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.

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
