De los juegos de la niñez is Letícia Costelha’s solo exhibition at HAUS. It is the result of five weeks of research by the Portuguese artist through OutResidence, the residency program that brings together BAR Project and the Galeria Municipal do Porto. From the local context of Barcelona, Costelha explores the value of childhood games, their social and playful implications, and transforms them so they can be rediscovered in adulthood.

¡Hablemos de jugar!
Workshop by Letícia Costelha for children aged 6 to 10
Saturday, October 4, from 12:00 to 13:30

As part of her exhibition From Childhood Games, Letícia Costelha offers a workshop inviting children to share the games they play today and how they play in the city of Barcelona. Through drawings, paintings, and the construction of playful objects using accessible and reusable materials, participants will be able to express their individual ways of playing and reflect on the role of play in their daily lives.

Carrer de Pujades, 99

 
During AR-DE, explore the universe of Per Henrik Adolfsson with The Soft Collapse.

The Soft Collapse emerged from an intuitive process rather than a defined concept. Guided by instinct and emotion, the series traces the experience of collapses, subtle griefs, and the effort to maintain balance amid uncertainty or when everything seems to be slowly falling apart. The work engages with dualities—control and chaos, clarity and ambiguity. Within these tensions lies a rawness and vulnerability that reflect the contradictions of being human.

 


Load Gallery

Load is a contemporary art gallery focused on media and digital art. Thanks to bespoke next-generation LED screens and an elaborate sound system, it brings digital art to life, showing the most ambitious artworks by internationally acclaimed artists and local talents. Load aims to redefine how media art can be exhibited and collected and how it can be shown alongside physical art to create a coherent narrative.


Friday 3: 16h a 20h
Saturday 4: 16h a 20h

Carrer de Llull, 134

 
Liminal Veil, Petecia Le Fawnhawk’s new solo exhibition at Load Gallery, reimagines the space as a landscape of thresholds and portals—a place where boundaries dissolve and new dimensions emerge. Monolithic forms, suspended garments, and a curated soundscape all function as markers of passage, inviting visitors into an in-between state where the body becomes apparition and absence resonates as powerfully as presence. Rooted in surreal spatial minimalism, Le Fawnhawk’s work distils form and perception to their essence, opening a door to the vast and unknowable.

My work exists in the space between worlds where the seen and unseen meet. I’m drawn to thresholds, portals, and forms that suggest a passage beyond the familiar and mile markers along the inward journey. "Liminal Veil" explores this in-between state: a place where identity loosens, time bends, and we step into something vast and unknowable yet familiar in dreams. —  Petecia Le Fawnhawk.

Petecia Le Fawnhawk (b. 1983, Arizona, USA) is a multimedia artist whose practice blends Modern Desert Surrealism with Romantic Minimalism. Her work spans photography, film, sculpture, music, and fashion, often combining analogue and digital processes.

 


Galeria ÚNICO

ÚNICO is the first gallery of arts and crafts in our country —and possibly in the world— serving professionals in architecture and interior design. They work to ensure that these crafts we have inherited from the past do not disappear and that today they receive the recognition they truly deserve.


Friday 3: 10h a 15h / 17h a 19h
Saturday 4: 11h a 14h / 17h a 19h
Sunday 5: 12h a 15h

Pallars, 85

 
For AR-DE the gallery will open its doors and can be visited alongside its founders,
who will share with attendees their vision and their commitment to making a true renaissance of the decorative arts and crafts possible.

At ÚNICO, visitors can discover the works of master artisans in disciplines such as ironwork, ceramics, wood, plaster, glass, or hydraulic tiles, as well as contemporary artists who create unique pieces and bespoke commissions. The space aims to build bridges between artisans and professionals in architecture and interior design, offering creative solutions of the highest artistic and technical quality.


 


MUSEUMS

Fundació Carulla - Sala Barcelona del Museu Terra

The Sala Barcelona is an extension of the Museu Terra de l'Espluga de Francolí in the city. A window on the rural world. 

The Museu Terra, of the Fundació Carulla, was inaugurated in 1988 in l'Espluga de Francolí and today is a cultural center that preserves, generates and shares knowledge, while promoting debate and reflection on sustainable social transformation from the rural world. In all these years we have found that the most important, when we talk about rurality today, is the special bond we have with the land understood as the soil that feeds us, as a cultural landscape of which we take care and, by extension, as a planet to which we can not fly / we can not give up. The Museu Terra wants to continue highlighting all this knowledge acquired over many centuries of coexistence with the land and the countryside, and above all, wants to expand the dissemination to convert all this knowledge into the new prism from which sustainability can be approached.



Friday 3: 11h a 14h / 16h a 19h
Saturday 4: 10h a 14h / 16h a 19h
Sunday 5: 10h a 14h 

Carrer de Pere IV, 141

 
The exhibition Plàstic. Genial o pervers? invites us to reflect on the fine balance between the use and abuse of plastic through the visual arts. An exhibition that explores the history of plastic and brings us several views on this material and the uses it has today. Plastic has transformed our lives with its resistance, lightness and versatility. But precisely these virtues have turned it into a serious environmental problem that affects the health of the planet and people. The exhibition, curated by Núria Vila and produced by the Museu Terra, explores this dilemma through four areas.

Guided tours (with prior registration).

Museu Can Framis - Fundació Vila Casas

Can Framis is the latest project of the Vila Casas Foundation, inaugurated in Barcelona in April 2009, where around 300 works are exhibited, dating from the 1960s to the present day and belonging to various artists born or living in Catalonia. Temporary exhibitions are held at Can Framis' Espacio A0.

Can Framis was a factory at the end of the 18th century, owned by the Framis family, which over time lost its activity and became the memory of Poblenou's own industry. Today, as a Museum of Contemporary Painting, it is a corner for artistic contemplation located in the same district, in the area of 22@, which has changed industry for innovation. The rehabilitation was carried out by BAAS Architects Studio.



Dissabte 4: 11h a 18h 
Diumenge 5: 11h a 14h 
* Access to the museum up to 30 minutes before closing

Can Framis is taking part in the gallery, showroom, and museum circuit organized by Poblenou Urban District, offering reduced admission on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5. Visitors will be able to enjoy the temporary exhibitions at a special price:

Antoni Vila Casas Painting Prize 2025
The jury of the Antoni Vila Casas Painting Prize 2025, organized by Fundació Vila Casas, has selected 29 finalist works from among the 528 submissions received for this edition.

The selected works will be on view in an exhibition at the Can Framis Museum from September 23 to October 26. The jury’s verdict will be announced, and the prize awarded to the winning work, at the opening event on Monday, September 22 at 7 pm.

Marc Larré, Sculpture and Power
The title of the exhibition refers to three lines of inquiry that have shaped Marc Larré’s practice in recent years. The first is the detachment of the sculptural object from its historical connections to power. The second is a critique of the privileges of visuality in the West, and the ways in which it has excluded and subordinated other forms of making and being. The third is the relationship between art and the possibility (or impossibility) of having an authentic experience. The works presented in the exhibition continue to delve into this research, just as the series of five pieces that won the Antoni Vila Casas Sculpture Prize 2024 does.

Admission: €5
