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.
Saturday 29th: 11h to 18h
Sunday 30th: 11h to 14h
* Access to the museum up to 30 minutes before closing
Monòleg, diàleg i concepte is the pretext that allows us to trace a discourse around the painting collection of the Vila Casas Foundation. This pretext places, as a starting point, questions such as the coexistence of different authors or of the same author with himself and his different creative moments. All this leads to the question of how the dialogue between the various disciplines and creative languages that coexist today takes place.
This review of the permanent collection of the Can Framis Museum is a personal journey led by Antoni Vila Casas, who has shaped this collection over the years, determined to protect, care for and promote contemporary Catalan art and its artists.
On Sunday, March 30 at 12pm, an exclusive guided tour of the permanent exhibition Monòleg, diàleg i concepte will be offered.
The visit allows to discover works by artists such as Amèlia Riera, Mario Pasqualotto, Mar Arza or Antoni Tàpies; the new monographic rooms dedicated to artists such as Jaume Plensa, Antoni Llena or Josep Guinovart.
Price: 5 €
