the memorywith two exhibitions linked to mass graves and tourism during the Franco regime and a third dedicated to the Girona of the 80s and 90swill focus the new season of the Bolit. He Contemporary Art Center of Girona start the course next week with The shadow under the eyelid. Anatomy of the eccentric bodya project by the artist Pep Admetlla about the relationship between the brain, images and control, and in the coming months it will host projects such as the collective exhibition Apories about the aira reflection on sustainability and climate ethics by artists such as Maria Arnal, Job Ramos or Pep Vidal.
After closing an “exceptional” 2022 with 43,000 users and exceeding 32,000 so far this year, the Bòlit is starting up again depending more on “the vocation to be a refuge and a break to digest what’s going on” than on the numbers, says its director, Ingrid Guardiola. In this sense, it states that the aim of the eight proposals of the new season “is not to avoid the present”, but on the contrary, “to look at the past to address the complexity of current problems”.
El Bòlit gathers around 60,000 users during 2022
Thus, two of the most outstanding proposals of the new season will arrive in June and have to do with democratic memory. On the one hand, it is programmed Twenty-two holes to make a requiem, a “secular oratory” by Cabosanroque and Miquel Garcia around three convoys loaded with the remains of unidentified republican fighters who left Girona in 1959 towards the Valle de los Caídos. On the other hand, Holidays with Franco, a project in collaboration with the Museu de l’Empordà in Figueres that explores the contrast between the rise of tourism and the oppression of the dictatorship from works by foreign artists who spent their holidays here during the Franco regime.
The other memory exercise will be Infralocal. The Girones from 1985 to 1995an exhibition curated by Eudald Camps, art critic of Diari de Girona, and the artist Jordi Mitjà, which, in collaboration with the History Museum, will look towards a city that no longer exists.

This October, but Bòlit will host the Pep Admetlla exhibition, a project that synthesizes years of research on human anatomy and the relationship between the eye and the brain and which includes the recreation of an anatomical theater in Sant Nicolau, and the one with Bad Hair, The Bluebird Call. In this case, the company from Celrà will occupy two spaces in the center with a reflection on artistic relations and migrations.
She is especially ambitious Aporia of the areaa large-format exhibition that will be displayed at the three Bòlit locations between February and May will investigate our relationship with air both in terms of sustainability and imagination.
A poetic approach to the figure of the idiot, projects such as the Bòlit Mentor, Segona Residencia or Nexes and the residency program complete the cultural center’s programming.
