinished, revealing the tension between the dreams of that time and the realities of modern colonial heritage.

MACBA is proud to present the first solo exhibition in Spain by Palestinian art duo Basel Abbas (born 1983 in Nicosia, Cyprus) and Ruanne Abou-Rahme (born 1983 in Boston, USA). They employ poetic techniques of sound, image, text, and performance to delve into collective memory, exploring stories of oppression, deprivation, and violence, as well as narratives of collectivism and resilience.

Exhibitions

The artist José Luis Rey Vila (born in Cádiz in 1900, died in Paris in 1983), using the pen name Sim, left behind one of the most vivid testimonies to the Spanish Civil War, particularly the Battle of Barcelona. As part of a series of exhibitions and projects commemorating the war, the National Museum recently acquired and will exhibit nearly one hundred paintings created by the artist during the Civil War. These works are of exceptional quality and highly expressive, some depicting the brutality and cruelty of war, vividly portraying its horrific aspects.

Sant Feliu de Llobregat

Celebration

The twelve cities of the Barcelona metropolitan area are once again enveloped in the energy of dance as the festival showcases one of Spain's most extensive and comprehensive dance programs, with numerous outstanding local and international artists performing in various cities. This year, street dance is the central theme of the festival, and thanks to the "Artèries" project, its energy will reach every corner. Like the arteries of the human body, this project extends dance from the heart to the limbs, connecting professional street dance choreographers in Catalonia with local schools, and through schools, establishing connections with the general public. Through this project, the Metropolitan Dance Company celebrates breakdancing's recognition as an Olympic sport and the vitality and power of urban dance, a perfect bridge from the streets to the stage.
