If 2023 in Girona’s museums has been marked by sounded return d‘The Christ of Salvador Dalí in l’Empordà and for the launch of an ambitious trilogy about the Costa Brava at the Girona Art Museum with an extension in Figueres, 2024 will be the year of round anniversaries for the Dalí Foundation, the year of proper names and memory.
Until the end of April, The Christ of Saint John of the Cross, Dalí’s magnum opus that has returned home after seventy years without setting foot in the Statecan still be visited in the Dalinian temple, a facility that is fifty years old this year. This anniversary and the 120th anniversary of the painter’s birth are two anniversaries that will guide the Dalí Foundation’s projects for the coming year. From the institution they point out that they are just polishing the details of the programming, so for the moment they only wanted to advance a cycle of conferences on the influence of technology and science on the artist in col· collaboration with the Institute of Humanities of Barcelona and the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona.
Dalí’s “The Christ” returns to the Empordà more than 70 years later
The prominent proper names of this year that is about to start are mainly two: that of Olotí Quim Domene, protagonist at home with a quadruple exhibition, and that of Roser Bruthe Catalan girl who went into exile and became one of the great Latin American artists.
In the case of Domene, his city will dedicate to him from May to September the Quim Domene Universe, with four exhibitions spread over different spaces. Although works from the 1980s to the present will be exhibited, the project has not been conceived as an anthology of the artist, but as a selection of works that will dialogue with the settings where they are exhibited: from an accumulation in the form of a cabinet of wonders at the Hospice to an interpretation of icons as emblematic of Olot as the religious imagery at the Museum of the Saints and the painting of the load
Coinciding with the centenary of Roser Bruthe Girona Art Museum will pay tribute to the avant-garde artist in a retrospective that aims to review his entire career from a transversal perspective. Rose Bru overcome the distancewhich will arrive in the autumn, will vindicate one of the great Chilean artists of the 20th century, with a fascinating life traversed by exile, who did not receive recognition in her native land, Catalonia, until the last years of her life .
With work at the MoMA in New York, the MACBA or the Reina Sofía in Madridwas the daughter of the Republican deputy Lluís Bru, one of those imprisoned for the events of October 6, 1934. In 1939 she and her family boarded the Winnipeg, the legendary ship chartered by Pablo Neruda to take more than 20,000 refugees from the civil war to Latin America, where he made a career.
The exhibition, which receives the support of the Ministry of Culture of Chile, will be curated by Àlex Mitrani, curator of contemporary art at the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, and by Agna Aguadé, daughter of the artist and director of the Foundation Rose Bru in Chile.
The Art Museum temporarily parks the project on the Costa Brava and the other exhibition of the year will be Esclats d’un instant, 90’s. The contribution of the artists to the art fund of Today, the continuation of the two that have already been seen in 2023.
The artists who made “brava” the Girona coast
Francis Abbota benchmark in conceptual art, installed for years in the Alt Empordà i Francis Galíanother committed artist whose outlook was changed by exile, are the prominent names on the exhibition agenda of the Jonquera Exile Memorial Museum for the coming months.
Look at yesterday to understand now
Beyond names and surnames, Bòlit’s bid for 2024 is a look at the past which does not seek to avoid the present, but to address the complexity of current problems.
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, Twenty-two holes to make a requiema lay oratory by Cabosanroque and Miquel Garcia around three convoys loaded with the remains of unidentified republican fighters who left Girona in 1959 for the Valle de los Caídos.
For the other, Holidays with Francoa project in collaboration with the Museu de l’Empordà de Figueres that explores the contrast between the growth of tourism and the oppression of the dictatorship from works by foreign artists who spent their holidays here during the Franco regime. The curator will be Cristina Masanés, who is always a guarantee of interesting things.
The other memory exercise will be Infralocus Les Girones from 1985 to 1995, a show curated by Eudald Camps, art critic of Giro Diaryna, and the artist Jordi Mitjà, who, in collaboration with the History Museum, will look towards a city that no longer exists.
El Bòlit will also propose a poetic approach to the figure of the idiot and a large-format exhibition that will investigate our relationship with air both in terms of sustainability and imagination thanks to artists such as Maria Arnal, Job Ramos or Pep Vidal.
